Silver Dollar!!!

[KodyB]

My 1st silver of 2023 was a 1890 O Morgan Dollar!
I’m still in shock and can’t believe I actually found one. It was on my bucket list ever since I started metal detecting almost 3 years ago.
Found with the Legend using the 6” coil in heavy iron.

Huge Congrats! That beauty was deep! Did you think it could be a silver dollar from the vdi number on your detector?

Thanks!
The tone and VDI was perfect. I was running in Park Multi 2 with all iron on (I like to hear the iron).
Had the recovery set at 7 and in 60 tones.
The VDI was a stable 58-60 and wouldn’t waver from those numbers. I did a complete 360 and was hitting it perfect on all sides. I had the thought that it could be a silver dollar, but wasn’t expecting it to actually be one…lol
I honestly thought it was big or deep iron, but when I would lift my coil off the ground it would go away and pinpointed small.
Was one of those tones that was to good to be true.

that's awesome. Been on my bucket list for about 47 years. At the rate I'm going I might as well forget about it. Congrats to you though!

Thank you
I was detecting an old farm house that was built in the 1860’s.
Has been in the family for 100 years.

THANKS KODY !!

Excellent!!!! Not an easy coin to dig. Quite the contrast to another elusive silver coin, the trime. Both are probably on many people's lists.

Absolute! I would also love to find a Trime! My next big bucket lister is to find an intact crotal bell.

Just found a trime after Thanksgiving. 1857. Whole crotal is tough. Only have 1. And pieces of them. Plows are not kind to them.

Can you post a pic of the Trime?

Quality not quantity. Tough on East Coast Haitian Phoenix button, 1857 Trime in muddy woods. some old beers out of muddy bay.

It was probably the most miserable hunt I've been on since I started detecting. Low 50s out, started pouring in woods after only 90 min of my hunt. All I had was a ton if ammo and a lot of mud on me. Then I got past dry stream bed and bam a button that to me looked like an odd eagle at the time...

Thanks!
For being a dug coin it’s in pretty darn good condition. Was probably lost within the first 10 years I’m guessing.

What did that coin ring up?

What did that coin ring up?

When it was in the ground it was hitting a 58-60, but once I got it out and swung over it it was hitting 55-56. I think the massive amount of iron around it was throwing off the VDI. When it was still in the ground the tone was great just the VDI was a little off.
