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

Thanks for the comments everyone. While I feel that the cut Pine Tree Shilling and 1664 double date Spanish cob are the superior finds from this site, this one is no slouch either and I understand the appeal of gold coins vs rare early colonial silver. No debate that this is certainly a Banner site though

Wow those are incredible finds. I wish we had some of those out here in the mountains of western Maryland. (If they are here they are still hiding from me) Keep swingin.
