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:

Oh man, this post reminds me of my super dreamy circus site that I have detected to death. I also found a Morgan, three Barber halves, and piles of silver dimes, IH pennies etc at my spot. I am envious of you, there are probably many more good things to find there! My spot is basically done, the last 20 hrs I spent there produced nothing.

How much time have you put in at your spot? Awesome finds!
 

Thats the kind of site we are all looking for !!! Congrats on sniffing out those goodies and that huge silver dollar !!!
 

I would quit my job and strip mine a site like that :D LoL, wow!
 

That's one heck of a hunt! Congrats!
 

Wow, its looks brand new. Great finds! thanks for sharing.
 

Great find, absolutely a great find. Congratulations!!!! I can only dream of finding one of those someday!

Congrats on a spectacular hunt. The Morgan just leaves me speechless...
 

That;s a great site. Nice finds & post. Silver Dollar is a prize find.
 

That is one heavy chunk of silver you found there, Yowsah! BTW, the in situ Morgan photograph was a gift you gave to all TNET viewers--Man it sure does my heart pumping! Thanks for taking the time to pull out your camera, and share the shot with all of us.

Helix that's some beautiful silver! Congrats bud
 

That's a great feeling. You got a great site. I found a Morgan last yr sticking half way out of the ground. I've only found three in 20 yrs of hard hunting.
 

I've only dug one Morgan in 22 years, and my wife has dug one since she started 8 years ago. GREAT stuff! Sounds like you've found a long lost picnic grove or similar site. Well done!
