Gold coin on the farm!

**A farmer was hitching up his mule to plow his fields when the mule kicks him, breaking both legs.
The next day his wife visits him in the hospital and he laments that without plowing they could not plant a crop and they will soon lose the farm.
The wife tells him to relax because she has taken care of everything. Incredulous, he asks how?
She tells him, “Remember that old gold coin my grand daddy gave me? Well yesterday I took it to the coin shop in town and asked if it was worth much. They told me it was and asked where I got it. I told them it was a secret but we had found dozens in our fields.
Right now there’s 200 guys with metal detectors digging up the whole field!”**

I need a lot of digging on my property. I may borrow that story.

good thinking on her side
They probably wouldn’t want me there because I wouldn’t dig that big of a hole and I would cover it up

Can you imagine if - this really happened - AND someone actually found a gold coin???
Wow... I am sure someone would bring in a back hoe, and a TV show would start a series like Oak Island.

Wasn’t there a container of D mint gold found in the south a few decades ago. I picked up a MS ‘57-D $5 apparently from that find.
@mintmaderarities.... Welcome aboard. I do not recall that incident, do you have a link? Cheers, RickO
This may have been the incident., although I seem to recall a farm.
