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!!!

Thanks for the vote. Best thing Ive found since my pomander in August 2015 and Ive found a lot of cool stuff since then
 

Incredible! It will be very difficult to top that.
 

I was wondering why this little beauty isn't up on the banner , then i realized i hadn't voted for it till right now - hope you make it up top ! Amazing little gem of a find !!!
 

Way to go with the gold coinage. And the dirty dirty shot looks excellent. Congrats on the big find

Thanks. I should have included the pics from the site in my initial post but it wont let you edit after awhile. Trying to quell naysayers and doubters, if any, because Ill be the first to admit I was one until gold coinage was in one of MY plugs
 

Excellent recovery. Congratulations. Sure do get a fast heartbeat when you see a gold coin like that and hope to experience this one day myself.
 

Amazing find toasted!! Instances like this keeps the hope alive for those who are still searching.
 

congrats on banner
