It's a 1911 quarter Eagle, an 1804 plain 4 stemless half cent, and two more of those buttons - but these buttons have patterns. The first one I found didn't have a pattern. Also found 2 buckles, some clad, and a 1940s wheat cent.

By any chance is that 1911 quarter eagle a D mint mark? A 1911 D is an OMG coin. I know, I had one, and sold it for enough I almost had a heart attack.

Not what I expected, actually. When I tested my and a friend's wedding bands a few months ago, they came in a solid 53. This was a consistent, persistent 59-60. I had just decided to dig every repeatable signal after my last hunt gave up the KGIII, and I'm glad I did!

Thanks for the banner votes!

That's one heck of a hunt! Congrats on the great finds. Looks like that gold coin will be on the banner soon (knocking my CT Copper off the right edge :laughing7:)! Gonna be tough to find a site better than that one!

Those are BANNER finds all day long - DB coins in that condition are nearly a banner find by themselves - throw in the quarter eagle ,
and this is a no brainer ! Outstanding saves !!!

It's like the yard where I found that CT Copper--it gave up a lot of nice finds and it's frustrating now to get out and not find good stuff on each hunt :laughing7:. I'm sure you'll find other great spots to hunt as well (plus this one seems like it's still producing).

seeing how excited I get when I pull a wheatie out of the ground, I think I really would have had a heart attack! Amazing finds hard to beleive that there is still gold coins popping up like this. So did you dig the 2.50 coin first? I could see it now ahh just another draped half cent this areas is to trashy lol.
