I went back to the old homestead today. I dig some more clearing, went to the truck and got the detector. I had pulled a small tree up on the side of the property. It rained alot late this week and the ground was soft. Within seconds my headphones almost got knocked off. In the plug, no more than four inches deep was this:

1923 Peace Dollar!!!!!

I bet all of Stephens City wondered what that noise was. I jumped, screamed and almost passed out. She's a beauty, isn't she??

Thanks for looking and thanks for all I've learned on this site.

I got really tired after that and had to quit. Probably result of the bite I got last weekend.

Hey Dig: WTG! Lookin' Good! Hope that's a 28 Phillie! $$$ By the Pic, It's hard to tell whether that's a glitch on the Pic or an S.
