How Many Gold Coins Have You Found...If Any ?

Looking at the results of the poll and seeing that Paul has yet to find his first gold coin with all the detecting he does with his Etrac and the many years at it, doesn't give one a lot of encouragement.

However, that doesn't mean that we all can't find our first one around the next corner.....LOL :daydream:

My uncle found a five dollar gold piece in about 1935 when he was twelve. That's about as close as I've gotten. He traded it at a local hardware store for a BB gun. He used the BB gun to shoot Robins. He sold the Robins to the Italians in his small town for a nickel each. People, especially Italians, used to consider Robins very good to eat (my uncle was fond of Robins though he was Russian). Robins were almost brought to extinction because they were so good to eat and were hunted so avidly. It is now illegal to shoot Robins, and they are making a good come back. But it’s still legal to find gold coins…..

The bottom line is: there's gold coins in the dirt out there, we just got to find it! eace:
