Detector(s) used
grand master hunter cx2 ,,. , fisher 1235x 1236x2, 2 coin computers, garrett freedom 3.
my back yard has been a mystery to me ever since i moved here. last year i was weeding my garden . i pulled some weeds up and out popped a 1919 mercury dime. now i have detected all over my back yard. no silver till that dime. next day i took my cz7 out in the garden and sure enough. a 58 roosevelt. today i was checking the ground for frost and realized it isnt frozen anymore. im in ohio. anyway, i thought ,, im gonna try out a new roto tiller i just got. i didnt till it last fall. it wasnt too cold today so what the heck. i pushed the tiller over to the garden. fired it up and procedded to teach that dirt a lesson. about 30 minutes later. it looked pretty good. the tiller worked great. i put the tiller back in the garage. went in and got a cup of coffee. i went back out to the garden. i noticed a piece of string from last years tomato plants. i stepped in to get it,and.. WHAT IS THAT/ laying on top of the end of the string that i was going to throw away was. !!!!the reason i was thinking about the garden today was my daughter ordered a burpee seed catalog and we were ordering all our supplies. .. back to the story. right on top of the piece of string was a 1921 s morgan dollar. gleaming in the little bit of sun that there was. great condition. i cleaned it up and it would be in ex. fine condition. but it looked like someone ran over it with a rototiller. probably the last guy that lived here :icon_scratch:

The best I ever did in my garden was til up gold charm. Cogradulations on the nice find. HH.....
 
Great find sounds to me like the tiller needs to expand the garden a lil more.
 
i have to say. its the biggest coin i ever dug. at first i thought it was a hubcap :dontknow:
 
Now that u have worked the ground now would be a great time to detect. There might be more than that nice one
Great find :icon_thumright:
 
The last guy that lived there ,never realized that big silver was hiding in the yard.. :( ,still a great find :thumbsup:
 
Very nice coin. Neat story.
:icon_sunny: HH in 2010 :icon_sunny:
 
Hey nice find...
Perhaps you need to take the tiller with you next time you go detecting...
Anyway you may have mistyped but that is a Morgan Dollar you have pictured. Finding a silver dollar is always a rare good delight :icon_thumleft:
 
Congrats on the BIG girl! Breezie
 
that is a sweet looking girl, I'm kind of jealous now.. :notworthy:
 
to bad it wasnt a piece dollar!! that would be worth some bucks. willy
 
sorry. sorry. morgan dollar. told you i was confused when i found it. its just so big, when 99 percent of the coins you find fall in the penny /dime size range, and then you get one this size. it kinda blurs your mind :help:
 
Congrats. Awesome find.
