I'd like to say it's my find but.....
We got a new permission close to where the seated and trime came from last week. It was my birthday today so I was suppose to find the silver. Lol
Things were slow with our only worthy finds a v-nickel for me and a OD nickel for the kid. My v-nickel was the best one I've ever dug and it looks like it's counter stamped?
The home owner today kept following me around asking me to look for water pipes and property markers? We started off following a water line down the right side of the driveway from the road to the house. While I was doing this the kid was searching just off the right side of the driveway yards from my line? After a few more searches with the homeowner, the kid tells me he got a good hit half way down the right side of the driveway go check it out.
I thought he told me it rang up 87-89 so I'm thinking silver quarter. I find the hit but, on my machine it's ringing up 94-95.
I dig a plug and see silver in the hole. It looks too big to be a half? A little clean up and it's not a silver half, it's a 1900 Morgan silver dollar, WOW!!!! He tells me later he thought he told me it rang up like 98-99 for him.

Thanks for all the b-day wishes everyone!! It was a good day overall.
Getting to dig the kids Morgan was Awesome and to be a part of a once in a lifetime find. Sweet!!
I was pretty excited finding the v-nickel in the shape it was in. I wasn't sure what I had at first, all my v's are pretty toasted.
Here's an enlargement showing the L stamp a little better.
Thats a rare Louis Vuitton coin. Inside is milk chocolate.
