Silver Dollar Saturday !!!

[rayrayvegas]

Started early as usual to avoid this Vegas heat, went back to my house teardown and managed to squeeze out a Mercury and a 64 Quarter. Signals started drying up so decided to recheck some lots I previously hunted not to far away. Sooo glad I did! Decided to hit a small lot that ive been over 2 times. Its rather small compared to others I hunt, around 20x20. Had luck here before pulling out a monster gold ring earlier this year so decided to go real slow and not 5 feet from my car 3rd signal I got a bouncing 96-98. First two signals were close to that and were strips of aluminum. Almost didn't dig but said to myself what am I here for to detect so got down and at only 3" out pops the Dollar. Just like my first one it took a few seconds to realize what I had. How in the world did I miss this the last 2 hunts. This has been a fantastic year for me and I give credit to my At Pro and the 5x8 coil separating treasure from trash. Also found some wheats,marbles and still need to clean but think its a early dog tag.

Excellent find! Silver dollars are rare for most of us, but out there in Vegas there are probably more waiting to be dug than any other city.

Antiquarian, on the soil hardness, you have no idea! Lol. I have calluses on my calluses. Thanks.

Hey that's a beauty Ray. You've been working hard and being rewarded

Thanks Ahab8, I was very happily surprised.

 

[rayrayvegas]

really sweet silver! I know what you mean about almost not digging something because of already digging several trash signals that had the same signal, makes you wonder what you have left behind before. congrats

Thats exactly why ive been going back to redetect. This just proves what gets left behind.

 

[rayrayvegas]

Every time I get a 90ish signal on the ATP, I think " Great! Another dang piece of brass!". I hope one day to get surprised by a Morgan. Hopefully the temps will cool up some for you soon.

Old dude, im telling you it happens when you least expect it. Keep diggin youll get one. HH

You would think so. But it took me over 20 to dig my first and its proably close to a year from that since I found this one. Not that im complaining. : )

So did I for 20 years, until I popped out my Peace last year. Believe me I feel blessed to dig up two. It will happen when you least expect it. Hang in there.
