This has been a wild three days! I got two Barber halves two days in a row and I got a big bucket lister for me today. I got a 1891 O Morgan at about eight inches down!! Buford sniffed it out and barked at me to dig!! I’m so glad I did! I’m still shaking and in disbelief!!!!
I agree. It is a bit greedy. I think theses may have been in a jar and hit by a plow and spread out. I’m going to take a day and really hit the area. I’m just shocked at finding them! This don’t happen to me and I think I need to buy a lottery ticket!!
Great find Jay. Congrats on taking that one off your bucket list. I hunted about 20 years before I found my first one, then a few years after that, I found 2 in 5 minutes, about 10 feet apart. They are a shocker when they come out of the ground.
Jay Banta,looks like you joined the silver dollar club.In hunting for over 50 years i have unearthed 8 silver dollars 5 of them were Morgan and three peace dollars.That one had to have your heart pumping fast.Show her after a little cleaning please.
Prof, you bet I will!! My heart nearly beat out my chest when I realized what I’d found! It was truly a rush for me. I thought the two Barber halves were great, then along came this lady!!! Never thought I’d find one!!
You’ve definitely found a great spot, 3 big silvers, wow! I have yet to dig a silver dollar, 5 silver halves, but not the big one yet. Some day... Congrats on your score and good luck pounding that site.
