Pulling up big silver at the old farm today

[BomberJohn]

Well, it was a beautiful day today here. Must have been around 70. Spent the entire day back at my farm. Got a lovely sunburn on the back of my neck and around the headphone on my right ear. (I only use one ear piece while I detect) Well, to make a long story short I pulled out a bunch of goodies today; the best being a 1878 Morgan Dollar (Philadelphia-8 tail feathers) in excellent condition, but stained. She's a heavy one.
Also, found a 1941 Mercury Dime, a 1911 (worn) V Nickel, a 1907 Indian Head penny, another flat button, a token (Starch Co.?), couple tack buckles, a colonial clay pipe piece (notice the "1" on the side and a backwards "21" on the little nipple piece), and a few other brass thingies.

Thanks for looking. HH

Hey John, Congrats on the silver dollar. I've never found one. I see you have a piece of clay pipe. I've been building a collection to put in a display case. Pretty kool stuff. Get some more! Hogge

Thanks Hogge,

The clay pipe piece appears to date from 1850 to 1910 per some info I dug up (MD humor) on the Internet. This dates well with the farm I was working because it officially became a farm around 1900. Guess I've got my first one for my clay pipe collection. LOL

The Morgan definitely my favorite find from the farm though. Along with the pre-Civil War militia button I found during the first weekend's hunt.

That has got to be just the coolest to pull out a silver dollar.
