Have any of you ever found a gold dollar with your metal detector ? I'm guessing not many are found because of their small size. Would love to find one.
Nope. Don’t look down there usually. That’s going to be pretty “location specific” and hard as hell to find because of all the terrible trash that reads very similarly. 1800s sites,maybe a ghost town,maybe an old farmers market from way back...
The normal coin hunter won’t likely find one,you’d have to be looking hard in that fairly narrow range and be willing to dig TONS of trash to have a chance.
On the bright side,a 20$ piece reads “quarter-ish” I believe I read once...so just dig all your quarters!
I found one at a beach in Northern California it’s on my finds page it was a 1851

I've found two $1 gold's. One after beach storm erosion, and the other was a park turf find @ an oldtown park.

Did you just go out, open your pouch, whistle and they jumped right in? Out east, we suspect that is what happens with gold coins out west.
Yeah, those guys on the west coast are always whining about east coast largies while finding multiple gold coins...cry me a river Cali.
That is something to be proud of, congrats. Ahhhh, the memories...I've found two $1 gold's. One after beach storm erosion, and the other was a park turf find @ an oldtown park.
Those big $20 coins will read in the copper penny range.
