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 :headbang:
Found several clad coins and a 1950 wheatie also.

Wow! That coin is in great shape for a 131 year old coin!!
 
Holy smokes, Allen, That's one sweet lady and even nicer when you could share the hunt with your daughter.
 
Way to go! Congratulations on such a sweet find the first of many I hope.
 
This is the first coin id ever found
from the New Orleans mint and I
dont think it couldve been a better
looking coin !!
Thanks for looking and commenting !

Thank you Kell !!
 
Awesome job on the silver! I am not trying to burst your bubble, but I would check to make sure it is not counterfeit. I hear counterfeit silver dollars are popular these days. Especially Peace Dollars and Morgan dollars.
 
Congrats on the Morgan. Great find. Ron in IL.
 
holy mackerel! thats one awesome coin Allen! one i dream of finding someday! Id like to have been there when you found it!
a big congrats pard!
 
Amazes me that somebody could lose something that big...I always wonder what the circumstances were that caused something that large to end up out of view and eventually buried! Very nice! Congratulations. :hello2:
 
Congrats on the big old silver.
 
Wow,

That is nice. They don't get found often.
