Got to hunt an older house yesterday, was very hot out so i was trying to stay in the shade, well i found some wheats and older clad, was about to call it quits when i get a solid +94 and a solid black bar on the MXT with the D2 coil on, im thinking yea right a dollar probably a can lid. Well i about fainted when i seen this 1922 Peace dollar in the bottom of that six inch deep hole !!

Well that is big silver lol Was expecting a quarter, maybe a half :yes: Nice going on that HUGE silver ;) Is that a '22 D? In my White's days a +94 was always a big brass fitting lol What a way to end a hunt. Too bad it only counts as 1 silver for your totals :dontknow: :hairpulling:

Spectacular! |:confused:)

Silver dollars don't come out of the ground often, but when they do the seem to be Morgans most of the time for some reason. Great to see a Peace dollar! (I've never found either, LOL!)

Congrats on the incredible find! :clapping:

Finding your first silver is a nice feeling, isn't it? Especially when it's a Peace dollar!
I love it when I can see what was is now again. A bit of history found and the beauty of the coinage of days gone by. Now the thoughts will be I know there's more, I know there's more. You're hooked. Congrats on the find.
