I don't get to hunt alot, but I try to make sure I am on the oldest sites everytime I go. This field site has been good to me and I knew if I lurked there enough, I might get lucky. After a couple hours of nothing significant, I finally got an iffy signal that was worth checking out. Once the initial dirt was removed the signal hit a little better and then I spotted her. Can't explain my excitement and was pleased with the condition even though it has a couple small scratches. Lucky the plows didn't tear her up after all of these years. It is going to be tough for me to beat this coin in Michigan. I have found older coins but these old silver coins are few and far between. Thanks for looking. I may try to get some better photos in the daylight tomorrow.
