Checked out some trails at a nearby park today. Found the obligatory pull tabs (some nice ones for my rare pull tab collection) then got an amazing signal I was sure would be a can. I was very surprised when this popped out from only a few inches under the leaves. OK so its a 1991 :icon_scratch: that I guess some kid lost while playing pirates out in the woods. I was hoping for some old big silver but I'll take it!

Also found 2 wheaties (1917 and 192(8)?), this solid brass shear gear, and a medicine bottle that must have just washed in from an old dump (still has the cork in it!)

Nice job on that silver American Eagle. Those bullion coins do not appear very often.

I didn't know they made those. That is my favorite coin design. I would have been so confused on the date lol. Congrats!

Nice! Even though it a retro repop, Iโ€™d have to say thatโ€™s the first bullion dollar Iโ€™ve seen dug for a while! Not many can say theyโ€™ve dug a 1991 silver.... Congrats on that great save, Ddf.

My first silver dollar was a 50% silver Canadian commemorative $1. The polar bear one.

A silver eagle is a great first silver dollar!!
