@@jerryparks6123 close up you can see it circulated plenty, just the camera made it look mint, its in good condition for sure , but it went around a few times before lost. thanks for watching !
Every detector geek's dream! That $5 gold piece was at least a weeks salary or more back then so it must have been a huge loss for someone. Congratulations! Thanks Bro! DaveyJO
I know it's an older video but congrats on the gold coin man. Just goes to show you don't need a $1000 detector to find a $1000 coin. I haven't found a gold coin yet, but I am still hunting.
I think a gold coin is on every detectors bucket list, including mine. I've been detecting for 15 + years and my best coin find is a 1958 Ben Franklin half dollar.
Congrats on your first gold coin. One is still on my bucket list since 1967. You were calmer than I would have been or maybe I would be in disbelief also. Go back and find more.
Amazing! $400 coin...get case for it. I am extremely happy when I find a Draped Bust. Never found a gold coin in 6 years of hunting. Outstanding mate!! Stack your wheaties, there will come a day when they won't make them anymore. You got a new stub from me brother. You need a pin pointer and spray bottle. Fingers destroy coins. Your casted lead piece is a slingshot bolt.
M dlanor yeah that’s like almost losing $150 bucks and plus in 1933’ the government took away everyone’s gold coins, so it’s rare to find old US gold coins around.
That's what I was thinking. Its gotta be pretty damn rare to find a lost gold coin, I think you'd have a better chance finding a purposefully hidden stash.
Congrats - I am a coin collector and your piece is rather common (1903 - Philadelphia mint) but still worth around $480 after it has been graded and slabbed by either NGC or PCGS.
38-55 is a rifle cartridge, .38 inch diameter and 55 grains of powder, Gold doesn't tarnish when under ground or water. Gold coins pulled out of the ocean after 150 years are still shiny as new.
Ok I looked it up a Five dollar US gold coin has 0.24187 ounces of gold in it. So multiple 0.24187 times the gold price $1885 = 789.24 dollars of gold. BUT I looked up prefect condition MS-64+ condition on the APMEX is selling for $3,067.71 Never rub a gold coin, scratches can drop back down to gold value. Plain lucky to live where you live. But Dedication of hobby pays off. Many places where there is not much to find. Great find.
According to NGCOIN, that's worth $316 of gold when melted. In an auction, depending on the grade (and this one looks pretty pristine), it may vary from $420 to $15,750.
been detecting for 8 years now. gone to every kinda place you can think of from my own yard to public fairgrounds to private permissions and public sports complexes to super old homestead sites found deep in the woods. 8 years 3 or 4 times a week. Never found a single piece of gold and only found 2 silver quarters and six silver dimes! In 8 years and hundreds upon hundreds of hours spent searching. Best find ever...a religious medallion made of sterling....valued at $16. Just amazing watching these guys who are obviously no better or knowledgeable than myself finding real treasures all over this country including my own local area. Just amazing that a guy should be just simply born under a black cloud and have no luck of any kind other than bad!
WHAAAAAAAT. Did you say you found round in the ground AND it was silver. Happy things are in the moment. Your legend awaits you, Quest for YOUR details. I'm happy my detector detects. G. B
I don't believe this gold story either, but damm, you have hunted this long and that is all the silver you have found? When I hunt in the spring and summer I will average a couple silvers a week.
Don't worry about scratching it, it's been buried for a while. And everyone saying "oh no wah wah wah he scwatched it" no one cares, he found a gold half eagle and it's still a half eagle that's been buried so it was probably scratched to shit already. Those clean gold civil war coins you find in shops were most likely never underground, they were in private collections and hardly touched and still a lot of them don't grade too high. So it seems like everyone thinks your buried coin will somehow grade very high before you rubbed the dirt off, which wouldn't be very likely because it was buried and most likely scratched upon it's initial fall into the ground. And another reminder everybody, the coin was underground. Anyway aside from the coin already being beat to shit, I'm sure this feller would not sell this either way and a price difference of a couple hundred wouldn't be worth it either way. Now if this were a truly valuable coin like in the hundred thousand price range then maybe handle it a little better but half eagles can be found at most coin shops and not for a ridiculous amount of money.
