Hello all, I know you are all getting tired of my "silver" finds seemingly EVERYDAY. Well I took 5 days off going to family down in California last week from Wednesday until Monday....well that means TODAY I got to get back out there! Glad I did! And yes there was BIG silver in the hole!!!
Some of you may remember my first Morgan Silver Dollar find in Hawaii almost 3 months ago. I posted it here: http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=265334
And about 10 days ago my best hunting friend buddy Cruiserkev found his first Morgan hunting curb strips where I have been SUPER lucky with the silver. A 1879S Morgan!!!
As mentioned, today I had to go back, and just 1 or 2 blocks down from where Kevin found his Morgan I found my second Morgan in less than 3 months!! I was so surprised that initially I thought it was a FAKE. More so I was shocked!
Here is the MIND BLOWING thing, if finding my second Morgan wasn't enough....I found the same DATE and MINTMARK that Cruiserkev found 10 days ago!! And no it is NOT the same coin that he found
Again this was found on a curb strip 1 or 2 blocks away from where Kevin found his....mine has some nice toning on the back where the root it was under colored the back (kind of hard to see in the photos).
The Morgan was about 5 1/2 inches down, under an old tree root.
And, just like the last Morgan I found, it rang up on the CTX (with the kind of soil around here) as a 12-41/42 bouncing to a 13-45 occasionally. I have been getting those numbers all afternoon and they typically turn out to be clad dimes or pennies. The Morgan in Hawaii rang up a similar set of numbers.
No other silver, 2 Wheaties (53S and 56S), a Susan B. Anthony $1 coin and a Budda Pendant.
Like I said, MIND BLOWING for multiple reasons!
HH All and get your shopping done! I will be detecting......
