Found a Morgan Dollar today !!

[MNCoinhunter]

I bought an AT Pro about a month ago, but have not had much of a chance to try it out. Partly because I am attached at the hip to my Minelab Explorer. Anyways, I took it to a well-hunted spot and hit on this chunk of silver about 8 inches down. I did'nt even know what I had until I brought it home and washed it off a bit. Obviously been through a very hot fire ... "O" mintmark .. date is obliterated ... but it's the coolest find so far this year without a doubt. Still kind of stunned. It's toasted, but it's mine !!!

Ill bet you 'bout loaded your shorts once you started rubbing it and started to see the details of a silver dollar

PS: I'm the one who moved your other post from the explorer forum to here. Sorry my friend but I couldn't notify you because I was at work.

I didn't realize you had already posted it here too...so I removed the second one as you requested...and just responded to this one.
