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
Can't believe, I'm sitting here watching Metal Detecting Video's from all my subscriptions, then a Notification pops up from DetectorComparisons and they're out digging Gold Coins. Grabbing Gear, Heading Out. Gold Fever just hit. Congrats!
I'm sure a lot of people think this video could be a set up like they buried those coins before making the video normally "I would think that you know to good to be true " but life can be surprising when you unexpected it so yeah I believe this is a real find so good job guys I can't wait to start my metal detector searching 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&searchterm=Sovereign+1859&category=9&searchtype=1 goldsovereignexpert.com/coins/47/1859-Ansell-Gold-Sovereign/ With only 15 -25 Ansell sovereigns known to still exist, it's a very rare coin. George Ansell was born in Carshalton, Surrey on 4 March 1826. His early career was in medicine and was an apprentice to a surgeon for 4 years. Chemistry was however to be his calling and he subsequently studied at the Royal College of Chemistry, followed by becoming an assistant to German chemist, August Hofmann. In 1856, Ansell joined the Royal Mint following recommendation to the Treasury by Thomas Graham, Master of the Mint. In 1859, a batch of gold was rejected by the Royal Mint. It was found to be too brittle and therefore deemed unfit for coin production. Chemical analysis revealed that traces of antimony, arsenic and lead were present. Due to Ansell's background in chemistry, he was able to persuade the mint to allow him to experiment on the rejected gold. As a result, he was able to produce an incredibly strong alloy that became the 167,539 'Ansell' sovereigns that were struck. For his efforts, Ansell was awared a £100 bonus. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator, this would equate to around £11,000 today. The only identifying feature of an Ansell sovereign is the presence of an additional line on the ribon used to tie back Victoria hair. With only 15 -25 Ansell sovereigns known to still exist, it's a very rare coin. In September 2012, the auctioneer Baldwin's offered for sale one of the finest Ansell sovereigns available. The hammer fell at £13,000 and with buyer's premium at 20%, it took the final purchase price to £15,600.
4 gold coins are worth $19,840 each or $79,360 total, but if they are very rare as only 25 exist today, I say you could get offers of $25K - $50K EACH! This gold spill is work $200K WOW!!!
This is going to inspire thousands of viewers to immediately run down to the Best Buy or Walmart to buy a metal detector... The metal detector companies should be paying you guys royalties... $$$$
Fan freekin tastic!!! Congratulations and welcome to the gold sovereign club John. Did the same as you back in 2014 here in New Zealand. That day I dug four full sovereigns and one half. Mine were in a line of about 12 feet like someone was running with a hole in their pocket. A day you will never forget John. Once again, congratulations man
Oh my God! Oh my God! This is definitely the find of lifetime! I can’t imagine how all those gold coins got there! The story behind them must be fantastic! Congratulations on all four beautiful Gold Coins!
Huge Congrats John! I am lucky enough to say "I know how you feel!" So glad you all were lucky enough to get it on tape as well. Loved watching it. ATB Greg
At the risk or ruining your thread Carter, I have to ask the people who challenged finding British gold coins on American soil as fake...........What the heck do they teach you about history in school?? Seriously? Great video Carter and congratulations John. I was getting excited just watching the video, I couldn't imagine being there seeing it live!
In 2005 I found two 1852 $5 dollar Liberty Head gold coin, 15 feet apart in upstate NY. And you found four of them in the same hole. Wow! That's awesome! Congratulation.

I am glad you guys handle those very respectfully!! It drives me nuts to see somebody rubbing it with their thumb!! Yeah, good thing he drove his own car!!! I guess I know who bought the beer that night!!!
Congratulations guys on the once in a lifetime find!!! :) Those coins are gold sovereigns and the smaller one is a half sovereign, those were minted in UK and Australia in the 19th and early 20th century, am surprised you's found them in USA!!! I have found an 1873 gold half sovereign (Melbourne minted) myself at a tidal water trap at Sydney Harbour myself 2 months ago, not a place you would expect to find one!
take off 5cm of dirt, then go over the same area again. repeat several times. maybe there´s more deeper down, and a mole just brought 4 of them up. (not kidding: I know stories of treasure trove, where people *eyeballed* the first coins on a mole hill and then started digging up a lot more!)
What an awesome day! That story will be told for generations! I always find myself wondering the exact circumstances that led to those winding up there
What an amazing video with live digs of 4 beautiful gold English colonial coins. They look like full and half sovereigns. Congratulations, they are a once in a lifetime find. I would grid the find area, then carefully take off a foot of soil. Check the spoil removed and then detect again, just in case some are deeper and not within the equinox's range. Jason
Those first two were gold Guineas. The third looked the same. The fourth was either a gold sovereign, maybe a half sovereign. You can still buy gold Victorian sovereigns online. They cost about 20% more than a new sovereign. About £250.
The way he hold on to that coin and refuses to give it to the camera-man made me wonder if that was the one ring to rule them all. I really thought he was going to say my precious at some point lol
OMG! Well done! People find those gold Sovereigns and Half Sovereigns in Australia too, So I know what they are worth. That's some serious dollars there if Big John were to sell them!
Welcome to the club. After I found my gold coins in a similar fashion if seemed like I could never top the gold and I lost interest in the hobby. I stopped for about a year but I'm back congratulations john

