We had a nice warm up last weekend, so I headed out early Saturday morning to work off the Thanksgiving turkey.
All finds shown are from 2 partial day hunts: Saturday and Sunday. Everything was found with my Minelab eTrac at public researched sites.
The 1882 Silver dollar was on edge in the hole about 9 inches deep. Right next to it was a 4-inch-long x 1/2 thick triangle shaped piece of iron. On the other side was a big bent nail.
It was originally giving a very flat and chopped faint wheat penny sound tone. Once I pulled out the Morgan Dollar in disbelief, I proceeded to recheck the hole.
About a foot away I exposed a very faint high tone. Out popped the Barber quarter. It was about a foot deep.
I hit a couple ball shaped buttons in the area that I thought may be silver. Also found at the same site was a 1902 Indianhead penny,
1907 V nickel and a musket ball and horse sleigh bell (see that picture with finds in my hand)
That silver cross read like a faint scratchy Indian head penny. It was found about 5 feet from that 1884 Indian head penny in a very old city park.
It does not have a sterling stamp on the back but is definitely silver. I was happy to get that one as it is a pretty unique find.
Thanks for looking!
