Found this beautiful 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar about 3 to 4 inches down in a field about 100 yards fram an 1800's plantation house in Alabama. Fairly good condition with a New Orleans Mint Mark. It was found using my At Pro with a NEL Storm Coil...I will have to say it was a good day. Can wait to get back to that field and see what else I can come up with.

Imagine what a loss that was in 1885 $$.
