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!!!!!!
