I guess my accidentally putting a ding in my proof 1970-S small date Lincoln cent doesn't really compare to the Stella story. I am having a hard time getting my mind around that.

Anyone know of any good detectors that
A) Filter out everything but gold and mostly importantly Can detect stuff up to 100 feet underground?

What you need here is a Stella detector. It wouldn't be all that expensive either. You could just go to the store and ask for a "four dollar detector."

Well, there used to be an 1849-O Double Eagle, but I don't want to talk about it........

Tell us about the 49-o, Tom. Please, please, please!!!
PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows. I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
In my metal detecting days, I gouged a 1906 D dime that looked like it was lost in 1906. The coin was underneath tree roots in Denver's City Park and I got impatient trying to get it out resulting in a big gouge on the reverse of a coin that was otherwise perfect.
"Uncirculated" 1906 D dime accidently damaged by me,the nicest condition Barber coin I ever found.

I threw away a PROOF-65 $4 Stella..

More likely it was stolen by your (16 year old son) and you just assumed that you through it in the trash.
