Found my first Silver Dollar EVER this week.The closest thing to it was the last Half dollar I found 3 years ago......I figured I was about due to find a Half dollar,since both my hunting buds found a couple EACH Last year......OK.....I'll take a Silver dollar over a Half .......It's common ,and not worth much,but It's MINE.
Was hunting in the woods this week where I had found 11 silvers in a day a few months back...Now I may find a silver every other hunt....I got a high repeatable tone that the numbers and tones acted like a deceptive Mem....I thought "Maybe its a silver Coin,but most likely its a wheaty or a memorial....I dug a 7"-8" plug..............And my jaw dropped as I seen at the bottom of the plug was something Large and Shinny.....I thought Ohhhhh A silver Token............WRONG
I had it soaking in water a few days,and Now that it has been raining today....I thought I would remove the dirt take picks and post it..........I was carefull to not rub it....I just took a q-tip,and dabbed it with soap,Rinse ,Repeat.It took a couple hours......I have to think it must have been scratched before lost.........That's My story & I'm sticking to it.
