Updated cleaned up pics!!!

I'm stunned.
The street tear outs are still producing, a few wheats here, clad dimes there...the occasional silver keeps me going...then today happened.
The AT Pro sounded off a choppy 90-91-92 ..... Wierd. It wasn't clear or consistent, but I was intrigued. The target seemed big, so the dig began.....not expecting to see a clod of dirt, perfectly flat on one side, and round....and, big? I'd seen this before, when a coin is broken from its grave, there is that pretty flat dirt to the side of the coin...but not like this.
I reached into the hole, and I felt a big, round...???
OMG...did I just find big silver? I didn't try to ID it, as I was thinking this might be my best find ever...
I stood up, scanned the hole, and the signal was still there!
Slowly I fished out, another one?!?
Another, and another!!! I was like, this can't be happening. 5 minutes later my wife calls and says dinners ready....really?
In lieu of in situ pics, I did the best I could, still not sure what I found... image.webp
So the clean up was pretty intense, I dropped Holy bombs in shear joy and excitement as I saw what the beauties were....
1923 and 1925 Peace Dollars!!!
1921 and, the Belle of the ball...1889-0 Morgan's!!!

I had never found a dollar coin...today I found 4! Crazy! Oh, and also my oldest silver!(with a date).....
Now, I gotta read up how to best clean them, if I even decide to.

Thanks for looking!:hello:

Before I moved to MD, I sold all but one of my “Detected Coin Finds” to a buddy of mine….
Just shy of 400 silvers, and a thousand wheats.
It paid for my U-Haul, fuel, and lodging for the move, with a little left over. I ended up getting 2k for everything.
The one coin I kept was my 1864 Rupee from India…. Which is the craziest coin I’ve ever found.
