Decided to take my new Garret out on its 2nd hunt today (7 hrs) hit a location I will refer to as the "Bathhouse", while I nailed $6.46 in clad and a few oddities, my biggest surprise is the amount silver I found...

First Silver was this 1943 Merc that's in spectacular condition for being in the ground for over 70 years

Then I nailed a few oddities...

Care for a Fitch & Cornwell 146 year old mint, you know its "For the breath"

What I think is a Clicquot Champagne bottle top?

Some creepy metal piece..

...as daylight is diminishing, I got this solid hit at 5-6 inches..

Silver in the hole..turned out to be 3 Morgans and 3 Peace Dollars...also oddly a 1960 Ben

after a little bit of dusting off..here are the morgans

I'd call that a BANNER day ! - while no single Morgan or Peace dollar would rate a Banner vote (unless it was a key date) I think
six of them is a small cache - silver dollar caches are a rare find indeed !
