New permission pays off with Big Silver!

[BenVa68]

I started hunting the new permission yesterday and about an hour into it i found huge silver. It was a 1900 Lafayette silver dollar. I had never seen on or even heard of them before. It was under a bunch of gravel where the original buggy path use to be so it's not in great condition but luckily i could still read both sides including the date. I looked it up and evidently only 50k were minted and it was the first commemorative coin ever produced. Needless to say i was Very excited when i dug it up. I also found an old button a lantern part, some type of lead or pewter gun along with several other things including a pile of lead. I only had a couple hours to hunt after work so I cant wait to get back over there. The property owner said i could come any time i wanted.
