Local High School gives up another Silver Dollar

[yardgoat]

The local High School which sits on the old early 1900's fair grounds gave me my second silver dollar ( The first being a toasted 1929 Peace Dollar found a year or two ago), This one is a 1897 O. Using my 13" coil and going slow I got a jumpy 87 to 90 signal, and then couldn't get a pinpoint with my detector. Finally after going several directions I got a pinpoint at 8", digging an ever expanding plug I found that the coin was on edge and of coarse I did manage to hit it with my digger. But hey made my day. Happy hunting everybody..

Big find. Well done...

It’s hard not to hit a coin that big. Awesome hit!

Way to go on a silver dollar. Heck ya! Gotta love letting those big suckers see the light of day again

Lots of detail left on that one, plus Miss Liberty's face is not all bashed up. I've got uncirculated Morgans that have more face damage than your coin. Nice one! Gary

Congrats on the Morgan. They are one nice coin to see coming out of the hole.

Awesome find!! I've yet to dig an 1800's Dollar so that's a bucket lister for me. Congrats!!

I have found many silver half dollars in my time but never a silver dollar. Congrats!

That is a real accomplishment. Two silver dollars in a couple of years. I've been at it for 45 plus years and no silver dollars. Congrats.

Big congrats on the silver dollar find. Are you sure about the Peace Dollar being a 1929? They didn't mint any that year.

Clad2silver, Your right it's a 1927, it's toasted and hard to read. Thanks for the info.
