Hello all,,,
As some of you may know I have been doing a lot of detecting with my friend Gary and also been kinda putting the skunk on em lately... Well,,, let me tell you, he must have gotten super mad today, because he ripped me a new one...
We both started the day out with a wheatie, and a few tokens a piece. He then says. "Hey Leon,,, come over here and take a look at this." I walk over to where he had a very small size plug, just a few inches deep, but you could see the rim of a big coin. I said, "WOW!!!, that looks like a silver dollar."
He then lifted it out from the hole and it was a 1886 Morgan dollar... We sit there looking like two kids in a candy store as I took a few pics... I told him last week, "Ya,,, I'm finding all these measly dimes, and your saving your luck up for the good ones." Sheesh....
After looking at this coin for a few he re-scanned the hole... (beep, beep) it was still sounding off like a cannon. He moved a little of the dirt around and out pops two more rims of some big coins...
He carefully picked the other two up, and sure enough, it was two more Morgans... I said,," You luck dog....
The first coin recovered was in the best condition out of all of them and it was the 1886. Then out came the 1879, and the 1889. I got to tell ya,, I'm not going to kid him about getting skunked ever again... He just put my whole month to shame...
Hope ya all enjoy looking, I know I sure did... I think I was more excited about the find than he was...
Moma's calling me for supper, so I'll post my meager little finds later...
Good luck all, & Happy hunting~
