Finally got out. Antebellum Gold, Dragoon Gold, and more Old Coins and Relics!!!

[Isaac]

Killer hunt at a property I got permission for back in the winter time and finally had the chance to go back today. Spent about 5 hours there. Most of the property was inaccessible due to 2 foot tall grass but the mowed section and dead patches produced a TON. This place has got tons of history to it. First I got a colonial saddle strap guide, then a button back. I started going slower and started gridding this small mowed section. Coins began to fly out of the ground! I first dug a 1904 Indian Head and then a few feet away dug a shield nickel with rays; then, out from the same hole, I dug an 1857 Flying Eagle! My third flying eagle cent for the year. After that a gorgeous 1817 Matron large cent showed itself. It seems these are harder to come by south of the Mason Dixson than in the north. Then I got two silver dimes back to back, 1920 merc and a 1911 barber. Close by I also dug another Indian, 1885. After that the coin finds subsided and the relics started coming. I moved to another area of the property and the buttons began to surface. In the midst of the buttons I found a Minnie ball, a barrel tap (my first!) and a BEAUTIFUL gold ring. Lucas (PACIVILWARLUKE) and I concluded it probably dates before the Civil War, it's got two large diamonds and not a single marking inside - further showing its age. The shells or roses on the sides are awesome too. After that I found a candle snuffer part and some other odd brass pieces. Before i left, I decided to hunt a portion of the over grown area to see if there was any targets. I got a nice signal and out popped my first lettered Civil War button ever, and it's a nice one. Eagle D with 100% gold guilt and a perfect shank! What an awesome day!!! Not bad for a 5 hour hunt!!!

Great haul!

 

[cologneman]

Great work! Multiple top finds in one hunt, awesome! You should think about cutting that tall grass, who knows what's in there.

 

[Carolina Tom]

Crazy good! Congrats on all of the nice finds.

I have no words for how much I simply hate you right now. Incredible hunt and finds. More keepers than I have found in my life. Incredible ring too, just beautiful. In spite of my intense jealousy, warm congratulations to you sir!

 

[Tommy G]

All of that in 5 hours! Man, you must have been a digging machine! Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

 

[ARC]

Great spot... would return ASAP... and talk lightly about it amongst any local yokel Mdr's.

Well done.

 

[testing123]

what a great group of finds! Can't stop drooling. That gold is gorgeous!

 

[GaRebel1861]

Dang! What a day!

 

[Loco-Digger]

Heck the way that permission is producing, I'd be half tempted to mow it (with the owners equipment and gas of course). I know where you'll be spending much of your time. You dug 5 hunts worth of keepers in 5 hours. WTG Isaac
