Honest to god folks. The young lady who found this has just started detecting this year. My buddy and I took her to an area we both hunted several times. She used the old detector with a stripped coil bolt and it was amusing to watch and we laughed at her as it flipped flopped about as she swung the coil. Well. Guess who's laughing now.

Than again it just shows you have to swing the coil over the target to find it which anyone can do.
Nice coin and one hard to come by for many.
There is story i heard around here too of a young boy finding a $5 gold piece in a well worked park in MN too his first time out with his new detector. I am sure most everyone thought it was a pull tab that uses a target ID detector while this Young boy was digging everything being he was new to the detector.

I forgot to get a shot of the back side because I was so sure I'd find one myself that I just stuffed the camera back in the bag.
This coin was found in Citrus Heights California.
The back side is just as nice, Feathers all accountable for.
I showed this picture to a fellow worker who collects coins and he thinks this one is VF.
It was only around 4-5 inches deep in very rich moist soil.

What model Tesoro was she using? That'll teach you. One of the best finds I ever made was with a Bandido. Great machines for that kind of hunting. Good thing the bolt was stripped, she would have really embarrassed you, lol. Great find. Congratulate her for us and have a great weekend.

That is funny. Maybe if you weren't laughing you would have found it. 
I hunt with my son who is 16. I usually let him have our good detector and I take the entry level one. Well the one day I was out this fall with my son and was tired of him finding all the good stuff with the good detector. So I give him the "crappy" one and within 20 minutes he had three silver dimes - one of which was a 1906 Barber dime!

Is there a mint mark on the back ??? CC, D, S P ???
mint marks for morgans are philadelphia was plain no mark cc = carson city (rarest) o = new orleans s = san francisco and D was denver (only made 1921 year coins) no coins made from 1904 to 1920 mark was on back between feathers & latters on word DOLLAR. vf is your basic lowest collector grade - $40 buck min value about $100 if O mint mark but since she found it with a has been beat up detector while you used the top shelf one its -priceless!!!
