MONSTER SILVER....Found the BIG SISTER to the 2 Barber halves from last week.

[silverfreak]

I'm heading to work because I have a 5:30 fitness training appointment...but I had to post this monster lady. I just got back about 45 minutes ago...and NO WAY I could go to work until I got the before and after pics...and posted this big old lady
I went back to the "Twighlight Zone" site that has now coughed up 10 coins...the newest date being the 1906 Barber Half last week.
It gave me about 2 hours of hunt time today before the interference took over again
I wasn't 30 minutes into the hunt when I got a very...and I mean very iffy silver hit...but the depth meter was buried. It only hit in one direction and from one angle..but it just sounded so sweet for that split second that I gave it a shot. Problem was that when I hit pinpoint...the cursor went straight upper left corner. I told you guys in my last post I was going back here and dig ANYthing that made a peep...and this one not only peeped...but it peeped like silver
I was able to pinpoint slightly even through the interference but I still dug a big plug because of the depth..and because of the amazing coins that I have already plucked from this crazy site. I dug a 9" deep plug and then prayed as I ran the probe....NULLSVILLE . Went ahead and switched over to pinpoint with the probe and sure enough...nasty old rusty nail. I just stuck it in my pouch. Oh well...no big deal cause' if you want the deepies...you gotta' take some chances. I went ahead and filled in the deep hole and was really disappointed because that slight peep sounded too good to fool me
Went ahead as I always do and re-swept the coil over the filled hole one more time before walking away...and BINGO This time the signal was a little more than a peep...and it hit from more angles. I RE-dug the plug to about 10"and ran the probe one more time. Man did it sing!
It blew my ears off at 10" down but still nulled out when I moved it off the center of the silver hit. I knew I had something good because of the way the probe sang and also the depth...even though it nulled off the center. I dug another big clod out of the hole as to be sure not to damage whatever it was. At this point I was a full 12" down...and the Lesche handle tip was parallel with the ground level.
I picked up the clod...and carefully removed some dirt...which exposed the tip of a big nail. I then removed some more dirt from around the nail and saw what we all dream about....a BIG SILVER rim. I thought..yippee...I got me another Barber Half...which would be my third in 10 days. I removed more dirt from the clod and boy was I WRONG! I first saw the rusty nail laying right accross the back left side of the big silver coin...then the hole clod just fell apart. Out pops a SILVER MORGAN DOLLAR from a foot deep. Good thing there was a restroom close by
What an unbelievable experience. I just had a feeling that after finding two barber halves...that there just might be more big silver hiding there. Not in my wildest dreams though...did I expect this monster silver lady. I truly can't explain the feeling I had when it popped out of the clod.
You can see in the pic...exactly where the big rusty nail was setting directly accross the back left side and through the word "America"...which explains the good hit...but then slight null.
It still amazes me that the SE hit this at 12" down with a first rusty nail 3" above it...THEN a second big rusty nail laying right on the coin.
Thank you all for sharing this with me.

Bryce, that's outstanding, I'm happy for you You need to have pics taken of you with all the great coins you dig, and put them with the ones you show us and eventually make yourself a journal with all these great stories to look back on.

Awesome find and a big congrats on your Morgan.

Man, you are in the zone. I hope someday to strike big silver like that.

 

[silverfreak]

Beautiful coin and congrats on you find. The name "Silverfreak" just took on a new meaning

Thanks CJH

I'm impressed!! Congrats on finding the Big Lady!! Super sweet and very nice!!

Thanks Jack

Awesome Job !!

I can't find a large silver to save my life. My Hunting partner found 3 or so this season already. I can't dig one at all, it kinda sucks. Oh well, I will find one and when I do it will be a seated or bust....

Again nice find!!

Keep @ it and HH!!

Thanks Mud. You're right buddy. When you find one...I hope it IS a seated or bust

That is very sweet. It sounds like you had a good, hard fought dig for the prize, and that always helps.

Nice touch on leaving a bit of rust on it. I think a silver coin with a good rust stain gives you some bragging rights.

Thanks plehbah. Yup...me too I have no interest in ever selling anything I find. I value the memories too much. I can always look at this baby and remember exactly where the nail was

your finds are amazing.

Thanks dugdigger

 

[silverfreak]

Beautiful, My only cartwheel was about 12" or more with my SE also. Dont know for sure, as i was so excited i still dont know if I rechecked the hole. Great find SF

Thanks T.C.

Unbelievable.... Great find!!! 12" to pay dirt! That is impressive!!! I'd be lucky to find a coin 7" down with my machine..... Seeing your excellent finds really makes me want to make a new purchase..

