I had the day off so I meet up with Ryan ( eagleforce ) at an old location that will give up a silver still . Today it opened up BIG TIME ! I'll start with the first good find , about an hour into a 2 1/2 hour hunt I got a sweet +81 at one inch . I pulled back the grass and saw ring #7 and it was silver 
. Then a good 30 minutes later I was getting lots of +74 and +77 at all depths , all were pennies and dimes . One target was jumpy at 6 inches going between +74 , +77 and even hit +80 twice . I dug down and saw the sweetest thing ever , a BIG SILVER COIN EDGE !!!! I call Ryan over to see it . I was thinking silver half dollar but no it was the coin I had been looking for 
. I couldn't believe it , I was shaking 
. It was my first ever Morgan silver dollar ! It's a 1883 with no mint mark . I still can't believe it 
. I remember two years ago watching Ryan find his first Morgan 
. It was hard to hunt after that I was almost unable to focus on the hunt do to being so happy . After all that I did manage one more good old coin , a 1904 V nickel . It's been awhile since I found one .
When I got home and started cleaning my finds I had one more item in my pouch that I couldn't identify till I cleaned it . It turned out to have writing on it that says , GGIE WORLDS FAIR 1940 S.F. CAL. . It's my first Golden Gate International Exposition find . Maybe a lid to something ?
All I can say is it was one great hunt !