Maybe it's the camera angle, but Big John doesn't appear to be particularly large. Regardless, the finds of a lifetime for Average Size John. Congrats!
each coin approx 7.5 grams...and roughly 800$ per. but that depends on the eye of the beholder..remarkable, incredible and definitely envious..wow..find of a lifetime for most of us..
I WENT YESTURDAY TO MY APT'S KID PLAYGROUND, MY EXCALIBUR 2 GOT ME 68 PENNIES AND ONE DIME...NOT AS HAPPY AS YOUR LUCKY CATCH BUT TIL NEXT TIME IT WILL SUFFICE
Great video, one wonders how they could have got there - that was a serious amount of money back then to just fall through a hole in your pocket. Maybe hidden and forgotten. If only coins could speak, what wonderful stories they could tell....
May 19, 2019---Friends dad was into metal detecting, along with gold panning in Nevada & Calif. He'd hit ghost towns which weren't registered as historical places, along with old mining camps, abandoned and closed city dumps and places where shepherds would tend their flocks back in the day.He, a bud of his and his buds wife took off for California, with the guy buying his wife a metal detector as she wanted to try it herself, instead of using his. They get to their destination and right off the bat, the woman's using her metal detector which was NO WHERE near the spot the 2 guys had planned on working over. Then her detector went off from something under a rock and after a few minutes, pulls out a rotting, leather bag that had FIFTEEN GOLD COINS! No, don't remember what denomination they were as it's been 20 years since I was told this story. Talk about 2 guys doin' a face palm at her discovery.As to my friends dad, he'd been doing the detecting for 30+ years, with him having 3 filing cabinets, each with 4 drawers. Couldn't believe what he had inside just ONE DRAWER. Had FOUR paper racks filled with gold coins in protective sleeves that he had cleaned up. Why so many? He hadn't had time to put them in one of his THREE bank safety deposit boxes. Called all that his "retirement money". Old casino chips, dog tags from the 1920's, colored/partially colored bottles, some which were Coke bottles from the 20's, others were old pharmaceutical bottles, buttons, belt buckles, etc. I was kind of shocked when he quoted me prices on some of these things because I was thinking who's going to buy old dog tags issued by the city? How about $20 MINIMUM? Which shows people will collect any and everything. Thanks for the video.
@Old, bald fat man. That lady was really fortunate! it's the second best I've heard of. The best was a couple in Northern California walking on their large property with thei dog after a recent heavy rain. The wife (I think) saw something glimmering in the sun, which turned out to be a large coffee can which was filled with gold coins. There was a second can found as well, I believe. There were so many, that when they were sold or auctioned, the couple ended up with $10 million!
Nice job unbelievable nothing like finding a gold coin I found the eagle in my avatar I was shocked!!! I’d get a PI detector and go over that whole area!
though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily.

Truly amazing. Congratulations....

He'd hit ghost towns which weren't registered as historical places, along with old mining camps, abandoned and closed city dumps and places where shepherds would tend their flocks back in the day.He, a bud of his and his buds wife took off for California, with the guy buying his wife a metal detector as she wanted to try it herself, instead of using his. They get to their destination and right off the bat, the woman's using her metal detector which was NO WHERE near the spot the 2 guys had planned on working over. Then her detector went off from something under a rock and after a few minutes, pulls out a rotting, leather bag that had FIFTEEN GOLD COINS! No, don't remember what denomination they were as it's been 20 years since I was told this story. Talk about 2 guys doin' a face palm at her discovery.As to my friends dad, he'd been doing the detecting for 30+ years, with him having 3 filing cabinets, each with 4 drawers. Couldn't believe what he had inside just ONE DRAWER. Had FOUR paper racks filled with gold coins in protective sleeves that he had cleaned up. Why so many? He hadn't had time to put them in one of his THREE bank safety deposit boxes. Called all that his "retirement money". Old casino chips, dog tags from the 1920's, colored/partially colored bottles, some which were Coke bottles from the 20's, others were old pharmaceutical bottles, buttons, belt buckles, etc. I was kind of shocked when he quoted me prices on some of these things because I was thinking who's going to buy old dog tags issued by the city? How about $20 MINIMUM? Which shows people will collect any and everything. Thanks for the video.
@Old, bald fat man. That lady was really fortunate! it's the second best I've heard of. The best was a couple in Northern California walking on their large property with thei dog after a recent heavy rain. The wife (I think) saw something glimmering in the sun, which turned out to be a large coffee can which was filled with gold coins. There was a second can found as well, I believe. There were so many, that when they were sold or auctioned, the couple ended up with $10 million!
Nice job unbelievable nothing like finding a gold coin I found the eagle in my avatar I was shocked!!!
I’d get a PI detector and go over that whole area!
WoW x 4 = Great Finds John ! ! ! ! GL&HH
That is friggin awesome congratulations. Still yet find one but they ring up the same as our 50/50 silver sixpence so here's hoping one day.
