Finally got around to getting permission at a spot a guy I've know for a long time and used to work with... Place had revolutionary war history and house was built in 1780s had a peach orchard and a trade post too... Well talking to him he said he found and showed me a 1856 seated half he found when raking an area to pour a concrete pad... Shows me where a guy years ago found 3 coins right in a row and about 2 feet over another 3 in a row... So I hit probably a 10x10 foot area and found this... The Morgan looked amazing coming out of the dirt

Sweet finds! Is the ring gold? Hit that place hard and see if you can manage to pull anything else!
 

Yep ring is 14k... I'm going to hammer the place guy said come back anytime he didn't care so Saturday I'm throwing the CTX in the truck and making record time getting down there
 

Let me see if I understand. You hit a 10 foot by 10 foot area in an obviously unsearched spot and found the morgan, two barbers and a gold ring? What else came out as far as anyting like pennies or trash, etc.
Amazing digs and I can only imagine what else you will dig. Please keep us posted.

Oh, and do let me know if you would be needing some help! })

Nothing like big, beautiful silver... and old! Nice find! Thanks.
 

Yes all 4 of them were in the small area 3 of them a step apart and the Morgan probably 2 foot to the side... I dug a little trash and a couple clad coins in the area
 

Wonderful! Go back and hunt the same place again, and again...!
Be sure to post your finds too, thanks!
 

Thats big Daddy Ive found 1 in all my years thats really cool. Keep em coming
 

Holy cow, that's freakin amazing. Would love to find one, can't wait to see what you find in the next 10x10, and the next, and
 

Those are some nice old coins. Morgan's are a great coin to see come out of the dirt. I'd get back there real soon.
 

Silver and Gold!! Not bad. Cartwheels don't come up too often. Looks like you're on a good site with more to come. What's next???:cross:
