Got out nice and early today but still had to fight the 90 degree heat which wasn't much fun. I decide I was gonna hit two different schools that were out a ways. I went to the first school and through research I found that the entire sports areas were built over parts of an old village. I decided I was gonna work a big loop around the outskirts of the soccer fields first. As I started to move along the trees I noticed a few very old rock walls in the woods. I proceeded in the field area about a foot out from the tree line. On my fourth target I got a nice crisp 93-95 on the At Pro. I was thinking either a nice silver ring or a couple of quarters stacked. I dig my plug about 4 " deep flip it over and nothing. I stick the pin pointer in there and signal is still in the hole. I dug down about a total of 6" and start to clear the soil out and I see a big round disc. I was now thinking it was one of those heads/tails large soccer coins. I reached in and pulled it out and was amazed I saw 1889. It was my second MORGAN DOLLAR I have ever found. I found the first about 2 years ago. This simply made my entire day. I do not go out in search of older coins as I enjoy the modern clad and jewelry. I have found my fair share of older and something like this is really outstanding. Yes I did mark the back with the lesche digging her out.
After finding this I thought maybe I should move a little slower and did just that. I spent about 5hrs out today and gathered up $7.41 in clad a .925 earring and a couple of pieces of a junk bracelet and a junk chain. I never did make it to the second school which was ok with me with the heat. Finding the Morgan was just as fun as digging a nice gold ring...Hope all had a successful weekend...HH !
