My first gold coin, and it only took 22 years………

I just spent a couple of days trudging around an old Air Force friends property south of Greenville, SC. It’s always produced some good finds. Last week I stopped by on my way home from a trip, and he gave me an arrowhead he found about 10 feet from where I was digging last time I was there. I took a couple of days off to look for arrowheads, but still took my Eagle II with me. After a day of arrowhead hunting, I had a couple of nice ones and a pocket full of pieces. Yesterday I started out looking for arrowheads, and then started swinging the detector around 10am. Even though the temperature was 90°+, I trudged on, and am glad I did. After 22+ years of treasure hunting, my first gold coin!!

An 1854 $1 piece. It’s beat up, bent, dented, scratched and has seen better days, but it’s still a beauty to me!! The 1853 Quarter looks like it had been in a fire.

Wow! Major congrats to you, sir! Did you find it with the MXT? If so, what kind of VDI were you getting?

Also congrats on the other items. That's a very nice haul.

Thanks for sharing and if I were you, I'd be back out there today!

Congrats on the Gold coin and the seated quarter. Nice shoe buckle frame as well. The dog piece looks like an old watch fob with the slot broken off.

Congrats

Those are some nice finds. I've been hunting 22 yrs also and have yet to find a gold coin after recovering 10s of thousands of old coins. It's like they never carried them. One day it will show

Great Find Jon. Glad to see Greenville County giving up the Gold. Same County but No Gold for me. Congratulations.

That would have been a great hunt without the gold coin, but with that, you blew it out of the water! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

I always wonder why more of these little beauties are not found, they are sure small enough to lose through a tiny hole in the pocket. And the denomination is small enough that change could be easily give back for a purchase. Or was it that people in the east did not carry them much?
