2 big silver...one hole

Being cooped up with my wife makes us get at eachothers throats, so I decided to get out for a few hours.
As I was swinging for about an hour with no solid signals, I finally get something that made me smile, the singing of silver.
As I dug and dug my smile started getting bigger and bigger and there she was, an 1888 Morgan dollar. When I pulled it out to take a look I accidentally dropped it back in the hole but the sound was wierd as if I dropped it into my pocket with change. I reallized that there was another coin, I pulled both coins out and as luck would have it another Morgan dollar 1884. I just love silver!!! :icon_king:

I believe they were part of a coin collection because there was a massive flood that ripped a few trailers off of an embankment and now it is just a dried up river bed

I now think of this spot as our own shark pit...lol :icon_jokercolor:
I hit that particular area quiet hard. but there are alot of downed trees and debris that must be moved from where the river was blocked up ao I am sure there is alot more to be found...we have only scratched the surface.

Google it.


That makes sense, because there is no way they would've been dipped back in the day. I'd hunt that area hard. Congratulations on some great finds. :thumbsup:

If those were dropped accidentally, someone had to be falling down drunk not to notice! Great find!

The only way I see that they were "dipped" is; Ms. Liberty went for a "Dip" and a ride in the flood waters. Kewl finds dude! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
