🥇 BANNER 1852 1 Dollar Gold coin

[relichound]

Wow! Is all I can say. Was invited back
by my generous host to hunt the Pa farm once again before farmer plants crops. We speculate this area was once part of the Gettysburg campaign 1863 with all Federal and Confederate buttons and plates that we have all dug. No Reb buttons or plates today but my Nox 800 did sniff out a solid lock on 12 signal at about 4-5 inches in depth. After careful pinpointing and popping the plug I thought for sure I had a Jefferson nickel !�� Boy was i pleasantly surprised to be looking at a small gold colored coin with a number 1 on the reverse. It wasn’t until I put it in my hand did I fully realize what I had just recovered- my first ever gold coin-1852 1 Dollar gold coin. I thought I would never dig a gold coin in a thousand lifetimes. The good Lord I give all the glory and thanks ���� for allowing me to dig such a coveted piece of gold coin history. Happy hunting .

Yeah, I saw that huge jerky beef stick being wolfed down, about 3 hours after you found the coin! (And I didn't get one, jerky that is.)

Get anything near where we parked the cars? ( I had left by then.)

So, you are staring down at the small coin in your hand and it begins to soak in what you have just found, the blessing of blessings for us, a GOLD COIN! The often dreamed about but rarely seen thing that all deep down hope to find. A real heart stopper and heart racer as you check to make sure that it is for real. And you probably still look to make sure that it is for real and that it is yours. BANNER ALL THE WAY and Congrats

Ultra fantastic find! Probably came out of a civil war soldiers pocket, makes it even better!

There really is only two small windows for finding a gold dollar. They were popular in the early 1850s and later among Civil War soldiers as well. Most seem to come from Civil War sites
