Large Silver on a Cold Rainy Day

[Professor of Engineering]

Hello Everyone,

The weather has not been very good for detecting lately combined with the end of the semester craziness; I’ve been not able to play in the dirt. Today, it was raining most of the day, hard at times, but I was hoping for a bit of time to swing the stick. The rain stopped around 2:00 pm and I was out the door to this old park. I was able to hunt in a new area exposed by the winter season (actually part of the original park) until the heavens once again poured down upon me. I found the usual junk, some clad and then a screaming sound on the Minelab Explorer SE. It was one of those sounds that could be large junk (can lid…etc.) or a killer find; it turned out to be a very well worn 1889O Morgan Dollar. I did manage to scratch the coin a bit while recovering it, but at least I didn’t ding it with the digger!

I’m hoping that this was not the last hunt of the year, but only time will tell.

Thanks for looking.

GL & HH

Doc

Man oh man, you have been killing it this year! Most folks would be content to chill with some java on a cold rainy day but, NOT the Professor! Way to get after it and hit PAY DIRT! You earned that HUGE old silver slab. Well done mate!

That monster sized silver is a great find man. Most of the time something that large and silvery doesn’t stay lost for long. Congrats!

Wow Doc...You got me drooling into my Cheerios this morning! That is a fantastic coin. What a way to wrap up the season. Based on all of your threads, looks like you were quite successful this year " playing in the dirt". Big, Big Congratulations.
