What is youre absolute bucket list, one item to find?

[UnderMiner]

One of Napoleon's lost treasure wagons from his retreat from Moscow. I know it's a stretch, as there are so many thousands of tiny bodies of water out there that he could have hid them in, but that whole region is so sparsely populated and so few have actually tried that it's a likely possibility most of the treasure are still exactly where they were left.

Since I'm here on the Treasure Coast, my number one would be a 1715 Fleet coin.

1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar

I'm the opposite of Pepper. I have managed 3 Morgan silver dollars over the years. I can taste that gold coin.......it's out there somewhere screaming at me to dig it up.

I've got 2 gold coins, but not the big silver dollar. I never had the gold coin on the wish list really. I also want to find a open pontil scar bottle.

A gold coin would do it for me!

Any Confederate state belt buckle would make my day.

Slave tag

I second the slave tag. Our house was built by and first owner was a freed slave. I don´t expect to find one here though.
That´s definitely something they would leave behind down south. Lots of Indian head pennies here though.

Always wanted to dig up a pirate chest full of Gold...

 

[Cariboo5]

Porphyry Copper deposit on my mineral claims.....

 

[Trezurehunter]

For relics, a Railroad baggage tag ranks up there for me, and as for coins, any coin with a CC mint mark will also fill the bill.

Let's get real here folks. If we be dreaming dream big! All I require is 1000 person doses of Elixir of life in a 25K gold ( yes 25) ampoule .

You all know I don't ask for much, so I feel entitled now.

Now, that being a done deal I am taking offers on the other 999 doses.

 

[jewelerguy]

$20 gold piece would probably suit me fine

 

[AU Seeker]

I would like to find the right numbers to hit either the Powerball or Mega-Million lotteries, not really asking for much IMHO!

 

[godisnum1]

Monetary value aside, what would be your absolute dream find? Mine is Flying Eagle Cents, and have found a total of 3 in my lifetime.

Well, apart from finding gold coins (don't foresee that happening)... I guess mine would be a large Spanish 8 Reale (I already found a 1783 2 Reale) or any coin from the 1800's.

Ships bell, 1800s or earlier, preferably bronze, dated, and with a name !! Personal bucket lister I'm working on !!

I was a Shipwreck diver in New Jersey and New York for over 25 years.
I was there when the ships Bells were recovered from the Andrea Doria and the Durley Chine in the 1980's.

A Saint Gaudens (double eagle).

I'd go for something order than the Emperor Carus (282-283 AD) that I found, but that has less of a chance to happen than finding a Saint Gaudens $20 gold piece.

I'd go for something more valuable than the Brasher Doubloon (only 6 were made and the last went for 9 MILLION Dollars), NO>>>I did not find a gold one, but I did find a bronze one half the size of a real one. The thrill and history learned was worth millions to me.

There have been days when a penny, a bobby pin - any target would be a thrill. Just loving this hobby!
