I'm pumped up this morning

Dusted off the etrac and headed to a favorite old park. My silver count has been down due to the fact I've been trying to master the deus

Typical walking back to the truck telling myself one more signal and bam a solid 12-49 at nine inches. I said this might be something good.

Cut a large careful plug check the dirt it's out. Swept some dirt away to see a large disc. Picked it up.and new I had a silver dollar

These are very hard to come by. It made my day and thought I'd share with you guys

Thanks everyone for the nice comments

I needed a big find after the dipa and the last 100 hrs I've been working the deus exclusively. I was finding old coins with the deus

I just find more with the etrac. The types of hunting I do the fbs is the ticket. The deus for everything else.

It's a thrill to anticipate a good reading then dig and recover what the machine is telling you

Thanks again guys
 

Sweet 1883 Morgan! Back from the Cowboy days and the Wild West!
You could buy ALOT of stuff with that dollar back in 1883! :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Never found a silver dollar. I bet that Morgan screamed at you.
I've dug a few 12-49's,, turned out to be clad quarters.
Congrats
 

WOW, WOW, WOW. What a great find. I would quit drinking ANd cussing to find something like that dollar. Excellent!!!!!
 

Yes a lot of money back then

It sat right off a path. Perfect spot to sit and rest. Usually 46 47 quarters for me. I've dug halfs at 1/50.

Wasn't a number you see often on etrac. I was anticipating copper or brass fitting. Was crossing fingers that it may be a Half before I dug.

Glad it was what it was. There out there. I don't know how it was missed over the yrs. It was close to a tree.

Thanks again guys
 

Still looking for my first one of those after 25 years- congrats on an awesome find!!

Congrats! It's such a wonderful feeling to pull those big ole cartwheels out of the dirt!
 

Deus would sucked that up & blown your ears off at 10 inches.
 

Deus would sucked that up & blown your ears off at 10 inches.

Agreed. Would have given you a signal at 20" I think! Great find. Definitely a top 5 on the wish list that may happen someday (compared to the wish list that will never happen, although I may want to reconsider that after my recent luck).
 

I can't even imagine pulling one of those out of the ground. Amazing. :headbang:
 

OMG! What a great find! You must be so stoked. Can't wait to find such a beauty! Congrats! :notworthy:
 

Thanks a lot guys

A ace 250 would have found this coin. No doubt the deus would have found it. I wasn't knocking the deus


The etrac just does a great job at pounded parks. I'd much rather have found that awesome tree coin you found man

Morgan's are out there. Just wish a few gold coins would show up after how much time I've spent hunting over the yrs

Welcome to the club! Yours is a beauty too....huge congrats on the huge silver!
 

Thanks guys

I've been fortunate over the yrs with this being my 4th silver dollar in my career. They are a thrill to find every time

The last one I dug about three yrs ago. My brother walked right by it. It was sticking half way out of the ground surrounded by can tops.

He was pretty sick when I said you just walked by a Morgan lol. There huge coins but they do get lost

HH Jer
 

Beautiful big silver.
 

Thanks guys I appreciate it

Jeremy-

Great find! I too am surprised at the target ID number, but the important thing is you dug it and its now yours. :thumbsup:
