thanks all..
 
Someone was bummed when they lost that one!
 
1896 Nawlins mint. Nice find.

What detector do you use and what was the number on the screen? In the 80's?
 
AT Max...really i dont pay too much attention to number..not saying i dont use it...i pay more attention to the sound then i really do the numbers
 
Nice find. Not seeing the surrounding terrain, do you think that it was lost shortly after 1896? Can't focus on the pic, but what condition grade is it, how deep was it, details please on this history piece. Pic of obverse.
 
im not coin person so not sure about grade.. will send more pics. Found in a creek about 3in down 20190919_132216.webp20190919_132325.webp

FAN DOLLAR TASTIC

Congratulations on finding a silver dollar and welcome to the club! I bet you spend a little more time and that creek.
 
that sure does look perdy nice find
 
Super find! Probably blew the headphones right off your head.
 
it was a screamer..i only hunted that portion of creek for 20-30 min...water was spring fed where i was at and even though it was 90 outside it was too cold!!!
 
Waders and gloves!
 
now THAT coin was in the ground...nice score!
 
Nice find. I'm still looking for my first one.

Maybe a cache of them in that creek, keep looking!
