This last Dec. on a park hunt by myself I came up with a Morgan 1881 'o' , this was my 5th silver dollar.
Went out detecting with my wife a few days ago and I got a '47 rosie and she hadn't got anything yet, til we moved to another area and she nailed me good! It was a 1916 's' !!
Sat. got out by myself (she didn't want to go) so I hit the ground running, hopeing to out do her '16 and boy did I!! First thing I found just eyeballing was a 4" broken box link chain 14k. Then I got into a real muddy area and thought I hit on a sprinkler head, but decided to dig it anyway....dug down about 5or6" in the mud and and I could see a silver edge, pulled it out AND WOW!!
It was a PEACE DOLLAR...
I know everybody reads the red book and looks at the pictures and says I'd like to find.....this and that!
I couldn't remember which year was the best, 24 kept sticking in my mind, didn't find out til I got home that the dollar that I found was the best.
I looked for the mint mark hopeing it was an s, it had no mint mark, I thought bummer, then I looked in the red book.
The 1928 Peace Dollar has the lowest mintage: 360,649 .......That's the dollar I have!!
2 months and 2 silver dollars!! I can't believe it.
I have a total of 6 silver dollars now. 3 Morgan and 3 Peace.
