Was able to get out today at a beach that I have hunted quite a few times in the past... A lot of the areas were closed from the Hurricane, but I managed to squeeze my truck in a small area that just fit.... Got to swinging and every target was coin after coin today. Not much in the way of jewelry or junk... a few pieces of silver here and there... there were a few others swinging there too... I went out far on the mud flat to get away from the other guys and got a loud hit and dug a quarter... checked the hole and got a VERY LOW tone.... could it be a ring? Hmmmmm out pops this little piece of history from 1851.....WOW.... I am on cloud nine.... 42 years of hunting and this was a first for me today.... There is hope that there are still some goodies to be found.... This is a special beach to me this year... I have found a few diamond rings here too this season.... Thanks for looking and I can't wait till tomorrow.... Thank You Sandy from the bottom of my heart.....:notworthy: 1 Dollar Gold Coin (1).JPG 1 Dollar Gold Coin (2).JPG I think it may be a Carson City mint mark.... take a look at the back under the wreath...

Amazing find! I hope to get out to Grand Traverse bay this weekend which I think got nicely churned the last couple of days. Winds were 50+ mph here for the last 2 days

HH,

Those are mighty small coins. Are you using a scoop shovel?
Way to go on that one.

I am using a scoop.... it came out stuck to a mud pile....but had I not gotton a quarter signal first.... I probably would have gone rite by it....always check your holes, dig everything, and cover them in.... it was very faint, but definately gave that low growl that we all love to here...
