If you count the suzan b's and saq's, dozens.
I once found about 30 in 1 outing at the beach, must have been a seeded treasure hunt gone awry.

If silver, just 2.

A few dozen of the newer clad coins. Never a silver dollar yet.

At our post office one can put a bill, like a $10, into the stamp machine, then hit refund or return and10 new one dollar coins will be returned. I've found most of them at the nearest park a few blocks from there.

oh, maybe ten or twelve, not counting seeded hunts, in 10 years I've been detecting .
I figure the coins aren't popular because their similar size to quarters...?

You guys are all doing great. I have never found a silver dollar. I find the occasional suzie once in a while though.

Hunted well over 30 years and found my very first one ever in Italy of all places, only about 40 yards down the beach during a very rare low tide last year on a sand bar. Never found one State side, find lots of US coins in Germany, but this was the first US coin I ever found in Italy and it was a dollar at that.
