Fair warning, this will probably be a long post. 
Saturday I went back to the place where the previous weekend I had found a V nickel and a Merc in a weather shortened hunt (It was cold and windy.) So after hunting about 2 hours I had only found 4 or 5 modern coins. No lie, I told myself I was going to make one more pass around some trees and head over to a school in the area. I finally got a decent signal and popped the plugged. It was still in the plug and as I scrapped away dirt I saw some shiney. Turned out to be a 1947 Rosie. 
Obviously I stayed close to that spot and it wasn't long before I got another signal that I thought was going to be a Wheat cent. I popped the plug but was not deep enough. I grabbed another scoop of dirt and tossed it on the pile and another Rosie revealed itself. (1946)
At this point I got greedy and told myself if I can get one more silver it will be my first 3 silver coin day. About 10 yards from where I found the silver dimes I got a loud signal. To be honest I don't even remember what the VDI read. I also missed my pinpointing pretty bad. After I flipped the plug, the signal was in the side wall. I grabbed another chunk and this is what I saw.
Unless it was a cruel token or something odd, I knew it was silver dollar size, but as I brushed away dirt I was having trouble seeing any detail. I finally saw the rays and I had an idea what I had found. I gently brushed off the dirt on my pants. Turns out she had lived a rough life so I didn't have to be too concerned about scratching it.
My last good find of the day was a 1911 V nickel. As usual, it was rough. I was hoping to find a Buffalo to complete a trifecta, but no luck.
Here is the family pic. I also found a cool button and a small buckle. 2 of these wheats are from my hunt today at a local school. It's weird how rough the whole rim of the Peace Dollar is. At first I thought I may have scratched it, but it's like that all the way around.
Thanks for looking. GL & HH
