Fisher F2 Finds 1855 Ten Dollar Gold Eagle
Published by Eric R. on 02/21/16
I bought my Fisher F2 a couple of weeks ago from Kellyco and couldn't be more happy with it. It paid for itself in the first three hunts with tons of clad, 2 silver rings,a silver charm and a 8.57gram 10k gold bracelet.So I knew it was time to hit some older locations for older finds. I do a little research and find a spot. On Tuesday I only hit it for a couple of hours and right away I knew I was coming back. I go home with 2 1919 wheaties, a 1962 rosy and thoughts of what I might find on my next trip. Two days later I'm back in the same spot and run into another metal detector. He says he and his buddies have been working it over pretty good but he still thinks there is a lot still left and he was right. About 2 hours in and a couple wheaties later I got a steady 62 at only 1 inch. I'm thirsty and starting to get hot so I walk around it a couple of times and think it's only a penny. I get ready to walk to the truck and not dig it but it never weighing off 62 bothers me . I dig in haphazardly and flip the "penny" out of the hole. I look over at it and thankfully I'm glad I dug it because it's my first "sacajawea dollar". In no hurry I pick it up and give it one wipe and right away I know it's no sacajawea.
Right about now is when i start shaking on the front i read 1855 and when i flip it over low and behold it says it TEN D. I thought i was going to have a heart attack right there. Well it just goes to show there is still treasure even in a worked over place. Just move slow and don't be afraid to rework an area after someone else or yourself Happy Hunting Found By Eric Richardson On March 1,2012 Atlanta Ga.
