🥇 BANNER First GOLD COIN Today from the Field of Dreams!!!!!!

[oxbowbarefoot]

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.

Great find. That's the roundness you want to see.
What I find more amazing than the find is the site itself, even with a whole group pounding it, there seems no shortage of finds. Having thought about it, it must have been more than just one house site ? or do you know waht was there ?

Congrats on first gold, hope to see that color of round disc in my hole someday (soon)

The site is massive, 2,300 acres of open farm land. Over the last 360 years, the area has been continually farmed and periodically occupied. I've found a wide variety of goodies there, and it seems to keep producing!

Outstanding! Can't wait to I find one.
