We've hunted this spot a few times in the past and it gave up a Silver Rosie and an 1898 Morgan. We're going to hit this site again next weekend. IMGP0159.JPG IMGP0163.JPG

I would freak out if I saw a gold-colored coin down there... those dollars look like they're still shiny lol. Nice finds and congrats on the silver!

The dollars were brown when Sue dug them. The photo was taken after cleaning.

Nice job Ed!!! ( and sue) I hate those dollar coins when they turn brown, I always think they’re a large cent. $12 in clad is a solid day and a TON of holes, excellent work!!

Thanks Bob......Sue's dollar coins were a crusty red color when they came out of the ground. Didn't take them long to deteriorate.
