1853 $1 GOLD!! Holed, Scratchy, Slightly Bent But I'll Take It!
Hey all,
after 30+ yrs detecting now - dug my 2nd Gold coin in the last 9 yrs
Went back to my trusty Brothel site tonight for a 2 hr hunt. Was checking on a few other sites out that way to see if I could get into any of them but they're not ready yet so I opted for the backup and boy am I glad I did!
Last time out I used the CTX 3030 when I found the Seated dime and 1865 Indian head
this time was the Deus's turn
found in a mix of machine gun iron - was reading like complete junk (#s jumpin from 29 to 36) and sounded like tin crap but being where I was = "dig"!!
(you can tell it was punched with a nail or the like - not "drilled")
Also worth mention:
1867 Injun in VF/XF cond. (full Liberty and nice)
1865 cruddy 2 cent piece
Huge Rimfire cartridge of some type - looks like whatever lead was in it could take down a buffalo!
Found Abe Lincoln too
Pictures tell the rest of the story... (Enjoy) and thanks for reading/lookin

I just remember in the movie "the Unforgiven" the brothel owner said the girls had to "turn a dollar a time" Your inidan is a beaut too! congrats on all those goodies!...what a killer spot you uncovered there! Congratulations! Gold coins don't turn up very often especially in Michigan...would love to see a pic of your other one.
Banner for sure
