WINNER #1
My favorite find for April 2014 is the 1759 King George II Gold Coin, found by Kenneth C. from Shepherdsville, KY.
Kenneth shares some good background. "We have a site on my grandparents acres that was a hot spot in colonial times for the salt production. My great grandfather always talked about how something stood there at one time, so I went and bought me an ACE 250. After months of excitement the ground kept giving, which sparked an intrest of history in me. I'd take buttons and other period items into my history class for a presentation on what they wore at the time and local history."
Kenneth shares a great discovery. "After a long hunt thinking I had the site cleaned out I found this beautiful coin. A King George 2nd guinea from 1759, not thinking I'd ever get something so amazing and so beautiful, something so high on my wish list as colonial gold! I dropped to my knees there, even a tear came, running back to the house to show my grandfather who met me with a handshake, and a congratulations. It's never made me more happy in my life and that's why I'm happy to share it with you."
