Couple Hrs Hunt today came home with 1804 Silver Dollar!!!

[NorCal 6er]

Went out this morning for a couple of hrs, still sore from yesterday but just wanted to get my fix for the day.
found 2 wheats 1955d, 56s and lots of clad 5 qtrs, 8 dimes, bunch of mem pennies, 1 nickel not sure what happened to that?
a little tag that says Thank You on its made of brass the top of a flag poll and some pull tabs gatta have those..
I could tell it was going to be a good hunt when I first got there because I found 26 clad dimes and 5 mem pennies in about a 2 foot square area just under the powder dirt right next to a fence post, cache or pocket spill??
well about the middle of the hunt I started checking the other fence posts and inbetween the post about 30 feet from the spill I get a nice solid hit dig down about 2" silver in a plastic case HOLY CR@#
took a short look at it see 1804 I'm shaking put it in my pocket checked the rest of the fence digging all sigs just more clad.
5 min drive only took 1 min. got home try for 10 mins to get the case open when I did looking at the coin mint condition then I look at the back on the shield is stamped "COPY" s@%$.
It is copper I think on the edge you can see it, also on the edge is stamped "AM 00962" not sure what that means?
Oh well had my heart pumping for a little bit, still a nice find..
here is a site fo that coin the real one.

Even though the coin was a copy, it sure looked real. I think my heart would have skipped a beat also.
Nice find.
I think I would have been checking most of those fence post also.

A cool dig good for a serious heart workout. I know the feeling, found a fake gold coin the other day, but enjoyed the rust of it anyway. You just never know what will come out of the ground next. Good luck to you!

Smiles!
