WINNER #1
My Favorite International find for May 2012 is the Gold Guinea 1775 George III coin. Carl G. from Whitchurch, Shropshire, UK, was searching a very small field with his Garrett Ace 150. It was raining, yet he read that that wet ground gives better conductivity than when dry.
Carl shares his excitement. “I got an iffy signal and dug. Well what I saw made my eyes light up. It was still in the ground, but knew straight away it looked gold. I got my camcorder out and gently took the coin out of the ground. It glistened in the daylight. It was my first gold coin, my first gold anything! I was gob smacked...it turned out to be a Gold Guinea from 1775 George III. It couldn’t wait to go home and tell the wife, or anyone else that would listen!!! Thanks Garrett, you made my day.”
Congratulations Carl on your first gold discovery! Thanks for sharing your story.
