So I left the lake yesterday and had to sneak in one last hunt before saying goodbye. I had a 2 hour window so I needed to make it count. I narrowed in on the half I had had the best luck and hit some of the more inconvinient areas I had passed before. Found a solid 90 - 92 on the at pro and for once my excitement paid off! Pulled my first silver dollar! A 1923-S peace dollar. I knikcked her a bit when digging my plug, must have rushed my pinpointing in my excitement... sometimes you just know its going to be something good. This past week has secured this hobby as something I can see myself doing for a long time. I had a F2 before and pulled a few silvers and old coins but this week has been amazing and been so rewarding! I thank all of you who have shared my excitement with me over the past few days. This is truely a great community and I am so happy I joined when I did.

Welcome to the Silver Dollar Club !!! Mine was also a 23-S Peace and I massacred the obverse side with a steel probe because
I thought it was gonna be another flattened beer can ! Being a silversmith I made a bolo tie slide out of it with the Eagle side
showing - sold it for 75$ Nice Find !

Congrats on the peace dollar. What a great find. I have recently started using my kayak to access some out of the spots. This has proven to be a very productive strategy so far. Happy Hunting on Cape Cod!

That's on my bucket list. I have found only one silver dollar and it was a 2001 silver eagle. When I started pulling it out I thought for sure I had a walking liberty. It was on a path back to the river not sure how it got there but I'll take it lol. Great recovery.
