First River Gold 1853 O !!!

[toasted]

So I decided to give my early river site another try after work tonight. Site has been hammered by me since last year but I scored the 1664 cob last trip so finds can pop up anytime. Its mostly early colonial stuff here but I have dug some indians, an 1827 Mexico 1 real and a 1859 Merchant token as well as some modern stuff so anythings possible. I have literally dug hundreds of little lead balls here which usually always ring up at about 12 on the Nox and tonight was no different( see pic) except that one of those lead balls was an 1853 New Orleans Gold Dollar

Dig it all! Heck with the VDI! That's the only way to go. Excellent job.

Nice. Looks like it escaped damage!

Some scratches, probably most from me retrieving it from the rocky/sandy bottom, but in remarkable shape otherwise. Most dug gold dollars seem to have seen little circulation before being lost. My other one is nice too
