Now that's what you call beginner's luck. Some people (myself included) will go their whole life detecting and never find a Morgan or Peace dollar.

Congrats to your wife.
 
Wow, that couldn't have been the worst thing to find the first time out, imagine the expectations now in future hunts! :tongue3:


Beautiful find! :thumbsup:
 
What a first find ! The only thing wrong with it is she set the bar so high on the first find . Argentium.
 
Great find, and you'll never get "the look" again when you want to go detecting, because she'll be right there with you! :thumbsup:
 
LOL at least you wont have to worry about getting time off to do some detecting anymore.

I don't know wheather to congratulate her or feel sorry for her. :icon_scratch: I hope she finds more of them. :thumbsup:

Wow! :o Hope she hasn't set the bar too high for next time. Congrats to her on an awesome find. :thumbsup:
 
Wow, it took me over 20 years to find my first and only silver dollar! And I found it in Carp, Minnesota of all places, at an old abandoned school. My Mom's husband went hunting deer up there and I detected.
 
Your wife needs to go buy a lottery ticket this week!! ;D

Many md'ers detect many hours over their lifetime and never find a Morgan!!

Major congrats to your wife!! :thumbsup:
