Bicentennial clad Ike Dollar! Spoon, wheat and buckles

[treblehunter]

Went back with George to my 1808 house, found my first clad Ike Dollar. I had a 93 signal that sounded so sweet, I dug big but not deep because it was telling me 2 inches. When I pulled the plug there was nothing there. I stood back up to check to see if it was ringing high above the ground, but at 2-3 inches high the signal faded out. That got me real excited. I dug deep and wide and pulled the dirt out with my hands, I seen a thick reeded edge and thought, "Morgan"! I gently knocked off some dirt to see clad, then rubbed off to reveal Ike's face I thought it was a Kennedy at first. It was very exciting at first, still cool for me, maybe not everyone else. I found a 1925 Wheat, a old spoon with no marks on it and a buckle (horse tack) I think maybe this place was nighthawked, George thinks the ground has been moved for landscaping (it has a little) There is MUCH iron everywhere (11 acres) I think I'll let it be for awhile until we get about a two day steady rain, then go back. I don't want to become a pest. I'm going to talk with the owners about doing a privy dig, but wait until winter to ask and do it then. Such a beautiful property, it has been fun detecting there.

Now, THAT, is how one does clad properly! Very nice!

May be slightly annoying for that ever so sweet, rare, high signal to turn out to be clad.
But, it could've just been a brass pipe fitting.

Nice saves!

That is what I call clad! Congrats on the s̶i̶l̶v̶e̶r̶ dollar. I hope next time you find the real deal. Maybe if you go closer to the outskirts of the property, there may not have been as much land development and older ground.

Go in where? Sorry you lost me on that one?
Thanks for the comment, at least I have one silver Dollar under my belt, too bad that one didn't make it two silver Dollars.

I'm sorry, I guess I was not that clear, I meant that if you go closer to the outskirts of the property, there may not have been as much land development.
Also, Amazing silver dollar, sometime that second silver dollar will come. I hope to find one sometime, but right now it seems impossible.

looks great to me, usually that would be just another can or something similar for me

It may not be silver but it's still a cool find, not to mention all of the other stuff.
Oh, and you have one more silver dollar under your belt than I (and many others) do!
Congrats.
