1878 Morgan

[Relicific]

I spend hundreds of hours in the woods every year, but never had a Morgan on my radar.
The woods I hunt are mostly free of junk so my coil is usually quiet except for the occasional nail, foil and a musketball ball or two.
This day was no different,so quiet signal wise when suddenly get a high 90-93 on my Deus.
Not a pop can signal, this was different.even thou I Was thinking it was probably a machine part but when this massive coin showed itself I was stunned to say the least especially since
this is my only second US silver coin I’ve found in 4 years of detecting.
1878 Morgan was the first year they were minted and this coin in particular has a S mint mark for SAN Francisco.

That Morgan is in great condition. It seems like Liberty's face always takes a beating but the eagle always looks better than Miss Liberty. Gary
