sweet silver !!

[allen]

Me and my 12 year old detected an older
home close to where I lived in Bagdad and
didnt find alot, but something id only found
two of ever, popped up out of one of my plugs,
a 1879 "O" mint Morgan dollar !!!
It was about 7 or so inches deep and turned out
pretty nice for a 130 year old coin
Found several clad coins and a 1950 wheatie also.

That is WAY better than 100 wheaties.

Yeap, 100 indians. Wheaties came later.

That's a beautiful morgan allen. Nice detail left on that one. I think it's one of the more beautiful american coins.

You are right about that. Actually that could also be 10 Seated dimes, 4 Seated quarters, 2 Seated half dollars, 2 Seated quarters and 1 Seated half dollar, or 43 Indian Head pennies, a 2 cent piece, a shield nickel, 4 Seated dimes and 2 Seated half dimes.

The list goes on and on. The Morgan dollar is definitely a choice find.

I would be happy to find any of the above mentioned.

Again, that's a beatiful coin allen.

Congrats on your first Morgan, Allen. You are one of the nicest posters on this forum and many others would agree.

[SkyPirate]

It's strange that you found a US coin that old in Iraq

 

[Sniffy]

I would much rather find a nice morgan dollar like that than a Large Cent any day. I'm sure your large cent will be strolling along shortly.

Got my 1st Morgan, 1892s last year, boy was i pumped. I have worn that spot out trying to get another!!!! Great Digs!!!!!!

 

[allen]

The funny thing is the first trip
to this site all I uncovered was
a single clad quarter.
Id been wanting to detect this
site and only gained permission
about a month or so ago.
Thanks for the comments and
for looking at my post !

Congrats on the big silver, Allen. I have yet to find a silver half and am trying to be realistic in shooting for any half first. ... but don't get me wrong, if I found a Morgan, I wouldn't need a message board, .... you'd be able to hear me in Bagdad (Iraq or KY) LOL.
I have a question though. Was your 12-year-old hooked before that find? If not, I'm sure she is now. Way to go!

 

[Lookin]

Sweet silver find in the Bluegrass!!! Way to go and I hope you find many more in 2010!!
