Well today was the day. I went back for an after work hunt to my newest field permission. I went back to the area where we had found some flat buttons on Saturday. Did not find a single flat button there today but Im still in disbelief of what I did find. Was finding some old junk when I got a bouncy low tone. I saw the reeded edge in the clod and at first thought gold plated clock gear or kids gold ring. Soon realized what I had and could not believe it. It was hard to focus after that but I did later find a KG III but who cares. I found a 1852 gold dollar!!!

Congrats on such a small gold coin. I'm curious how deep it was and what did it read on the Deus.

Not sure but I would guess around 4" Don't get a lot of depth in these heavily fertilized fields usually anyway. It read like the thousands of little bits of lead or canslaw these fields are full off. The best I can hope for with these type of signals are small cuff buttons or tombacs but there is always the chance in the back of my mind that it could be small gold. It airtests around 56 in 18khz and I think it was bouncing from 40s-50s in the ground
