I was just looking for silver dimes...honest

[Ray in CA]

And I came away with BIG SILVER!!!!!!!

I went back to the site in the mountains where last Saturday I found my three old wheat pennies (and Palmolive-Peet soap token) and wound up finding my first Morgan dollar, dated 1921 and with EXCELLENT detail! Naturally I thanked the Lord profusely for such a great find. I continued my search without any further results, however, other than a 1920 wheatie and some modern pennies.

I began my search by setting my disc down to foil and digging every good target. When I came across the dollar I thought it was an aluminum can and almost didn't dig! Glad I did though!!

Enjoy the pics.

It's like finding 10 silver dimes at once! Awesome find by the way.

I've dug one silver dollar and a few halves. It's remains almost unbelievable that someone could lose things so heavy and so big (compared to dimesand pennies that is).

Anyway...super find. WOW!

Thanks everyone!

Despite a few nicks this coin could not have been in circulation very long as it cleaned up BEAUTIFULLY. I'll have to post some pictures of it tomorrow so you can see just how pretty and shiny it came out after a gentle cleaning.

Dan, I haven't been on Kinzli for a while but this coin is worth posting there!
