First find of the year--one is a Morgan

[Fishing4coins]

I had about an hour to hunt before dark and I hunted for about 30 minutes and found a 1850 large cent. I was hunting my way back to the truck to head home and I had a huge signal. I knew it couldn't be a pop can because this former log cabin site is about 2.5 miles from the closest road.

I dug the hole and I was surprised to see my first Morgan dollar. It is an 1889 Morgan silver dollar in good condition.

I have been checking this forum site and reading everyone's posts for over a year now. When I found my first Morgan dollar, it made me man up and want to write my first post. This is my second year metal detecting and this is my best find yet.

(I hope the pictures come out to be the proper size. I'm sorry if they're not.)

Yeah, I guess I'd sign up to this place so I could brag too. Glad you decided to be a contributor instead of one of the leeches that only take from the forum. Now that you've broken the ice, give us some more goodies from this interesting sounding site.

This site is the log home of a grandfather of president and it has gave up some great pre 1860 coins the Morgan is the newest date I have found there.

Congrats on the LC and the Morgan. I have been detecting 30 years and have never found a silver dollar. Lets see what else you found there!

Wow...Outstanding finds! I would love to dig a silver dollar. Its gotta be a great feeling to see a Morgan looking up at you from the bottom of a hole. Congratulations, and welcome!
