    Started this hobby in 1973? I was still in High School. I bought my first Garrett TR metal detector around 1973. Great find! Still on my bucket list.

    I bet you're still as excited today about that find as the day you found it. And I wouldn't blame you one bit. Took 40+ years to get it. It'll take another 40+ years for the excitement to finally stop. Congratulations!

    though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    That may be your first gold coin but you have more then made up for it with gold rings! Thanks for all your great videos. I started metal detecting about 2 years ago and your videos have helped me immensely.

    Holy CARP ! What a beaut, makes the seated look like trash !
    A club of few you now belong.
    Certainly hope I do not need to dig as many holes to get there.
    Gonna dig 'em anyway though.
    Congrats King Coinage.

    Incredible gold piece. You must have a really good site there, that's probably never been hunted or was hunted by terrible metal detectors back when. Rarely do I ever see anyone dig pre-1930's coinage out of the water unless it was a recent dropped wheat cent or something along those lines.
    Good job on containing yourself MOSTLY throughout the video. I probably would have spit out my mouthpiece when I saw a seated, attempted to scream out loud, but realistically gulped in a ton of sea water and died. LOL.
    I think you're right with the marks on the reverse. Probably part of an old pin of some sorts. A LOT of gold pieces you see nowadays, especially on eBay too, are damaged due to people during the 1800's taking them and making all sorts of jewelry pieces out of them and giving them to their spouse, girlfriend, etc.

      Try some gold jewelry dip cleaner. Little bit of silver cleaner polisher and a soft cloth might do the trick just don't rub it aggressively.

    • @freeganjustin6699
      @freeganjustin6699 7 років тому +1

      The size and location of the spots on the gold coin suggest the remains of solder from the attachment of a pin. If so, difficult to remove without leaving a stain. If it is tar, you just dissolve it with spirit or acetone.
