One of my best hunts ever! Morgan, Barber, V Nicks, and IH's, pile of rings!

Headed back to the spot I found the 10 Ih's and three Barber dimes this afternoon. To make a long story short started pulling Ih's and V nickels some cool relics. Silver thimble, cuff link, some busted Hutch tops with stoppers (for those who know bottles). Found my 4th Barber dime from this site. 1899. Now this area must held carnivals because I found 16 gold plated rings. All in a 20' square area. At that point I had already deiced the title of my todays finds would be "Found 16 rings today" lol! Anyway so it started getting late and I decided to make a swing around the outside perimeter of this site and BAMM! solid 88 on the DFX. Im thinking ok this is it,,, come on barber quarter! I dig a large plug down about 7" tip it out and go over the hole, nothing its in the plug. So I break the plug apart and see just enough of the reeded edge to see it bigger then a dime. Then I do a double take and start thinking its a half. Then it hits me that I have just found a Morgan!! YES:headbang:!!!! So enough talk here are the photos. 008.webp 009.webp 010.webp 011.webp 012.webp The Barber dime. 002.webp Lastly the Morgan pics.003.webp 004.webp 005.webp 006.webp 007.webpIt is in fact a 1890 mint mark O. 013.webp 014.webp I am one happy camper. :laughing7:

Rings were just plated, still cool though.
 
Congrats on some nice old finds, especially the coins. Really enjoy the in-situ pictures. Yea it sounds like it might have been a old fairgrounds, should be lots more there.
 
Alas, I have envy....

Well, I've found a dollar coin too :( A Susan B :(

Beautiful Morgain!!!
 
I like to toss and turn, before falling asleep, and thinking what it would be like to find a Morgan...

She is a beauty!!!...Congrats to you....:notworthy:
 
I just can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said already except it doesn't get much better than this. Wow and congratulations on a super hunt.
 
The Morgan is one of those coins that i can probably say I'll never find, but you never know. Awesome job. The way you are pulling the finds you might find a few more.
 
Really awesome Silver dollar!! really great shape! Nice finds enjoy the moment, we work hard for those moments!
 
great finds, love the penny whistle.
 
The spoon looks like the Palatina pattern by Wallace Silversmiths. Although the Wallace handle is more rounded and yours is more pointed.

Ohh I stopped for a six pack on my way home!
 
Toss that in the treasure chest!
:skullflag: :blackbeard: :tchest:
 
Amazing hunt. Going to be tough to top that one! Congrats!
 
I can hardly imagine a day like that - I'd have been stopping for the six pack after the first Indian Head cent ! Large silver dollars are special finds !!!
 
Fantastic! Well done!
That is one beautiful coin.
 
wow, I can't imagine that many exciting finds, I would be like a little kid running to the next hole and asking what's next?
