Hi Th'er's!
I started the day yesterday with 9 silver coins for the year, I decided it would be a good day to look for more because a couple of house sites had come up recently. The fist place was where a house had recently been torn down to make a driveway. It had already been heavily searched by another Th'er who had found some wheats and a mercury dime from the 40's. I knew he could'nt have found it all. After about 19 minutes I recieved a deep coin signal and about seven inches down I popped out a 1917-s merc,it was a nice start but except for some new change it was all I found here, silver coin #10.
I then went to the two abandoned houses across town,after a few new coins I found a wheat cent and then a silver War nickel a 1943-s(#11),after severeal wheat pennies I found a 1963-s dime(#12). No more silver was found but I did find 14 wheats, the best being a 1927-s and a 1930-s. The newest was a 1955-d. With no more house's to search I assumed I would find no silver so I went off to find some new change. I started searching around the local swimming pool and found several dimes and quarters,ending with 22 dimes and 20 quarters for the day. After the first few quarters the unusual happened; I recieved a large signal and at the bottom of the grass was what seemed to be a 1889 Silver dollar. It looked right but did'nt feel right,silver coin #13. Twenty minutes later I recieved another large surface signal and out popped a Franklin half dollar, a 1963-d, Silver coin #14 and five for the day. It's beyond me why these two large coins were recent losses.
When I got home I looked closer at the dollar, the word "copy" was there,who would want to copy a 1889 silver dollar,one of the most seen dates of morgans? Looking closer I saw the mint mark CC,now it made sense. I'm sure there is some silver in this copy,but what a strange day....Kane 23

I just made a post about a silver dime I got in the grass at a park. 
Congrats on an interesting hunt.
