BIG Silver

[Ronzie]

I posted some pretty good finds last week from a old farmstead I've been hunting. Went back a couple of days ago and only found a couple of pennies from the 60's. This morning I was up early and decided to head back over.
I used my small 5.75" coil this time as the area I was doing was weedy, plus I haven't used it this year yet.
So I ended up with another wheat penny (1945), 2 Canadian cents (1961, 1928 in rough shape) a silver 1957 dime and the best find, a 1965 Canadian silver dollar. My second ever silver dollar. That baby measured 8" to 8 1/2" deep in the hole. My personal best find of the year so far.

I thought I was lucky with my 1965 Canadian dollar I found at a yard sale for a quarter.

Yours is an amazing find! Congratulations

Wow, what a hunk of silver that is. Nice find! Were silver dollars still used in circulation in Canada in the 60s or was it more of a collectors item?

I'm not sure. I was born in 1965 and I've personally never seen one in circulation.

They were 80% silver until 1967, and the large Canadian dollar coins circulated normally.
