Wish this post was for me but I am not this lucky. My friend Bill was at an old park trying out his AT pro for first time. He got a reading of 95 and the sound said dig. What he pulled from the ground was a true beauty. 1921 Morgan Dollar. Needless to say he is now deeply in love with the hobby.

Big Congrats to your friend!!

Don't know if finding a Morgan is all that good for a first silver coin, finding Rosie's and Mercs just won't cut it now. Lol

Awesome find.....

What an awesome find. I hope he realizes that this doesn't happen every time he goes out, but he sure can try. That is still on my wish list. Congratulations to the new detectorist.

Man, he is sure going to be bumming when the next 50 big silvers he digs are the lids to those barrel juices!

Great Morgan!

He is hooked. Loves the At pro. Just like most of us he may need professional help. Addiction is hard to kick.

If the first coin I found when I first started hunting was a Morgan silver dollar I would never put down the detector til the batteries quit . Those Morgans are hard to come by. excellent find there for him.

One of the pretties American coin designs ever made, in my opinion. Your friend is off to a great start in this hobby!
