First off, let me start by saying, im still sorta freaking out about it.

I honeslty NEVER expected to find one of these, which I sorta accepted , Because I could never understand how someone could actually lose this and not notice it.


Anyway….Meet up with Jcobb on Sat, it was another hot and humid day.

We decided that we were gonna try and get some Gold from this old ball filed. Either of us had found Gold this year, So we tried to stay focused on digging those targets.


It was wild, not 5 minutes had gone by, and my SECOND Target was a 10k little Gold Pendant! I couldn’t believe it,

So I was off wondering around, pretty much cherry picking because I figured, “Hell, I got some gold” lol

I was making my way across the park to get a drink, when I got pretty much my first high tone.

It was reading 94-95. I remember thinking “ Yay, Another Soda Can bottom”


I was digging around and totally mis pinpointed it, I ended up digging a hole on each side of it, which made me think…TRASH!!

So then my dumbarse just starts plucking away trying to get it out…then I suddenly saw the rim of it

At this point, I thought it was a token or something, until I saw that eagle on the back.

I SERIOULSY felt like I was about to get sick, I ran (at full speed) to my hunting buddy to show him, I was shaking and out of breathe, still feeling sick.

I handed it to him, and he thought it was a pocket watch..lol

I never knew how I would felt IF I were to find one of these, but my feelings went from , feeling sick to my stomach, to having the worst headache of my life..lol

My brain was in Overload!!!!!...and still is

Anyway,

It turned out to be a 1922 Peace Dollar, with words scratched on it. I think it say on the backside “ To JR..Love” and the Front looks like it has “Larry” scratched on it.

Either way, I will take that sucker in a heartbeat. I did hit it with the digger a bit, but really could careless..lol

This is a word to you ALL…DIG THOSE BS TONES!!!.

I seriously have passed tones like this in the past thinking “ Yea right”


THESE ARE OUT THERE!!!!!!

Now that is a pair of fantastic finds. Big congrats, DND! Like you, I think the same way about silver dollars- how could anyone lose them? I also wrote off finding one... So I actually bought one! I hope you find more- good luck on your next hunt.
 

Awesome......dig it all...get it all!
 

Great find! Probably used for the coin toss by a referee on the field.
 

man, that's awesome. I wish I could find a freaking peace dollar. congrats!

Our friend Mister G just went out and found a tree coin instead :-) ahhhhhhhh some day. Some day. That Peace dollar is a great great find. Congrats
 

First of all CONGRATS!!!! I understand your excitement, I dug a 1928 Peace dollar last summer. Still hold it and look at it once a week.
 

Absolutely AWESOME- congrats! Still looking for my first..

Continued success to you!

All I can say is, wow! Awesome find!
 

Congratulations buddy, that is a great one to cross off of your list!

What did the pendent ring in at? Foil or nickel range?

It actually rang up as a Nickel (51-52) it was rather small. It only weighed 0.6grams

This I can say is the ONLY time i ever found Silver that trumped my gold find

Thank you!

its funny you say that. I havent had that coin leave my person since I found it. I woke up this morning with it stuck to my back from being in my pocket..lol...I got issues :occasion14:

Thanks again everyone!!
 

Quite awesome! Those Peace Dollars are beautiful amd I always admire them.

Is that a Marian medal? Did the Blessed Mother help you find your Peace Dollar? O_O
 

That is totally awesome, dude! :occasion14: I bet you dig every signal like that from now on! lol
 

i think if i ever see a silver dollar in the bottom of a hole i'd pee my pants!!
 

Great finds, I love how the adrenaline almost made you puke, and you didn't even know it was adrenaline that made you feel like that! Great find, I could not help notice it is the exact same 1922 D that I found a few weeks back. It still amazes me how big, thick and heavy it is. I keep mine with me still, almost a day doesn't go by I'm looking at it and showing people it.
