I hunted with a bunch of friends at an old site on Saturday. While there I un earthed this beautiful 1887- O Morgan silver dollar! I got 20 keepers as far as coins go. Also had a 7 silver hunt. The rest of the coins include one large cent, 3 Indians, 6 wheats, 2 silver roses, 3 mercs, one Barber dime, one old Jefferson nickel, one Buffalo nickel, and one "V" nickel. I also got several neat relics. A great day and it sure was cool to be able to share finding that awesome coin with all my friend who were there!

High five for the epic hunt! Those Morgans are tough to find, and the O mint marks are equally prized in my book.

Nice Dollar! Someone already beat me to the answer on those those weights. I found a couple last year while hunting the edge of sulky track that has been in continuous operation since the mid 1800's. An old timer told from the track explained them to me.
