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!!!

ANOTHER one shows up! Incredible coin Toast! Look at thing shine! You’d better frame that puppy QUICK and put it above the fireplace,that’s one for the ages! And,of course....you’d better have a REAL good look in that place for awhile!
That gets me pretty damn pumped,seeing stuff like that is being found. It gives me ALOT of hope!

Big congrats Toasty!

That is the holy grail of metal detecting IMHO. I can’t even imagine how thrilled you must be with that find. Very well done.

Hope the pomander stays as your avatar. I really like it.

I would wish you good luck, but you found a gold coin today, so it doesn’t seem like you need it.

Holy cow. Great find. If I found that, you all wouldn't hear about it for a few days. That how long it would take me to regain consciousness.
