A little bit of snow on the ground didn't keep me from finding the Number 1 item on my bucket list, a gold coin! I never thought I would find one! It was a great day metal detecting! Besides the 1853 $1 Gold Coin I also found a 1905 Indian Head Penny, 1956 Wheatie, 1 flat button, Bronze Bicenntenial Commerative Coin

Great Awesome Find :notworthy:
 

Great job! I wouldn't worry about what others say about scratching the coin when you rubbed it off to see what it was. If I had money to bet on it, I would say it was scratched quite a bit when the fella or gal dropped it many years ago. They were probably in awe like you were rubbing the B-Jesus out of it. I hardly think anything that comes out of the ground is going to be mint anyway. I would never get rid of it anyway. To me it would be more like a trophy! Congratulations! :icon_thumright:
 

Thank You! Banner is a 1st for me!
 

Ok I just sprinkle you with gold coin luck! Now go and get yours! Best Wishes & HH!!

Thank God this year we never got more than a dusting & temps have been up & down not giving the ground a chance to freeze.

You and I think alike, the only time I get mad is when I nick a silver coin which I only did once and learned my lesson.
 

Congratulations! That must have warmed your heart (cause everything else looks frozen :-)!
 

Awesome find of a lifetime.:icon_thumright:
