My 1800's site still keeps giving!

Went to my trusty spot today as it just about always gives up something special. 15 min into the hunt I have to pee! Really bad. So I head into the woods and do my thing. On the way out I see a little area I never hit before, covered in ivy and wild grape vines. In the middle I get a faint, deep tone on the CTX. Numbers say wheat penny but I don't rely on them anyway. I like to hunt by depth. About 14 inches down this is what came out. I'm still shaking. My first big big silver and a little one to go with it. Thanks for looking.

Holy mackerel! Welcome to the silver dollar club!!
 

It just goes to prove it pays to take a wiz in the woods. My wife says why do guys do that. Today I'm gonna show her. Great finds.

I'm glad I drank a bottle of water before I went out. Paid off big time!
 

Now that is really a nice site you have there ... Nice finds....
 

Great job MMJ! Damn that's a big old beautiful junk of silver. That's a low key title for such a killer hunt. I was pleasantly surprised

This site has been very very good to me. Thanks for looking.
 

That's great, Mrs morgan and her little brother!, awesome finds, great depth too!
 

Dang, way to go :icon_thumright:
 

Nice stuff!! Just wait till you clean them. They'll shine! Ha Ha Boy oh Boy. Looks like a lot of women did sow pockets back then or their was a lot of single guys. Hot spot for you! But not them! That was almost a days paid back then. 1cent candy. If they only had metal detectors back then. Someone could have been rich.
 

Nice digs. I found a few silver dollars, but that one I still looking for.
 

Big Congrats! I got an 1889 last year and think about it every time I go out now. I started digging those faint signals also to see what could be down there. Looks like it paid off for you.
