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

Ink the Banner is a great hard to get find, with a Gold Coin being a Holy Grail type of find always. There is a tab to nominate for the banner, if it makes the banner it goes at the top of the page. Somewhere must be rules here.

Someone was like what the heck did I do with my dollar lol If only we could go back in time to see who dropped what we find. poor guy didn't get his couple bottles of whisky that day.

Wow what a beauty, congrats!! Looks like a pretty great spot you have there. The bullet casing looks like a spencer carbine, I just dug one today at a civil war camp. Congrats again!

Great finds, awesome coins/relics. I'm really liking Lincolns head, very unique.
