I hunted my next door neighbors for about an hour tonight . Hit the two
lawns (weedpatches like mine ) nothing. Hit the third smaller lawn and things started happening .2 clad dimes , 2 wheats , 1 memorial ,1 car wash token and the best of all a very worn 1900 Morgan ( at first mistakenly identified as an 1880) .It hit a solid 37 on the Nox . This is my second Silver Dollar ( both Morgans ) of my metal detecting career . I was going to post what I had found for this year ( not so great) but I will post the other stuff at a later date . I just washed this with dishwater detergent and I will clean it no further as it is already worn enough . Needless to say this coin has made my year .Prior to this my only other coins of note were a dateless, worn Buffalo Nickel , 2 Rosies 1947+1957 and about a half a dozen common date wheats . A very exciting evening for me indeed !
Sorry the pictures didn't come out too cool , I never got around to buying a newer , more forgiving camera .
