🥇 BANNER 1859D GOLD $1 Woop!

[Nana40]

Here ya go, Quindy and Judie.
So yesterday after the storms, my buddies and I went out for a hunt. Seems summer is finally coming to an end and we're ready! The temps were perfect and the soil was as soft as sweet potato pie. Tin foil, nails and 22 shells...make sure and dig 'em. About an hour into our hunt and after digging many of the previous mentioned, I got another low reading on my MXT with a loud tone. Four inches down under the roots of a cedar tree. I dig the hole and see a tiny gold looking, round something or other. My first thought was play money? Nah, not here. Then how about a foreign coin of some sort? Nah..I don't think so. I turn it over and see 1 Dollar. What! No way. I jump up and run to where my buddies are. We look it over, see the date and we all are in shock as to what it is. Oh happy day! That coin waited 155 years for me to find it. I have to wonder who lost such a beautiful coin. Wonder if there's another? lol
D ain't for Denver. Only 4,952 minted and I got one! Woop! I'ma happy gal.

Oh Nana, Oh Nana Banner, Oh Nana Banner......Many search for gold, but few find it. Congratulations. I've been trying to get out and do some dirt fishing after the rain last week, but one thing or another have kept me from it. This is just extra motivation. I wouldn't know about the mint in Dahlonega if not for this hobby and the only thing better would be a Templeton Reid dollar or 5 or 10 dollar coin. You certainly deserve banner for this find.
