I cut out of work early today to go detecting in downtown Eugene Oregon. I dug a pile of clad and a few wheat cents, but I also dug my silver coin #3 for the year ~ a 1964 Rosie dime . . . . and silver coin #4 for the year a 1880-CC Morgan Dollar!!! This is the first Morgan dollar I have ever dug! And, it is also the first Carson City mint coin I have ever dug! WOOHOO ~ TREASURE!!!

WOW................ I think I would have fainted. A silver dollar, and a CC to boot. I'm still looking for one, although I did find a piece of a silver dollar. You can see the top of her head, and read ONE DOLLAR on the reverse. Congrats on a super find and now I hope you find a gold coin :).
HH everyone
 

THANK YOU!! Yes, it was a rush!

Oh, I did dig 2 gold coins in 2007 ~ a 1868 $10 gold piece, and a 1910 $10 gold piece! Now THAT was a rush!!!

Congrats on your first dollar, still looking myself after 45yrs and on the top ten most wanted dream.

I'm not even close on knowing coinage, but I'll throw this one out there I think this dollar is a 1880 CC Rev 78 type.

Great find.... must have been a real adrenalin rush!:occasion14:
 

Back in the 80s I followed and old Stage coach line for one of the big cities to a smaller town....found a total of 9 morgans and other silver....never dug one since.....Good for you...I know the excitement
 

Awesome. All my finds this year are puny!

That's one fine Morgan dollar and congrats
 

awesome silver, it always seems like when you least expect it, you find something that takes your breath away. congrats
 

Congrats on getting the BIG one... they just get any bigger and badder than that! GL&HH.
