my first and last finds...Silver!!!

[lairmo]

When i was a little kid i got out of church one day to see a man swinging this big, clunky, noisy thing on the brick sidewalk...he let me help dig one of his "targets"....IT WAS A QUARTER!!!!...I never dreamed that you could find money with a machine(at least not one coin at a time anyway)That is when i got the FEVER!!!!...so when i turned 13(a few years of hounding my parents later) i received a whites coinmaster(BIG< BLUE<NO IDEA HOW TO USE IT!!!!) i gave up after digging up every aluminum satellite firework i had shot off from 1974 to 1980!!!...i put it in the closet...My mom and dad built a new house in the meantime and my brother and me played Hot Wheels in the piles of black dirt that was hauled in for fill....I decided one day that i was going to find all the Hot wheels that i had lost when i was younger...detector...dirt pile...what?...Silver coin?...MOM!!!!!!!!!!....I later got accused of sticking the 1898 O barber dime in the dirt and "finding" it.....Then my dad told me the dirt had come from south of town and "some ole farmer" had probably dropped it plowing his fields.....That's when i got the FEVER for the second time!!!!!.....I still have the dime...
And now i have my own home....1980's-90's ranch home on an old place...13 acres, 18th-20th century cemetary,(according to the markers i have found so far)...DON'T WORRY....I only dig six inches not six feet..LOL...Anyways...i see that i am rambling so i will cut this short...I have lived here 6 1/2 years...hunted my yard at least 3 to 4 times a year... and Sunday , I DUG MY FIRST SILVER DOLLAR!!!!!!! and this other stuff....and what is this?.. Happy Hunting To ALL!!!!!!!!!

I wish my back yard had some history in it. Did you scratch that Peace Dollar or did it come out that way? Good reminder either way to dig a wide birth. Killer finds btw. My buddy found a 22 peace dollar on his 2nd time EVER detecting. I was so jealous and happy for him at the same time you all know the feeling. He scratched it of course lol.

Lairmo, Great find ! My one and only silver dollar find was a 1923-s peace dollar as well.

I ended up scratching the front of it , because i didn't believe my detector when it showed

vdi at dollar coin - That will teach me ! Argentium.
