I went out for about 20 minutes and as I was swinging, I got a 78 on the AT Pro. In short hunts I don't usually dig penny signals but decided to this time because the machine said it was 2" down. Well I dug it and not even half an inch down I saw a nice silver rim. Pulled it up and it was this 1923 Peace dollar encased in rubber. (I think the rubber is ugly)

But the rubber gives the coin a striking look...great find!
 

The coin did not want to breed... so it was wearing protection :P
 

great find. must have at one time been set in a belt buckle or a necklace
 

The detail on her is striking Wait for Info from others on how to Get the Rubber of with out causing Damage HH Chug and Red
 

Great find! Never seen a rubber encased dollar before. Maybe soaking it in some gasoline would help remove the coating.
 

peace coin and rubber together there has joke in there somewhere. my buddy and I are older men so he calls me one day and says he was in the drug store where they sell condoms. he says how convenient they have a three pack. a years supply in one box.
 

It was definitely a pendant, medallion, or something. I won't be taking the rubber off (lol). Someone took a peace dollar, carved out the fields and stuck it in rubber. I peeled back some of that black and you can see through it.

Well that sucks!
 

Well that stinks, but still a heck of a rush to find I bet.
 

Yeah! It's cool to know that there are still silver dollars in the ground. It's just this time I found half a silver dollar haha.
