went by a ballpark yesterday that looked like it had been out of use for a while.
I had some extra time so i thought i would hunt for a few min. i found only a Little clad at first but then on my way out i hit a strong signal about 6 in down,i dug and out came my first dollar coin(1924) i don't know if its worth much yet, but it sure did get me excited.

Nice find and congrats on the silver! It is worth much more than a dollar, probably close to ten dollars, do a search on it and you will have a good idea of its worth. HH, Mike

Nice silver dollar.

They don't come often. And most times never. I'd get back to that park

Nice dollar. My uncle, Silver Zeus, found an 1891-O dollar this year. My buddy, RP, found an 1842 dollar this year as well.

Finding silver is always nice but finding a Peace or Morgan is extra special. I would plan a few trips or hours at this site depending how big it is. Congrats! RH
