Put a little MORGAN SILVER in pocket

[materdigger1]

Was swinging the coil in a wooded area near an old sunken road bed in some very soft dirt - got a very faint weak 12-42 hit on the CTX - kept swinging and signal was very weak but was repeatable (using Gonehunting's open combined settings) - the dirt was very soft - lo and behold at bout 12" deep found these two morgan siver dollars touching each other standing up on edge - that's why the weak faint signal I guesss. One is an 1883-S and the other is 1889 no mint mark. I have learned over and over - learn your machine and dig all repeatable signals. Happy dance for about 5 minutes - coverd the area all around like Sherlock Holmes but nothing else to be found.

Wow, bring out the oxygen. I would probably have needed CPR. Great find. Still lusting after a silver dollar. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That is an amazing find! I could not imagine pulling one Morgan out of the dirt much less two in one hole! You did well, Congrats!

Congrats on your Morgans! I found an 1896 Morgan a couple of years ago, and although it's not my most valuable coin find, it might be my favourite! Finding 2 in the same hole is a killer find!

Very nice find. I have a 1882 morgan and i think its my best coin. I didnt find mine in the ground but in the coin pan of a $1 slot machine in reno.

Most would go thru their lives and never dig a silver dollar. Let alone twins!

Great save!

HH!

Thanks Whadifind

Grats on your finds, how did the area look around the spot you found them ? Could have been an old campfire where people hid their coins during the night. Odd how to coins remained stuck together but it isn't the first time.

Congrats on the sweet finds! Way to go
on the weak repeatable signals too, A lot
of people will just pass them on by, And
lose a lot of good finds...............HH

That's my Holy Grail.

But two! Awesome!

I loved these things as a kid; you can flip them with your thumb and get a nice ringing sound as they fly up in the air.

They largely disappeared from circulation in the 50s, but you could still pick these up at the bank occasionally a bit after that.

I'd say from the dates that the loss preceded that; maybe from the turn of the century to maybe 20s?
