After 20 years, it finally happened

[mountainplayer]

Do you know how many dollar signals I've gotten over 20 years detecting? Enough to give me trust issues, that's how many.

This last Sunday, the dollar signal was a actual silver dollar! Poorly struck, but in decent condition. It's a 1900S. Sorry for the crappy photos.

This was my first silver coin with my new Manticore. Not much of a test as it was only 4-5" deep.

Well ya finally did it sir.... GOOD JOB.

I found a 1900 one in Michigan on the edge of a modern new driveway. How it got their in this open field is beyond me.

I’ve been detecting off and on since 1970-71. I’ve yet to find a $1 coin. Congratulations on a real feat. 👍🏼

Something about that monkey on my back, I'll never shake it off.

They don't have to be deep to be good! Congratulations!

That's awesome. Besides a gold coin of course, a Morgan has been on my digging wish list since I first started 50 years ago. Still haven't found one though. Big congrats to you!

That is one big beautiful piece of US silver. Congratulations on finding your first silver dollar!!!!

I'll never find one of those, since I only detect at the beach.

It's entirely up to you but if you do decide to clean the Morgan ...
I've cleaned several badly iron stained Silver coins with a short soak in a Electrolysis Bath.
Or you could take it to a Coin Shop and have them dip it in "Coin-Solve" or similar.

personally, I wouldn't touch it. It has a lot of character and looks like a dug silver coin should look!

It was 97-98. Trace was a dot on the far right.