Welcome to the Gold coin club 2+ years late bro! I have been a member since 2019!!! :{D I found a 2.5 peso 1944 in a heavy bezel w/ sadly minor mower hit useing my 3 rd AT-Pro came in at solid 52 on the VDI display solid mid tone very sweet sound thought for sure it was a beefy gold ring.
Dude a couple were walking their dog and stumbled upon a rusty old can filled with gold coins. They took it to a dealer stayed anonymous and the coffee can full of coins were valued @$10 million! They were buried in a metal coffee can that wasn’t smart. What a score man
One can occasionally find quarters painted red with fingernail polish. The reason is that back in the day companies operated jukeboxes in bars and resturants, and the owner would get a share of the take. The representatives who serviced the machines knew that if the jukebox was playing, customers would keep it playing once it ran out, so they made deals with the waitstaff that if they played the jukebox, they could have their quarters back. The waitresses would paint the quarters so they could tell how much they got back. Also, its cool to find GOLD!!!
Hey Bro, I can't believe you didn't quite know what that was. I would have had a heart attack if I found that and then I wouldn't have been around to enjoy my find! Congrats!
Awesome video I love it guys keep the good job you might maybe try even the underwater metal detecting unbelievable findings. I do it all the time unbelievable what you can find
There are 2 types of the 1903. One has no mint mark and only 227,024 were made and the S mint mark had 1,855,000 made. You made a great find and may you never lose the that kind of luck.
I have 2 1921 $20 dollars gold coins I found in a wall in a jar of coins while doing renovations for a friend. I asked him if he wanted the jar of coins and he told me I could have them. I discovered the coins while going through the jar and came up with a lot of silver from the late 1800's.
Oddly enough, both are hold the same value! 90% silver was minted until 1964 btw- At any rate that is a great find man!!! Love the excitement! Enjoyed it with you!
Damn, I need to start metal detecting. I always keep my eyes to the ground for neat looking rocks, and because of that, the best things I found were a 100$ bill and a 22k gold lizard pin. Imagine what's just under the surface.
RIGHT!!!👍 BUT SHE WASN'T SORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE LAUGHED ABOUT IT AFTER WORDS. SHE DID IT ON PROPERLY AN SHE WAS TOLD RIGHT AWAY NOT TO DO IT! SO DISRESPECTFUL!!!
i got a dfx whites with deep scan eclipse dd i could sift the ground clean with it in that area if you going to find nice stuff get one of them look in coin/jewerly mode if not programs specifically made for your own use. Or get a spectrum sure they are expensive but nothing can get pass them. If you learn how to use them i found some awesome stuff with my dfx. i got a mode set on mine goes 2 feet down everything maxed works great i could learn it to pick up that $5.00 gold coin you had if others were lost thats all it would pick up dont waste money on cheap detectors.
I really hope you kept that. You handled it well. If you kept it go to your most trusted local coin shop and send it in to NGC or PCGS to get graded. Today in mint state that's worth alot
The gold coin he found is 90% gold 10% copper and the lowest price people are selling it is $400 but there is some up to $8000 but if he waits 20 years this coin could be well worth over $20000. Just a cool coin I’d love to find one of these
Nobody what have no reason to lie i just upgraded today and gonna find more you have no idea what i found at least 2k in gold and a lot of silver gl troll
John, the 73 year old who buried these 40 years ago was just on his way to dig up his life savings to to keep the gas on in his little house. Little did he know that somebody pinched the horde 5 minutes before he arrived.
Very good my friend awesome fine see you don't need a detector that's worth 8 $900 from the sound of the machine sounds like a bounty hunter I got a track A4 and I found a gold ring with it so my machine paid for itself and then some it's a beautiful feeling when you struck home keep up the good work and I'll keep watching
I found an 1847 gold 2.5 dollar coin when I was 12 with my metal detector. Best thing I ever found.
@shrek 1 I had a cheap bounty hunter as a kid but I believe that time I was using my father's Garrett.
After 36 years I am still waiting and dreaming of finding a gold coin. Fun to watch!
I looove how pristine gold looks even straight out of the ground!!
Yeah but it's definitely not mint condition, uncirculated at best!

