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:

Sidewalk ramp tear-out have never produced for me :dontknow:

Stretches of sidewalks have produced finds for me but just the ramps torn-out have not. That’s why I almost skipped it.
I actually think these might have been in the sandy fill they dumped in the absences of the curbs. It was stirred around enough I don’t know....

Squirrel1322, some great finds and the Morgan is the cherry on top - I also like the token, some real history there. Good luck with your hunts. Walt

Nice hunts and productive site.
Still looking for my first silver dollar, every season I still hope. It's been on the bucket list for 50yrs now, but time is running short. Lol

Lady Liberty's face usually takes a beating. Yours in NICE! I have uncirculated Morgans that have bagged mark faces that are bad. Congrats on a tough coin to find. Gary

Outstanding hunt squirrel, I am always on the lookout for where they had the old wooden boardwalks. They are very good spots. Glad you have some good ground to cover. That Morgan is a beauty!!!
