Nox 800 scores Gold coin-my first 1852

wbindia · Apr 5, 2019

Still can’t believe it, dug my first ever gold coin 1852 1 dollar gold coin. The Nox 800 locked on solid “12” and I was sure I was digging another Jefferson or Buffalo nickel. Boy was I surprised after digging a plug between 4/5 inches I would be staring at the very discernible “1” Dollar on the reverse. Not until I picked it up did it hit me what I had just recovered-my first ever gold coin, 1852 1dollar coin.

These small dollar coins are out there diggers but you have to be willing to dig low numbers and low tones. Hav I not dug “12” solid lock on VDI numbers they were nickels I would never had dug this coin. Happy hunting!

No problem sharing; a farm in PA part of the Gettysburg campaign during June 1863, we dug many Yankee and Reb plates and buttons from this site
