1853 $1 GOLD!! Holed, Scratchy, Slightly Bent But I'll Take It!

Hey all,


after 30+ yrs detecting now - dug my 2nd Gold coin in the last 9 yrs

Went back to my trusty Brothel site tonight for a 2 hr hunt. Was checking on a few other sites out that way to see if I could get into any of them but they're not ready yet so I opted for the backup and boy am I glad I did!


Last time out I used the CTX 3030 when I found the Seated dime and 1865 Indian head


this time was the Deus's turn

found in a mix of machine gun iron - was reading like complete junk (#s jumpin from 29 to 36) and sounded like tin crap but being where I was = "dig"!!
(you can tell it was punched with a nail or the like - not "drilled")


Also worth mention:


1867 Injun in VF/XF cond. (full Liberty and nice)
1865 cruddy 2 cent piece

Huge Rimfire cartridge of some type - looks like whatever lead was in it could take down a buffalo!
Found Abe Lincoln too

Pictures tell the rest of the story... (Enjoy) and thanks for reading/lookin

Very nice finds... the gold coin just puts all of the other killer stuff to shame. Congrats on the find of a lifetime.
 

I'd take that !! Congrats on the super duper find !!
 

Dude if you haven't already post it on the main finds forum it should make banner
 

Damn nice haul bro!! Jeremy
 

Looks like the effort paid off in gold! Congrats on a very rare score, we don't often see that stuff in Michigan -
 

How cool is that. Everything looks from the same time period with not else mixed in. That is one sweet spot and a nice gold coin. I need a brothel to hunt!
Congrats.
 

WOWZA! KILLER find with that gold coin and it looks great up top! I wonder if it was used or meant to be used for some short term company ;) I just remember in the movie "the Unforgiven" the brothel owner said the girls had to "turn a dollar a time" Your inidan is a beaut too! congrats on all those goodies!...what a killer spot you uncovered there! Congratulations! Gold coins don't turn up very often especially in Michigan...would love to see a pic of your other one.

Search the archives of T-net's "Best Finds" or click on "See all post by Lonewolfe" on my profile page? and you'll find the post/thread on it with pictures from back in 2005. It was a $5 gold Indian found in a yard of an old victorian home.

Thanks for looking/reading and HH
 

Had to take another look at this golden beauty. They sure are tiny. Congrats! :hello2:
