1853 $1 GOLD!! Holed, Scratchy, Slightly Bent But I'll Take It!

Hey all,

after 30+ yrs detecting now - dug my 2nd Gold coin in the last 9 yrs

Went back to my trusty Brothel site that I've been working since last fall tonight for a 2 hr hunt. Was checking on a few other sites out that way to see if I could get into any of them but they're not ready yet so I opted for the backup and boy am I glad I did!

Last time out I used the CTX 3030 when I found the Seated dime and 1865 Indian head

this time was the Deus's turn

found in a mix of machine gun iron - was reading like complete junk (#s jumpin from 29 to 36) and sounded like tin crap but being where I was = "dig"!!
(you can tell it was punched with a nail or the like - not "drilled")

Also worth mention:

1867 Injun in VF/XF cond. (full Liberty and nice)
1865 cruddy 2 cent piece

Huge Rimfire cartridge of some type - looks like whatever lead was in it could take down a buffalo!
Found Abe Lincoln too

Pictures tell the rest of the story... (Enjoy) and thanks for reading/lookin

Looks like a Banner find to me! You've got my vote. Nice job on the 2-center and other relics as well.

Great finds! The twoo cent and the beautiful 1867 IHC would have made a pretty good hunt. Love the Lincoln head. Congrats on the gold!

 

[K1DDO1979]

Great find(s)! Makes me want to find one even more. You said it was a bouncy signal? Roughly how deep was it?

 

[romeo-1]

Sweet...nothing wrong with that!!

 

[coinman123]

Banner for sure, congrats on the gold coin! Good thing you were digging everything, if you were only digging the beautiful high or nice tones you would have never found that!

 

[terpfan]

Heck, I'm voting for banner BECAUSE of the hole. I don't recall seeing a holed gold coin posted before. Talk about character. There must be quite a story there somewhere.

Might be a bit weird but I think if I ever find a gold coin, I'd like it to have a hole, just makes it more special in my mind that somebody went to the effort to keep it close.
Fantastic find, congrats.