This video gave my heart a rise when he saw that glimpse of gold. I was so happy with him!!!!
Good😍
Good for you on detecting the Gold Coin. Not many people had $5.00 in 1903. Anyone that did have Gold Coins would rarely lose them.
M dlanor yeah that’s like almost losing $150 bucks and plus in 1933’ the government took away everyone’s gold coins, so it’s rare to find old US gold coins around.
That's like a 350 plus dollars coin

The case shown at 15:54 was a .38 WCF, or 38 caliber (.38 inch) Winchester Center Fire, mfd. by WRA - Winchester Repeating Arms.
Congratulations my friend!!! Oh my GOLD 👏👏👏👍👍👍

I found a large 1947 gold class ring years ago on my old school grounds and I was amazed how shiny and yellow that thing was when I dug it.
Now that’s the find of a lifetime. Congratulations.

At last, a genuine caught on camera find instead of those planted one's I see so often.
If you like caught on camera finds, check out the Hoover boys and Ed the beach hunter. They have found some great stuff.
Fantastic!!!! Nice!!!!
I DROPED THAT LAST WEEK, THANKS FOR FINDING IT FOR ME. I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
thank you ! I'll Never Top This One I think. Thanks for watching !
Well done dude~ well done! A single find and you shot to the top of the ranks in this hobby! Fun!
Thanks so much, I Feel very lucky, and still amazed !Thanks For Watching !

Its a fishing line weight. That looks like fun . Thanks for sharing 👍✌️😎👌
Stunning coin. Massive congratulations on the find 😍
That is a real solid gold coin
He instantly regretted swiping his thumb across that coin lol great find
and regretted it several million time after ,thanks for watching !
Great finds! Of course I love the gold coin! And jealous!
Awesome find! I just found my first gold coin last month, something you'll never forget. Congratulations!
im on the fence of buying a metal detector
@@EltonL how much?
!!!??? A good one is around 300-350 I’ve read. Will find a penny 7 ft in the ground
Very nice congratulations 👍🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations my friend! That's why WE do what WE do! Good for you!👍👍👍
That's what I look for while metal detecting. Congradulation
Man, that is a beautiful Gold Coin.
Nice work
I can't believe he didn't know what it was, lol. Great find
Samuel James and he wiped the gold with his fingers 😬
Nothing like finding a free $360 $5 gold coin, nice find!
People hunts for years and years and never find a gold coin. Huge Congrats
Very nice. It's out there...
Real gold. And yes they come out of the ground clean like that, just like silver.
Bull shit they do.
@@gerryetheridge7480 ummm pure gold and silver can't corroded -- so it normal it come out clean :)

Hey Bro, I can't believe you didn't quite know what that was. I would have had a heart attack if I found that and then I wouldn't have been around to enjoy my find! Congrats!
Now that is one hell of a find!!!
What a video wickedly cool
Awesome video I love it guys keep the good job you might maybe try even the underwater metal detecting unbelievable findings. I do it all the time unbelievable what you can find
Nice video !
Dream coin. Most never find one. Id be dancing a jig. I knew what it was immediately. Great condition.
That gold coin is incredible, huge congrats man
All you ppl surprised about how gold looks coming out of the ground . That's how you instantly know it's real. Silver almost the same thing.
Just keep on looking

When folks find those they are in great condition since it wasnt pocket change, it was more like a paycheck!! Nice find for sure.
Woooooow 😀🏆👍👍👍👍My congratulations👍👍👍
I want one of those!!!!!! Excellent find my friend!
What detector are you using?
$5 liberty head depending on condition "full liberty" on the head band worth as a coin prolly $650 awesome find!
Guaooo esta bonita y es original
Wherever there's one there must be more there's definitely more around that's one nice find!
Wich metal detector are u using?
It lived all those years in the dirt looking mint then you go and scratch it up
So happy for you and your family! Congratulations Nate!
i think the best part is he found it with a bounty hunter detector not a 1000 dollar equinox , not 500 dollar at pro
The reverse of that coin is one of the most beautiful . The eagle is a nice design. Walking liberty half dollar is the #1 reverse in my opinion.
