Past three might have been GOOD. They tore out a parking lot and I’ve spent the past theee nights detecting it. First night netted a couple relics some crusty pennies and a counterfeit 18k ring. Next night the six-inch coil scooped up an 1874 Canadian quarter and some other fun stuff. Today they gutted the lot, a GIANT hole in the center for sewer pipes and piles of deep dirt all around. Tonight all I found there was a lone wheatie. As I was leaving i remembered seeing an intersection with the sidewalk ramps torn out. I almost skipped it but am glad I didn’t. I dug a Barber Quarter and an 1890 MORGAN DOLLAR!

The back is kinda crusty but I don’t care :occasion14:

Congrats on the Morgan dollar :thumbsup: Lots of people dig something cool and call it a bucket lister, even if they had never considered digging one before. But a silver dollar is one of a small handful of things that is actually on my bucket list along with a gold coin and a GW Inaugural button.

It’s my first silver dollar. It wasn’t even on my list of things I hoped to dig someday. I never thought it was even a realistic possibility to hope to dig a Morgan.

Those are some great, great finds Mr. Squirrel! That Morgan dollar is a true show-stopper. I'm guessing it blew your ears off when you passed the coil over it. Major congratulations!!!
