🥇 BANNER I just found a $1 gold coin!

[toasted]

Well today was the day. I went back for an after work hunt to my newest field permission. I went back to the area where we had found some flat buttons on Saturday. Did not find a single flat button there today but Im still in disbelief of what I did find. Was finding some old junk when I got a bouncy low tone. I saw the reeded edge in the clod and at first thought gold plated clock gear or kids gold ring. Soon realized what I had and could not believe it. It was hard to focus after that but I did later find a KG III but who cares. I found a 1852 gold dollar!!!

Awesome to see a freshly dug gold coin my man. Truly happy for you! I know you beat the dirt hard in search of old pieces. That’s a great way to start a new season. I still love the pomander more as it’s such a beautifully made and unique relic but this baby certainly will be a centerpiece as well. Hope 18 continues to be great

Not so bad themselves Ammoman, better than a "copy", we can at least eat those. The 1$ gold coin? It would seem that the odds of winning a lottery would be better than finding such a "smaller than a dime" Gold coin. What a "moment in time" you had there toasted. So glad to see it.

 

[Trezurehunter]

Congrats on a great find ! Still looking for mine.

A find that will elude most of us- Congrats on a lifetime find! My banner vote is in..

I remember seeing movies where people would bite the gold coin to see if it was real. Do you think they were looking for chocolate? Grins...toasted, have you bitten the coin to see if it is real yet?
