Title: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: The Ferret on November 30, 2017, 06:36:12 PM Thought I'd share this George III Guinea in FV to EF condition it's amazing that the ploughs not even touched it after all these years..
Found with the XP Deus V4 ;) (http://www.somersetmetaldetecting.co.uk/uploads/9/0/7/9/9079683/20170909-142723_orig.jpg) (http://www.somersetmetaldetecting.co.uk/uploads/9/0/7/9/9079683/20170909-142713_orig.jpg) (http://www.somersetmetaldetecting.co.uk/uploads/9/0/7/9/9079683/p1050099_orig.jpg) (http://www.somersetmetaldetecting.co.uk/uploads/9/0/7/9/9079683/p1050098_orig.jpg) (http://www.somersetmetaldetecting.co.uk/uploads/9/0/7/9/9079683/p1050100_orig.jpg) Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: Bling (mark) on November 30, 2017, 07:17:49 PM That's what I call an early xmas present and no gloves hardcore.

Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: The Ferret on November 30, 2017, 07:25:12 PM That's what I call an early xmas present and no gloves hardcore. Using the new MI-6 Pin pointer I always locate the target before diving in... ;D Pictures look better with flesh in it ;DTitle: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: The Ferret on November 30, 2017, 07:28:24 PM Wow wow fairplay Long time coming but well worth the wait ::) Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: dingdong on November 30, 2017, 07:47:15 PM It's what we all dream of finding...and as it's been said"YOU'VE DONE IT"... congratulations,and may you find many more !!...good hunting..👍

Well done Neil Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: hotmill on December 01, 2017, 10:05:46 AM Fantastic! Well done!
Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: probono on December 01, 2017, 10:16:49 AM That's a cracker for a first gold find - I do like those earlier Geo III guineas.
Can you tell us more about your pinpointer? Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: wagis on December 01, 2017, 02:33:56 PM What a beautiful find there well done
Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: Greg on December 01, 2017, 04:34:33 PM Not only a gold coin but in fabulous condition, it hard enough to find hammered silver, I want to be positive but I have never been that lucky.
Good on you, that is something you will be showing other detectorists for years to come, turning them green. 🤢🤢🤢 Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: The Ferret on December 01, 2017, 04:54:23 PM That's a cracker for a first gold find - I do like those earlier Geo III guineas. Can you tell us more about your pinpointer? Not cheap but well built. I have been through 2 Garretts and a Minelab but this one feels like its gonna last I hope :) Had to use the recovery mode once and managed to locate it over 70 feet way on pasture so thats a good feature on it. Links to the Deus and heaphones which i like especially when its windy and its straight to your ears... Well worth writing to santa for ;D Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: kencomet on December 01, 2017, 08:24:40 PM Wow that's a great find, well done, Santa came early for me, took delivery yesterday of a MI-6, looks and feels very robust, just have to Marry it to the Deus, and get my head around all these new features,
Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: outlaw on December 02, 2017, 07:58:37 PM Well done great find ;D

Well worth writing to santa for ;D Well that would be me in my family :) - I've had three Garretts so far - two have failed, the last one is ok for the moment. Very useful, just wish they were more robust - so it would be interesting to see how the MI-6 holds up over time. My 12 year old told me this week he wishes I still had my Deus as he would then like detecting....... Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: wet feet again on December 03, 2017, 12:06:16 AM Well done now that is a keeper great find

Once paired to the Deus is fantastic. No noise to others on rallies too..... :-) Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: congerman on December 10, 2017, 09:15:55 PM stunning find well saved
Title: Re: First Gold Coin and it's a Belter Post by: SMELLYJELLY on December 17, 2017, 08:14:00 PM well done and well saved. excellent condition too. I know someone who recently found a half guinea but apart from the land owner, do you have to notify anybody by law of this as its a single coin find. He was told that he did but i think thats incorrect. Doesnt fall under the treasure act as it was a single coin and under 300 years old ? Again well done on the yellow :) :)
