Well I found one today ! :headbang: It was at an older school field 7 inches down . It sure looked good in the hole . 1924 silver dollar ! I have never started shaking when finding something good but this time my heart felt like it would pop right out ! Also got a 1959 Cinco peso very large coin , looks like silver ! It will go down as one of my best hunts ever ! :icon_thumright:

Wow....what a fantastic coin...nevermind the awesome condition that it's in. Congrats!
Pretty sure the Mexican coin is not silver, but I could be wrong.

I don't know either, but wonder why it says 18.055G on it if it is not silver.

I found out that the Mexican coin is 72% silver ! Two big silvers for me in one day, that will never happen again .
