[ibbasser123]

well i had a good day today, spent 4 hrs at a park and found 13 quarters 27 dimes 9 nickles 23 pennies and o yes a morgan silver dollar!!!! but i must tell you its so wore down you can just make out the head and on the back the eagle, think somebody might of carried it has a good luck piece. but guess what i do not care its still a morgan silver dolar!!!!! have a question for you guys my bh505 will get a high beeb that will read 50 or 1.00 8 to 10 inches but when i try to pinpoint and go to all metal i just cant zoom in on it. I am thinking the 505 just cannot get that deep. any ideas?

Congratulations, ibbasser, on a great find.
I had a friend back in the 1960's that had carried a silver dollar in his pocket for probably forty years or so, at that time. He said it had been given to him when he was much younger and was told that as long as he had it in his poscket, he would never be broke. At that time in the 1960's, it was already worn completely smooth with no detail whatsoever. It was essentilally a silver "slug". You are probably correct about your find being a good luck piece or something similar.

That's funny, my grampa had one that he carried for the same reason! 8)

I met a guy that was given one by an old may back in the 40's after he got drafted and sent to Europe. It was smooth on all sides and you could not tell that it was ever even a coin. He then bought one in mint condition that was the same as his once was.

As for the BH 505 question did you try hitting the ground track button before pinpointing?

Ibbasser, I have a Bounty Hunter 202. I get those signals you described once in a while. If it's a good target, you're probably going to pinpoint it. Once in a while, foil will do some weird stuff. I've dug a couple of those signals you're talking about. It has turned out to be some big piece of trash. I think sometimes when it does that, it's something big enough or scattered enough that it is larger than the whole coil or it's twisted and mangled and lying at different depths.

I went out today. I just got an MXT and am trying to learn it. I got a signal at 8". I was able to pinpoint. It was a consistent strong quarter/weak half. I dug all of 8" and gave up. I took my BH back over the territory I covered with the MXT. I got the exact same signal on the BH so I pulled the plug back out and dug another couple of inches. I didn't uncover the whole thing, but it looked liked the bottom of a popcan. The rest of it was apparently buried face down. I have no idea how it would have gotten there.

By the way, I have one of those worn down lucky pieces too. It's a Piece Dollar. My grandad left it me.

Nice find! HH

Ibbasser! Great find. Espically in a place where one would not expect to find one. I'm jealous. I fondeled a few Carson City Dollars at a gun show today, but they were a little overpriced for what they were although they were beautiful coins. All BU or better. I did FIND SOME GOLD there, just not with my DFX. I brought it home anyway. One of these days the DFX will score gold coins without me having to buy them first. Spotz

Well at the least it's worth it's weight in silver, better than that it's YOUR Morgan, the first one you got, can't beat that with a stick.
