2000 Sacagawea Dollar!

[Phishfindr]

After Labor Day, a beach about 20 minutes from me is free daily to the public. From Memorial Day through Labor Day it's $20. No thanks.

I hit the usual suspects at the start (pavillions, fire pits, volleyball nets, playground, and entryways/exits) and kept finding clad. There was plenty of junk, too, but who cares. I was having a blast.

About 2 hours in I got the beep. A nice strong tone. I said "Another quarter!" before I dug. Nope. It turned out to be a "golden dollar". My first!

I also found 12 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies. All clad. So be it!

Great day!

Cool find! I like that coin, also found one recently but even if it's clad, it has a place on my display shelf.

Congratulations on your finds. I especially like those dollar coins. Even the gold presidential ones. They don't seem to hold up in the ground for an extended time.

Sweet finds!

one hole for a $1 sure beats 4 to a 100 holes for the same $1

Don't see those every day. Congrats!

Congrats on the Saca dollar.
I tried a little salt water hunting at a few Connecticut beaches. They told me that the $20 parking charge helped to keep the Riff Raff out.

Phishfindr, did you check if it was a Cherios? You might be lucky.

Awesome find! I found my first Sac dollar last week!

Thanks bill_wabo. I had no idea what you meant until I googled it. Then I grabbed my loupe and checked it out ASAP. It's not one of them, but I learned something new today. Very cool!

I don't mind quarters. I'll dig them all day if they keep coming.

Sure love the big value coins!

The Logic behind the Riff raff out is pretty sucky if you ask me, just another way to get $$$ out of the general Public, which has reached RIDICULOUS proportions, I can say that I HATE DOT GOV.for that reason, what Next?? a Nose picking Permit?? Oh, I already paid for mine so I can Pick in public. (Kidding) I tell the state of Oregon to kiss my Butt every chance I get when it comes to stupid charges.

Congrats on your first dollar coin. Thankfully it wasn't that scary old HAG Susan B. Anthony!!! You are coming along nicely.

I'm with you on this one! I have never found a dollar coin in my decade or so of detecting and then WHAM! I found seven in one honey spot coin drop on the beach in Santa Monica a week ago. All of a sudden at the edge of the dry sand, I began getting all sorts of weird sounds from my CTX3030, and began digging dollar coins one by one. I thought I was done at six, and then found another nearby. There was also a couple of dollars in misc coins, so I walked away with nearly ten dollars from one spot. And weirdly enough, later that day, I found another dollar coin in the sand, no where near the others. Again, I have NEVER found a dollar coin previously.