Thanks jraven

Bryce , You are the Tiger Woods of Metal detecting , you never cease to amaze , and you always deliver

the goods . I am just stunned at the results you are getting with that SE. If i did'nt believe that i could still

grow into my MXT , I'd probably go get an SE right now. Keep up the great finds ! Gregory, Santa Fe.

Thanks Gregory. I've heard nothing but GOOD things about the MXT. It's a deep seeking critter

A super find Silver
That Morgan is sweet

Thanks Merf

Great job you freak of silver. I see you are living up to your namesake.
Chris

Thanks Chris. From your last post I can tell you three fellers are sure to pull some more colonial goodies out.

 

[silverfreak]

I've only found 1 full-sized dollar coin ever, an '82 clad Ike, and *that* was an unusual find.
It's that much more rare to dig up a Morgan!

You can probably spare one of the Barber halves now, plz snd 2 me via T-net, thx ever so.

I'll see what I can do Admiral

Wow Bryce, what an amazing find!

I just know you are going to end up grid searching and digging all iffys at the twilight zone. Can't wait to see what else is in there. Thanks for all of the details about the nails, etc, good tips for a new SE user

Congratulations and HH, Mark

Thanks Mark. At this point...there's no more high hits. Probably won't be postin' much silver for a while. I am going to go back before long and start working the "no fun" low hits which is something I never do.

Ummmm --

MOOOOORGANNNNNNN !!!

Silver , I am IMPRESSED yes SIR !! Those two BArber Halves were SWEET , The Morgan is the icing on the silver cake !!

A SUPER Conrats !!!

I wanna see more after your next hunt !!

Derek

thanks Derek. Might be a while before I get back there...but I need to start working the low hits now.

you sir are a SILVER WHORE

Thanks EDDE

Very, Very Nice...I've been hunting for almost 30 years, and still no detected silver dollar. What's wrong with this picture?
HH,
MT
Tom

But a dozen Double Eagles should make up for it.



Excellent find!

Thanks buddy

 

[silverfreak]

that is a beautiful coin...

Thanks Allen

Very Sweet! I hope I can experience the feeling someday. It's always more satisfying when the coin is one of those deep iffy signals.

Bob

Thanks Bob. I'm sure you'll pop one out before long buddy It only took me 30 years

very nice find... I'm new to coin grading.. is this what would be considered AU since the liberty is bold an the ridges in the rims are still there?? thanks for answering my question

Thanks Creeper. No...it's real nice...probably VF or so...but it has a slight rim ding on the bottom

Sweet find my Brother!!!!

Thanks Don

awesome great find

Thanks buddy.

Dang! What a coin! That's some HUGE silver!
I'm still waiting for my first Morgan. (if ever)
That had to "freak you out" even more than the barber halfs! lol.
Great find. Congrats!

Thanks BK. Yep...it sure did

Good job! However the barber halves are worth more...Kane23

Thanks Kane23. I never worry about what a coin is worth. It doesn't matter to me whether it's worth 50 cents or $50...I just like diggin' silver.

You are leading a charmed life silverfreak. It doesn't hurt either that you are so "in tune" with your machine and willing to be patient with thos iffy signals. Nice work. - Jim

Thanks unclejesse67. I hope you get to see a big silver rim in the hole too. I waited 30 years to see this one.

Awesome find and a big congrats on your Morgan.

Nat

Thanks Nat. I've been really lucky to finally be able to hunt this place. I just knew there had to be stuff there because nobody could ever get a detector to function there. I'm confident I got all the high silver hits there are to get. Heck I even dug a couple of holes when the SE didn't even peep Now I'm going to make short trips there when I can and dig all the low conductor hits that are 6" or more deep.

WOW !!!!! Thats awesome Bryce !!!! Congrats on a super find.I think I would get a tent and camp out over that spot and dig all night. Have a good one and good luck on your next hunt.

Thanks G. I've done been a campin' already brother. Now I have to do the NOT fun part of diggin' the low hits.

Thanks Jim. Chasing iffy hits is how most of my better finds pop out.

 

[Lt1stone]

[ivan salis]

[TN-Joe]

Bryce,
Ill take the nail.lol Congrads on the "Big Boy"
Nice condition, with a mintmark-excellent.

[pointdlr]

Those are super discoveries. I can't seem to find a silver half, but my hunting partner has pulled out a couple right in front of me. I'll dig a Rosie at 13", but run right over a half at 2".
