Well i listened to the success everyone was having hunting parks...Soooooo....I decided to head up to Albany to Washington park.....We were only there 20 minutes when i got a nice +93 on my XLT....I did not expect it to be a real signal....I was expecting a tin can!!! Well 3.5 inches down i found this Highly worn 1922 S Peace dollar....My first EVER silver dollar!!! We scoured that area for another hour or so and only pulled 1 penny....sigh....So we hit the school where Nickel_buff1935 found his Merc and rosey in the same hole....He asked me to swing around that area and see what i got....Well after 3 or so minutes i hit a nice signal at 2 inches....I said...Well here is my silver....Just joking with him.....And wouldnt ya know out pops this Stunning 1964 Rosey covered with mint luster. I know it is not a valuable but silver none the less!!!!

Wow, Washington Park is still putting out the goods. ;D Nate and I took a road trip there last June. Got a seated dime and barber dime in the same hole. Found IH's and other stuff. Next day another guy pulled a 2 center from the area we were hunting. NY(Albany area)is such a great place to hunt. Anyplace we hunted there was old stuff. Wish we could have spent a week instead of a day and a half.

Congratulations on the Peace Dollar.

Digging a silver dollar is one of the most exciting finds to get, the site of it shining in the hole. I am really happy for you and thanks for sharing your inspirational story. Love that big silver!! Congrats!!

Worn coins just have more history! Just imagine all the places THAT coin has been..I'll bet your detector was really singing when the coil swept over that one..awesome find!
