Find of a lifetime

Well-known member
Well I found my best civil war relic and best coin all with one find. I got permission on a new spot real close to where I have hunted for years. And man is this going to be good. I started out finding old cans and a modern small caliper bullet and decided to move up the property as I only had about a hour and a half before it got dark. I crossed the gully and about 5 ft past a get a good signal. I dig down and find my first civil war find (melted lead). So I slowed way down and started to circle and a few feet away I got a mixed tone, slight high tone and low tones mixed in on my xterra 70. So I dig down several inches. I was having a hard time finding it. Then I got it out of hole and barely found it with my pinpointer. I flipped it over and there laid gold aluminum foil or so I thought. I was disappointed and then I flipped it over and saw the head on it and then I had to catch my breathe. I was looking at a 1856 gold one dollar coin. My first gold coin. It is bent but I’m not complaining. I no joke sat there for about 20 minutes or longer. I called me wife then Mike and one other buddy before I ever picked it up. I then found all the rest of my finds within 30 foot square. And then it got dark. More to come. Wooo I’m I excited. Not exactly sure what the tweezer looking things are. But I found a eagle button in rough shape and several round balls. One looks to have been pulled. And I think A scabbard tip. The button was only about three inches deep. On a root my pinpointer would hit it before I dug. I have only got to detect a handful of times this year been so busy. But this was a good day detecting.
 
Lol. I did and I’m actually a youth pastor. I asked God if I just found one bullet I would be happy and I find this. I was definitely blessed today.

You had a great day out for sure. The coin is over the top. All nice finds and saves. Love that CW History. And to think you have much more ground to cover from where these Relics were found. Continued Success to you.
 
Awesome finds buddy. The gold coin is a amazing find.
 
Thanks guys. Think I’m going to try early in the morning to hunt it again.
