While heading out this morning to the Field of Dreams to meet up with Greylock, I knew it was going to be difficult to top last weekends Charles I Hammered Silver Penny, but I was hoping my good luck would continue. I got to the fields a little after sunrise. Hunting was slow for a while, a musket ball here, a broken Crotal bell there, until Greylock and I headed into an area of cut corn that I haven't ever spent a lot of time in. As I approached a high point in the field, I heard a strange low scratchy signal on my XP Deus. As I kicked the corn husks aside, I saw something shiny and round. This wasn't the shine of silver, it was the shine of GOLD! Looking right up at me from its resting place on top of the dirt was my FIRST GOLD COIN! I couldn't believe it. I called Greylock over to see and tried to get BrokenKnee's (who had just pulled in) attention. I didn't find much the rest of the day, but I was PUMPED. I did manage a couple Indian Cents, and a 1870's German 10 Pfenning. I never expected to find a gold coin in a farm field. Maybe I didn't surpass my hammered silver, but I think I equalled it! I can't wait to see what's next to be found in the "Field of Dreams."

The coin is a 1874 Gold $1.

Man awesome find !!!!!:thumbsup:
 

Beautiful!! :hello2: Congrats on a spectacular gold coin. :thumbsup: Banner, too!

Regarding what Rick asked about your site, do you hunt the whole 2,300 acres or just where there was human habitation? I hunt fields and tend to concentrate on the areas where I know homes once sat. The signals peter out from there, so I don't usually cover the whole acreage. :dontknow:

The whole place gets hunted.
 

Man, its EVERY TH-er's DREAM, to find a GOLD coin!!
Good job!:icon_thumright:
 

Lots of great coins and other relics or artifacts are plowed up or come up during the frost when the ground freezes and thaws.
Looks like a great graded coin and congratulations are in order. I pray that I am blessed to find such a coin some day, but you got to swing that coil and keep your eyes open. Is that the Princess dollar gold coin?
