Call it fate ... if Zach hadn't come to Colorado, I probably wouldn't have gone out that day as I was exhausted and on my third day in a row of hard core detecting. The most amazing part of this video, aside from finding that awesome piece of history, was seeing it from Zach's perspective and hearing how he got just as excited as I did when he saw it. My head was spinning so much, I didnt notice it in the moment. Great capture Zach, thank you for being there with me during this incredible find and thank you for coming out to Colorado and coming out with us. You are welcome anytime.
Thanks Ken it really is amazing how it all played out like that and how I happened to be out there that weekend which got you to go out again. That was such a memorable hunt and I’m sure you me and Tony will be getting out together more whether on Colorado or Kansas
I am sure looking forward to Ken's next episode of 'Weekly Dirt'. He's been sharing the joy of other people finding gold (and as a detectorist, it's been a delight to watch), so this one's going to be a very, very special edition. So, huge congratulations Ken! It seems like you've pleased the gold gods.
I was thinking the same thing Beth.... how was he able to clear all those verbal shenanigans ... great job Zach ... congrats again on those amazing buttons, I know that gold coin became the focus but we cannot lose sight of the fact that those buttons were just as rare if not more rare and had us scratching our heads just the same... well done ... and you got two of them
Oh Ken‼️. Watching you find your first gold coin makes me smile so big. Congratulations, my friend‼️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love the drone shots. Y’all found a great place. Awesome relics too. Great video.
So glad to see Ken find his first gold coin! He definitely deserved it and now he can feature himself on The Weekly Dirt! haha Congrats to Beth too on that amazing pair of early Navy buttons! Great video Zach and glad Ken's monster bucket lister was documented for posterity! Take care and ATB Greg
Thank you Greg. I agree, we cant let that gold coin overshadow those amazing buttons of Beths. What 1840 US Navy buttons were doing in a field in Colorado just boggles the mind. I mean, pioneers didnt really start coming to the area until the 1950s so those were incredible finds. Just incredible.
OMG That was absolutely PRICELESS to see Ken find his first gold coin!!!! EPIC!!! Now he can be featured in the awesome “Adventures in Dirt” weekly episodes!!! 😂 WTG KEN!!!! WHAHOOOOOO!!!
WOW, I'm so happy for Ken right now it's unbelievable, 🙏🙏, He's the one usually showing others find gold coin, Finally it's happened for Ken Congratulations DK 👊 HH brother ATB Jim 👍
@@AdventuresInDirt I'm so happy for you Ken, that's the one find all us detectorist strive to achieve, It finely happened to you brother You deserve it, take care DK 👍
You have to include your find on your channel DK. as far as I know not many gold coins found in our community isn't highlighted on your channel, Yours is no exception 😁👊👍🍻
It does take a lot of time and effort to strike gold. I agree the Zach gets a lot of credit in his support getting you out in the field one more day. Great find and a great story.
I am so happy to get to hunt with you here in Colorado and to experience some pretty incredible things out on this hunt. What a great, great day buddy. Thanks for being out with us.
Huge congrats on that sweet gold dollar Ken. That thing is beautiful. Beth with the sweet buttons on the day. Definitely a great day of Diggin for sure. Happy hunting and be well
Thank you Doug. I agree, we cant let that gold coin overshadow those amazing buttons of Beths. What 1840 US Navy buttons were doing in a field in Colorado just boggles the mind. I mean, pioneers didnt really start coming to the area until the 1950s so those were incredible finds. Just incredible.
Congratulations Ken finding your first gold coin. You've shown a few of my gold coins on the weekly dirt, now it's your turn buddy. There's no better feeling than when you first see gold in the hole, it literally blows your mind. Your reaction was priceless and one you'll never forget. 👍👌👌🍀 Well done to the lady finding the navy buttons too 👍👌👌🍀🍀
Great find👌been metal detecting in the uk 🇬🇧 for many years now found a gold guinea dated 1700 from William the third. Can remember the sun just glinted on it a memory you do not forget😃 good luck to you and your detecting buddies👍"where's their is one😃there could be other's" good hunting👍👍👍👍👍
Outstanding hunt with great people but seeing Ken find that gold was awesome. Congratulations. Those Navy buttons were beautiful. Thanks for sharing the hunt. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.
I agree, we cant let that gold coin overshadow those amazing buttons of Beth's. What 1840 US Navy buttons were doing in a field in Colorado just boggles the mind. I mean, pioneers didnt really start coming to the area until the 1950s so those were incredible finds. Just incredible.
Jim, you guys are on the perfect hunting grounds for a gold to pop ... I think its just a matter of when, not if .... best of luck in your hunt... I will be watching and praying
