Been hunting over a mile road & sidewalk tearout, been working this for over a month. Trying to find time to post my incredible finds from this, just a little overwhelming on the magnitude of my finds to get it done. Hopefully it will be finished soon, it will posted as "MY MIRACLE MILE". To excited to wait on todays find, this strip has been bulldozed over 3 times and the dirt is differant everytime I go here. I have detected the area I found this dollar over ten times. Today was my lucky day! Got a dollar signal that was bouncing back & forth between Nickel and dollar. Know its a nail I thought, might as well get it out of here. Dug about 4" and pulled out a giant nail, which this area is coverd with. Checked hole again and dollar signal came over loud and clear on my GTA 1000. Dug another 2" nothing, stuck my pinpointer in the hole down another 1" of to one side. Loosened the dirt and grabbed a handful. At first thought I had a huge slug until I seen the Eagle on the rear. I knew I had a Peace dollar finally after over 15 years of detecting. I had to tell my self to breath!. Turned her over and seen some scratches across her face. S#$T! But I soon realized they were already on there, maybe from earler bulldozing. I thought who cares! When I got home just rinsed with water and light scrub with toothbrush to see date and mint. Foumd date, cant find a mint mark. Soon realized I had a key date coin. Afraid now to touch the thing but I really want to see it cleaned up. Guess I'll have to wait after I get it authenticated. Anyways keep eye out for my post on this month long hunt hopefully coming soon.

Awesome find ray!, can't wait to see your full post on that location!
 

Awesome coin.... thats not big silver, thats HUGE silver!!! :notworthy:
 

I believe '28 is a key date. Double check to make sure it's not a 1923. Awesome find! A silver dollar is still on my want list.
 

excellent find. I've been waiting so long for mine, I deserve to find a whole roll of them
 

Congrats on an incredible find. It sure had a rough life before being lost. Welcome to the cartwheel club!
 

Here in Vegas Im sure it was circulated alot back in the day. If it could only talk.
 

Nice find! I found my first silver halves this year. Keep waiting to see a tearout around here. Hope you post your other finds!
 

Its crazy how the differant soil conditions here affect silver here, some come out of the ground looking like they were just dropped while others look like this.crazy!
 

Great find whatever! That date in the photo sure looks like 23.
