Lucked out today by finding an arrowhead in a hole next to a piece of foil. About 45 min later I found a 1879 Morgan dollar about 20 ft from the road. This was at a house built in the 1940s, but the road dates back to the 1700s. Feeling blessed, as this is my 2cd silver dollar. I found a 1846 seated about 5 years ago. At that time I didn’t realize what a find it was. This time I knew and was overjoyed to pull this up.

I bet that silver dollar blew your speaker(s) off. Excellent find.
Thanks everyone! Yeah it rang up in the high 80's/low 90s but wasn't too loud. It was 6 or 7 inches down. I was expecting a quarter given the signal.
