I got my detector back from the Garrett repair department on friday, but had to wait until today to go try it out. WOW it was worth the wait! I went back to the place that I found some IH and wheat pennies, thinking that I might find a Barber dime. Well, no dimes were to be found today. Instead, I got a very strong silver dollar signal. I thought "great, another pop can". I went over this site a while back, and must have barely missed this signal. Five inches deep I noticed a large silver coin, it was the 1904 Barber half. I nearly flipped my lid! Then the 1896 Barber half popped out...my first pre 1900 silver coin ever! Then I see this huge silver disc...no...it can't be...what?...it is!!! An 1896 Morgan silver dollar! They are in very nice shape, and how I managed not to scratch them is a miracle. I nearly passed out as it sunk in that I had found three huge silvers in the same hole, at a site that I had already hunted. Today was probably my last hunt for the season, and it sure ended with a bang!!!
