    Started this hobby in 1973? I was still in High School. I bought my first Garrett TR metal detector around 1973. Great find! Still on my bucket list.

    though I had some problem with sea water It also th-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    Incredible gold piece. You must have a really good site there, that's probably never been hunted or was hunted by terrible metal detectors back when. Rarely do I ever see anyone dig pre-1930's coinage out of the water unless it was a recent dropped wheat cent or something along those lines.
    Good job on containing yourself MOSTLY throughout the video. I probably would have spit out my mouthpiece when I saw a seated, attempted to scream out loud, but realistically gulped in a ton of sea water and died. LOL.
    I think you're right with the marks on the reverse. Probably part of an old pin of some sorts. A LOT of gold pieces you see nowadays, especially on eBay too, are damaged due to people during the 1800's taking them and making all sorts of jewelry pieces out of them and giving them to their spouse, girlfriend, etc.

    Great find. Not sure I could do diving, I'd always be looking over my shoulder or peering into the dark recesses just waiting for that shark to appear... love sharks but hate them with a passion. Mate of mine did some dives in Sydney harbor near the old quarantine station. He's found heaps of items from the early 1800's as alot of ships threw items overboard if they had sickness on board....eg sliver cultery, cups etc.
