Congrads on the Morgan. I found a 1921 in a rodeo arena parking lot. I got to thinking about it and seems I remember people used to wear big belt buckles with silver dollars in them. I bet that's how the one I found ended up at the rodeo.

Smile Keep going
to lunch. Don't go on a diet, keep swinging that detector Very nice looking Silver Dollar! Congrats from Mykie And I am glad it was only 2 or 3 inches down, I found a mess of them at 3 inches down to 7 inches deep. Nice find.

That is a very nice fine. Now, I am betting that you'll be losing some weight cause you're going to be detecting on those lunch breaks. That kind of find is what it is all about. Congrats!!

Post Why is it called a Morgan --> the answer
From Wikipedia:

The Morgan dollar was a United States dollar coin minted intermittently from 1878 to 1921. It was the first standard silver dollar minted since production of that denomination ceased due to the passage of the Fourth Coinage Act, an act which also ended the free coining of silver. The coin is named for its designer, United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan. The obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty, while the reverse depicts an eagle with wings outstretched.
