Out today with a mate, not expecting much till this little beauty turned up. 6400 Reis of King Josephus of Portugal 1755. Minted in Brazil. Large coin of 3cms and weighs over 0.4 Troy ounces. It looks silver in the pics but i assure you that it is gold.

BONES ...

I think we are both on a high BONES, i don't think anybody would expect anything less lol.

Is this a joke?! Two gold coins found in one day! I feel like Allen Funt is going to jump out with a camera, lol. You found this today, Steve? That is an AMAZING find What was the mintage on something like that? I'm going to look in my red book, though I highly doubt it's in there.

Depth, VDI, etc. please? You can't simply post a gold coin...from the 1700's no less...and be so nonchalant about it. We want details!!!

And yes, that's going on the banner too! Congrats

Joe

you would be kinda nonchalant about it. but for a first GOLD, i would think you would be pacing the house with a grin from ear to ear like me ...

Sorry Joe. On pasture, 9 inches down. Using Deus, reading 96 which i thought was deep iron. Programme 2 GM power with tracking. Minted in Brazil hence the R over the date. If there wasn't a letter over the date then it was minted in Portugal

Don't get me wrong BONES, i'm just a bit laid back. What with a gold ring last Thursday and a gold coin this Thursday i think i'm on a roll. Loving it lol.

i dream of it, but never ever expected it ...
