My 2nd silver dollar

[steelheadfever]

I have hunted several new areas the last couple of days. Yesterday I found the usual clad along with some odds and ends, and today was about the same and I found a silver charm bracelet with a Texas Armadillo trinket on it. It was hot and the mosquitoes were vicious even though I had lots of skeeter dope on, so after about an hour I decided to bag it. On my way home I saw that there was some construction going on near a railroad depot in town. They were skimming dirt off the surface for what ever reason. I had permission to detect in this area so I decided to give it a try. In a small area I found 3 Indian head pennies, a mercury dime, a V nickel and much to my surprise I found my second silver dollar, a 1896 Morgan, which is in great shape. As I was leaving I talked with a store owner. He told me that a guy had detected the site yesterday and he had recovered a silver dollar and two Barber Halves. I don't recover a lot of silver coins, so I was grateful for my silver finds today. HH Dennis in Idaho

Sweet finds. BTW, you better be glad that armadillo is made of metal, you don't want the real thing up there in Idaho.
