WOW>

THats one sweet find. No silver dollars here at all yet, however if I ever get one I don't think it would be detecting. I would believe that the chances of finding such a wonderful find are very slim.

Mega Congratulations on that find!!

You are very fortunate my friend!

I've known some of the best THers ever and more have found gold pieces than have found a silver dollar.

Yes, this is one of the most difficult to find coins in the U.S.

It's probably easier to find a Spanish 8 Reale here in America than a U.S. silver dollar.

Congrats.

That's a great find, Randall. I love the design on those.

You should be smiling from ear to ear. ;D
