Whew I still can't believe it, I was out for less than an hour at our local high school when I got a hit coming in the high 90's on my AT PRO, big rusty items sometimes give this reading. My first thought was maybe a manhole cover covered with grass since the hits were shaping up to look like half a circle. I almost passed it by but then thought hell it might be a silver chain spread out like that, thank God I went for it. I stuck my shovel in the ground not to deep expecting to hit a big chunk of metal but it went in smoothly. So I popped the plug and I almost crapped myself when I seen this huge piece of silver staring at me, at first glance I though wow someone dropped a 1ounce silver bullion piece. So I picked it up and flipped it over and I saw it was a Morgan ;D. Now I'm pumped up and I knew there was more considering I was hitting this reading over a good size area, well I ended up pulling 2 more within a foot of this one. This is one of my best days ever.

The dates are a 1878-S, 1901-S,and a 1899-O. Sadly the first one I pulled I must of hit with my shovel, you can see a good size scratch on the top right corner :'(

Trust me I still can't believe it, I see some of the finds here and usually think to myself yeah BS, but now it happens to me :D
 
wow! I usually just find pennies at our school. congrats! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
 
WOW! That is awesome. I found 1 Morgan last year and I nearly passed out. If I found THREE at once I think my head might explode!!! :blob8:
 
This is an awesome find! The Morgan Dollar is my favorite American silver coin. Digging even one would be a spectacular find - but you gotz ya' three! Congratulations!

:wav:
 
That is amazing! 3 Morgans is one heck of a pocket spill!
Nice job! I pulled a dollar sized silver earlier this week and it sounded just like a sprinkler head and nearly didn't dig it but I'm glad I did.
Congratulations on a brilliant find!!

I know what you mean, I was about to pass it because I snapped a few of my diggers on water shut offs and hidden manhole covers over the years. I don't know how many of these targets I passed by before without digging them just because the target seemed to big to bother with, never again will I make that mistake.
 
Wow congrats on a triple Morgan!! Awesome :icon_thumleft:
 
Outstanding!!! :icon_thumright: :headbang: That's a super silver day right there! :thumbsup:
 
Wow, this is amazing...please post some more pictures :)

I was thinking that to considering they were only about 3-4 inches down, I hit this school about 5 times in the past with nothing older then a 1950's wheat cent. A block down is a guy who sells metal detectors so I'm sure he hit this school yard hard himself, I guess it was just my time to shine :laughing9:
 
Wow 3 in one hunt, awesome man, HH
 
Lovely! Congrats on that bevy of beauties! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:
