Found a BIG bucket list coin :)

[Bob207]

Headed down to the river at low tide to check a new spot. After finding a bunch of trash I stumbled across a signal that was 98-99 on the AT Pro at 2". Was sure it was junk but figured it was so shallow I'll check it anyways. Boy am I glad I did! Flipped over a flat rock about 6" across and 1" thick, moved a little muddy dirt and this flipped out. I'm not used to seeing coins this big and my heart about jumped out of my chest. She's a bit tarnished from the iron that was next to it and the saltwater but she should clean up nice. Every day I get out is a great day but this morning was frickin fantastic!

You bet buddy. But every now and then we get a find that sets us back on our heels with awe and appreciation. And your find is indeed one of those.

That been said I'd put yours up in the rarer division Bill.

After trying the foil/water/baking soda method and a long lemon juice bath this is what it looks like. Not much progress but I'll keep at it.

 

[jewelerguy]

awesome. I've always hoped to one day find a Morgan dollar. Congrats!

 

[Old Dude]

Congrats on my favorite coin. Nothing more beautiful than a Morgan.

BIG CONGRATS
all of mine have been down about 2 feet - so I thought I had something good each time but was surprised each time they turned out to be Morgans

Welcome to the Silver Dollar club ! Just about everybody who finds one, think it's garbage prior to digging it
because it's such a big fat signal - I know I did - Great Find .

 

[Bob207]

Gave it a couple more rounds of baking soda/foil/water treatments and this is how it looks. I'm happy with it now even though she's still a dirty girl lol. Thanks for all the replies, this was a big moment for me that still has me smiling