That is so awesome ken you show everybody else is gold coins so glad you got one as well I meet you at div a few years ago you were sitting with Matt at the bar couldn't happen to a nicer guy
That was fun watching Ken freak again. Saw it on his program. I am going to tell the button story. A young man was in the navy. When he got out, he set out to find his fortune in gold, taking his navy jacket with him. Life was rough in the mountains out west and he lost those two buttons, maybe in a fight. If there had been more buttons, I would have thought something happened to him and his jacket was left behind to rot away. Congrats Ken!
Listened to you Relics Radio and had to subscribe. I am less than a year into detecting but have always had a passion for ‘hands-on’ history, so, at 51, decided to try it. If you are ever out in central or western KS, I would love to meet up and tag along and learn something.
Zach, my 3× great grandfather, Peter Filatreu Cross (1815-1862), designed the reverse of that $1 gold coin in 1849. He was an assistant engraver to James B. Longacre at the Mint in Philadelphia. It was, at 1/2" in diameter, the smallest coin ever made by the U.S. Mint. They changed the thickness and diameter of the coin in 1854 because people were losing those coins! $1 was equal to $31.56 in today's purchasing power. Great find! ~Bill Stephens
Wow that is awesome! HUGE congrats to the man of the day nahhh man of the month who found that beautiful gold coin. Definitely go out for a beer after that find but just don’t spend it 😂 👍🏼
At first I thought it's good to see Ken out digging instead of being behind the computer,. Then he goes and finds a four bit gold coin . Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Again Ken, so happy for you and also for the rest of the crew. A gold coin, especially a US, is just as special as it gets. So crazy how sometimes the circumstances involved in detecting and where you’re going that day seem to create amazing finds. I watched Kaye from “Kaye’s diggin it” dig a Cob right next to us in the fill or push dirt. The only reason they were there is because Emma and I decided to go there for a while before work. A cob!! I equate it to inviting people over your house for a card game and you end up broke, lol. Great job again!!
Thats an insane find. Also I'm a fellow dirt fisher. So I've been wondering how y'all find all these site from the 1800s. If you could tell me how that would be great. Would love to find something that 1920s and under. Thanks
Thanks for stopping by! I can't give all the details away about how we find trail sites specifically, but we use old maps online. Another great way to find 1800s coins if that's what you are looking for is to search house yards from that time period
Hey man! Congratulations on ya'lls finds. What ya think of Co.? Been out here since 85. Just started detecting a couple yrs. ago. Got an idea for ya? You could probably come up with a video from your drone other footage? These Mets. are bit bigger than what you're used to.
Kenny boy welcome to the club. Love your excitement lol 😝. It’s like wha.. wher.. uha.. . You don’t know what to think.. It’s like an out of body experience.. So happy for you mate. That’s awesome.. Are the fairly rare?? Looks like it’s in great condition. What sort of price would that little coin hold .?
I tell ya, you are right... my head was spinning mate, didnt know which way was up. Now I know... couldnt imagine finding three in the same hole like you lot. Value is anywhere between $150-$250 US but it is priceless to me
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting That was one of my favorite parts of the video ... Seeing your side of things and the way you got just as excited as me was priceless. Thanks for being there with me for that amazing find, if you hadnt come to Colorado, I may not have gone out that day.
I'm not a coin grader, but I've read up on a lot of grading standards so I place this coin at a VF25 which makes that coin a $250 dollar coin, (if it were to be graded)
The book value of your coin is around 250.00 had it been a D mintmark, it would be worth around 1700.00 dollars as they were minted in Dahlonega, Georgia and less than 10 thousand were minted
On a bad day, the $1 gold coin is worth around $175 (has what grading companies would call "environmental damage"), but could sell for $200 or more to an interested buyer. Nice find.
One of the reasons ... I was dead tired after three days of getting to go out detecting, which is rare for me. I just didnt have the energy to put one out but check it out this week ... something tells me, I may break my own rule and feature this in the episode... cheers
We were asking ourselves the same thing. What were they doing there? Between those buttons, the small pistol round balls, and that gold coin dated 1851 ... and to think pioneers didnt really start coming through that area until the 1850s ... that had to be some special story surrounding those items
Call it fate ... if Zach hadn't come to Colorado, I probably wouldn't have gone out that day as I was exhausted and on my third day in a row of hard core detecting.

👍I’m in Ct lots of history here GW stayed in my town of old lyme found a Kentish guard button Washington’s elite fighting men

Thanks Chris! Nice to hear from a fellow Kansas hunter. It's a fun hobby and it's great that we get to preserve a lot of this history too
Finally it was your turn. Some lucky SOB’s find it as beginners while others take years.
Cheers Riddick, thanks👍
Well done Ken outstanding 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you ... it was an amazing feeling

What an amazing story Bill... thank you for sharing it with us ... there is no doubt many of these coins were lost due to their tiny size.
Thanks amazing Bill, thanks so much for sharing that
Don’t forget about us lesser folk, who have not found a gold coin ….yet. Congrats!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow that is awesome! HUGE congrats to the man of the day nahhh man of the month who found that beautiful gold coin. Definitely go out for a beer after that find but just don’t spend it 😂 👍🏼

As always great Relics. And a Big Congrats on the 1 Dollar Gold Coin. Wow. Gives us all hope for the gold one. Take Care all of you
Amazing hunt, amazing finds! Congrats to all of you! God bless!

At first I thought it's good to see Ken out digging instead of being behind the computer,. Then he goes and finds a four bit gold coin . Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Congratulations Ken!! Definitely want to send that in to Numismatic Conservation Services.
HUGE congrats! You deserve this one!!!
Thank you very much
Again Ken, so happy for you and also for the rest of the crew. A gold coin, especially a US, is just as special as it gets.
So crazy how sometimes the circumstances involved in detecting and where you’re going that day seem to create amazing finds. I watched Kaye from “Kaye’s diggin it” dig a Cob right next to us in the fill or push dirt. The only reason they were there is because Emma and I decided to go there for a while before work. A cob!!
I equate it to inviting people over your house for a card game and you end up broke, lol.
Great job again!!

Congratulations on ya'lls finds.
What ya think of Co.?
Been out here since 85. Just started detecting a couple yrs. ago.
Got an idea for ya? You could probably come up with a video from your drone other footage? These Mets. are bit bigger than what you're used to.
Kenny boy welcome to the club. Love your excitement lol 😝. It’s like wha.. wher.. uha.. . You don’t know what to think.. It’s like an out of body experience.. So happy for you mate. That’s awesome.. Are the fairly rare?? Looks like it’s in great condition. What sort of price would that little coin hold .?

Not wrong we’re never selling ours. Big congrats again. You deserved it 👍🇦🇺🍺
Big congrats Ken. I can see how it affected you. It would have me too.
Yeah you might have noticed my breathing increased when I saw what it was 😂 Thanks for stopping by!
@@GreatOutdoorsDetecting That was one of my favorite parts of the video ... Seeing your side of things and the way you got just as excited as me was priceless. Thanks for being there with me for that amazing find, if you hadnt come to Colorado, I may not have gone out that day.
Thanks buddy... it still makes my pulse race
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job!!!
Those gold dollars were lost a lot. They are so small!
Congratulations on that gold coin find! How amazing is that? Wonderful to know it can still happen!
Thanks Lorie! It seems to happen when its least expected! That was one of the last things I thought we would find that day
Great video keep up the good videos
I'm not a coin grader, but I've read up on a lot of grading standards so I place this coin at a VF25 which makes that coin a $250 dollar coin, (if it were to be graded)
Thanks for the info and for stopping by!
The book value of your coin is around 250.00 had it been a D mintmark, it would be worth around 1700.00 dollars as they were minted in Dahlonega, Georgia and less than 10 thousand were minted
What about Carson City? You forgot the CC mint.
nice ring and gold coin wow
All finds are awesome..... BUT REALLY CONGRATS on the STUPID gold coin 😂
On a bad day, the $1 gold coin is worth around $175 (has what grading companies would call "environmental damage"), but could sell for $200 or more to an interested buyer. Nice find.
Thanks for stopping by Rob!
Thanks Rob, cheers
I find it very hard to believe that gold coin had been sitting on the very topsoil for well over 150 years 🤔
I would love to do things like that.
Lucky boy
So thats why we didnt get a Weekly Dirt last week !
One of the reasons ... I was dead tired after three days of getting to go out detecting, which is rare for me. I just didnt have the energy to put one out but check it out this week ... something tells me, I may break my own rule and feature this in the episode... cheers
5:38
What on earth would the Navy be doing in a field in Colorado?
We were asking ourselves the same thing. What were they doing there? Between those buttons, the small pistol round balls, and that gold coin dated 1851 ... and to think pioneers didnt really start coming through that area until the 1850s ... that had to be some special story surrounding those items
One more time PLEASE... What they gold coin ring up at? Pull tab I bet.... Js
What a shame, smells sooo good!
What do gold coins ring up on the Mylapore
