    My Best find ever

    Hi My Fellow TH'ers
    Well You asked for it so here is my Best Find to date, it is an 1854 Type I US One Dollar Gold Dollar. I attached a picture of it for your enjoyment! This was found with my Whites XLT at a depth of 9.5 inches. It registered as a Cent/Dime and bleeped on the screen for just a second then was gone. It showed up just long enough to light up the screen and then was gone. I went over the spot five times before I decided to dig it out and man did that make my day!
    Happy TH'ing one and all
