My first big $1 Silver Dollar & more wheat penny beside the old tree

Hello,

Wake up hurry in Saturday because I know will be very hot later, heading back to the state park again that I found a 1944 Mercury Dime last week. When I got there, I go back to the same spot try about hour and half but not much, just some penny and dime, so I decide walk down to the other side of the park, I saw a very very old trees there and not too many people, I start Mding around those old trees, the first 3 found all is a wheat Penny's (1940, 1958 and 1956D), and then I got a very strong signal jumping around on $1 in 8 inch, I start dig the spot very carefully, and then I saw a big Silver coin come out, when I pick up the coin, it is a 1899 MORGAN Silver Dollar, this is my first $1 Silver coin find, I was so happy and looking for the coin about 10 minutes, after that I dig out 2 more wheat Penny's (1938 and 1958) and I decide to go home.

Find on 08/25/2007:
1 1899 Morgan Silver Dollar
3 Quarter
1 Nickel
11 Dimes
25 Penny's (5 Wheat 1938, 1940, 1956D and 2x 1958)
1 Game Token

Total $3.15 in 42 coins

Thank you for reading my post

Sam from Brooklyn

Great find! ;D

Too bad it has the "O" mint mark, if there was not mint mark, it would be worth a couple hundred bucks instead of a couple ten dollar bills. ???

Nice find! My only silver dollar was a 99O, and I remember wishing it had been a Philly, too. Then I realized, "hey, it's a silver dollar."
