Deep Morgan Silver Dollar! and other finds from last 2 weekends

[floodplaindetector]

all finds shown are were pulled with the eTrac and 13 inch Tornado Coil at researched public city parks and old schools. Finds were made from some weekend hunts over the last 2 weekends. The 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar was quite the welcome surprise.
It was pulled a little over an hour from home at a small town city park that was originally the site of a very old school. The Silver Dollar was about 10 inches deep and at an angle so I was having a little trouble pinpointing it. The city park had faint signs
of someone hitting it hard this spring already as I saw numerous faint plug marks. I first ran into a very deep 1887 Indian head penny @ 10-11 inches deep. I knew I had the depth advantage with my machine and setup so I patiently and slowly worked this park for about 5 hours.
I only pulled 1 wheat penny but hit about a 9-10 inch 1892 V nickel, a silver war nickel, Buffalo nickel and a few pins, bale seals and finally the silver dollar. There was so much iron in the ground I didn't even bother looking at my numbers after I got the deep repeatable high tone.
It has been a few years since my last silver dollar.
My arm and back are doing ok so far since my "etrac, Lighten It Up" modification so I will continue to hunt with it and get some good exercise.
Below is some more detail about the pictured items I found.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
Dave

Love my etrac, but as yet have never pulled a silver dollar. Was it the machine or the coil or (?) that "did the trick"?

PS - Congrats.

Tell no one ! Where your hunting. Good for you.

The silver dollar is great, but I'm impressed with all the other hard-to-find objects found with such a large coil. You must have dug a truck load of trash. Good job.

 

[bootyhoundpa]

Somebody has been a busy beaver or should I say groundhog lol.. congrats on some very productive hunts....

 

[floodplaindetector]

Thanks for the positive comments guys! I didn't dig a truckload of trash but a few pocketfulls
A lot of much needed weekend exercise after working remotely in my basement office all week again because of the virus.
