Skipping Class = FIRST SILVER!!!!

[diggergrl]

Hey all! I decided to skip class Friday (weather was nice- and who knows how many more nice days are left!) and go detecting with the BuckleBoy and HB. The day started out a bit rough; it took us about 2 hours to get permission for a site, a school house deep in the woods. We were getting pretty cranky fighting all the brush and digging up lots of big iron, but BuckleBoy got an Indian Head penny and after about half an hour I got one too. HB found a jewlery piece, and I kept hunting around where I found my penny. Next thing I knew I got a great signal and dug a plug. Out popped a MORGAN DOLLAR!!!!! I couldn't believe it was real, but I was still shaking when I took it over to show the crew. We didn't find much after that, and moved to a new site where HB found his Indian Head. The finds were pretty thin at this second site, with only a tiny piece of harmonica reed, some bent-up brass, and a horse buckle recovered. I didn't care much, since I was still thinking about the MORGAN DOLLAR that I had just dug, but we ended up leaving after a few more hours. I still can't believe that I finally got my first silver! I guess I should skip class more often.















Thanks for Looking!

Diggergrl, Yeah Baby , That's what I'm talkin about !!! That Morgan is very nice ! I haven't

seen a nicer one dug and posted on this site . There are plenty of folks who've been detecting for

20 years and more, who have never dug a Morgan (or a peace for that matter) Because they are

a rare find , and it's your first silver , and the condition is so sweet , and your pics are so good

I vote BANNER ! Argentium.

Holy schmoly, digger. What a beauty!

You will never forget your first silver. I still remember my first...it was a 1942 mercury dime at a cellarhole down the road.....four years ago. 8)

Sweet Jesus Molly that is a wonderful coin and the best silver I have ever seen come out of the ground in KY or anywhere else for that matter! I really wish I was there to share the moment with you. I'm sure you were smiling from ear to ear just like when Will found his first buckle. Out of all the crew I'm very happy to see you got your coil over it before the guys did! In my opinion you deserve it more than any of us because of all the hours you put in and all the junk you have dug to see silver finally in the dirt and for putting up with BB!!!!! I really am happy for you and proud also. You have learned so much in such a short amount of time. You do a wonderful job in the field and your enthusiasm reminds me of how I was in my first year of this wonderful hobby. That first silver was a tough one to get but I'm sure you will have many, many, more to come in your future. That I am sure of! Now skip another class and go get another one.

[Damon64]

whoa! I just stepped on my tongue!!! What a find! I am jealous, that is in super condition!!!!

 

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Ok, Ok.... Most people must not see this but this is a BANNER find... You don't see Morgans or Silver Dollars dug that much, It is in great shape and its your First Silver !! I say Banner for sure, sweet coin!!

Holly Crap !! My first silver was a 1957 Silver Rossie... That is a great find it will be hard to top that one...

Congratulations on a great first !!

Keep @ it and HH!!

 

[beetle662]

That is ONE sweet find!

Congrats! I'd certainly go back and poke around some more!

Congratulations on your First Silver, and Boy what a Silver find it was. Doesn't look like
it was too deep in the ground, looks like it was just under the leaves. That's why it probably
is in such good shape.

Again,Congrats!!

HH,Ringfinder

Wow, it's been a long time since I have seen a coin as nice as that one.....

Super congrats on finding such a beauty !!!!

You just don't see many silver dollars come out of the ground and when you do they never look as nice as yours.

Well done !!!!
