Being cooped up with my wife makes us get at eachothers throats, so I decided to get out for a few hours.
As I was swinging for about an hour with no solid signals, I finally get something that made me smile, the singing of silver.
As I dug and dug my smile started getting bigger and bigger and there she was, an 1888 Morgan dollar. When I pulled it out to take a look I accidentally dropped it back in the hole but the sound was wierd as if I dropped it into my pocket with change. I reallized that there was another coin, I pulled both coins out and as luck would have it another Morgan dollar 1884. I just love silver!!! :icon_king:

I believe they were part of a coin collection because there was a massive flood that ripped a few trailers off of an embankment and now it is just a dried up river bed

Nice theory about the flood but I just can't see 2 Morgans ending up in the same hole after a flood.........

HH all!

Maybe they were in an envelope that deteriorated. I've found that most non collectors keep coins they feel are valuable in a bank envelope for some reason. Just a theory...

I agree, beside the fact I don't really know what dipped means. I think these finds was just an old pocket spill. :o If it was a collection you would very easy find more coins of other types and sizes. Paper takes 7 years to dissolve so an envelope is likely out.

Nice finds,

Keep @ it and HH!!
 

sorry i didn't make it clearer, but the coin collection is a fact research has been done thanks to mike in PA.
and many other coins have been found since the flood
 

Very, very nice finds!!! I'm green-dipped with envy. BTW - Most silver that I find in a seasonally-watery-grave looks 'dipped' - whatever that means. They are greyish/bluish/dark. Nothing that boiling in baking soda doesn't solve (try at your own risk) - even though that makes them look very, very, cleaned, it doesn't seem to remove any sliver. Congratulations again!
 

The dipping that was mentioned in here refers to the manner of how a coin was cleaned. Such as dipping it in Tarn-X to remove the black gunk, or when a coin is "whizzed" that means some way of polishing it, ie. Baking Soda paste, silver cleaner rag, and the worst that I have seen used for polishing a silver coin is, with a dremel! YIKES! ::) ::) ::) :icon_scratch:
 

Congrats on the nice finds. With finding two like that there must be more from that collection.

Good luck and keep the pics coming coming of nice finds.

Awesome!!! Great finds to be sure!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
