Morgan Dollar, Seateds!! Best hunt ever!!

I already had a fantastic week of detecting but on Saturday it went to a level I only dream about. I had to pick up my boys in the afternoon who were staying at my Moms about 4 hours away. I decided I would hit a couple old towns along the way hoping to find some silver or old indians.

I got to my first destination (and only destination) about 7:30am. After 10 minutes I got a 1959 D rosie and was happy with that. 10 minutes later I was digging a deep 12-43 ish signal and what came out was an 1889 Seated dime! I was thrilled!!

The next couple of hours I only found a few wheats. I came across a deep wheatie signal 12-39ish and out in my pile I saw a small silver coin. I knew it was either a Half Dime or a Canadian Fishy or 5 center. Turns out it was a worn 1853 Seated Half Dime!

Then 20 minutes later I came across a 1-32 which is normally an iron junk signal but it was hitting both ways and it was deep. The signals here were not great due to iron and dry conditions. Anyway I dug down about 10 inches and I noticed that my signal now was 5-43. A scoop of dirt later and I saw it....a freaking monster silver coin! 1882 Morgan Dollar!

I also found 4 Indians all from the 1800's...1881, 1890, 1892 and 1894.

I can't wait to go back but it might not be until the fall. I want to go when the ground is wetter and I would really like for my friend to join me. I took videos of each of those silvers when I found them (not live digs but live reveals) just for him to not only share my excitement but to encourage him to come up to hunt with me like old times.

I am very thankful and blessed to have found all of these crazy coins this past week!

Thanks for looking! Jared

:wow: & :congrats:
What an amazing hunt you had!!
Half Dime and a Morgan in the same hunt. Not to mention everything else.
Super happy for you. Days like that don't come around very often!!!
I bet you can't wait to get back there!:perfect10:

You crushed it. Are U putting coins in the hole? That is what I tell my hunting buddy. LOL

:wow: You really killed it! All of those silvers are still on my own bucket list, but you got them in a single hunt! Just incredible...The Indians alone are worthy of a post but only get a side note here. Huge congrats, and can't wait to hear about the return trip. :perfect10:

Excellent finds! A Morgan and seated 1/2 dime in the same hunt, wow! Were these park finds or did you door knock? Best wishes and HH, Dave.

YOU NAILED IT!!!!!! :omg: Great hunt!!!

Wow! That Morgan is a beauty.

HOLY CRAP!!! What a hunt!!!! Huge congrats that's one heck of a day!!!!!!

It's posts like this that gets me motivated, thanks. :thumbsup02: What a great collection of old coins.....:notworthy:

Insane finds. Congrats! Wow.

Wow Jared...dream hunt for sure! Morgan is in fantastic shape, but to find 2 seateds and a Morgan in one hunt will indeed be one of your best hunts ever. Congrats sir!

Wowzers what a hunt :perfect10::envious: bucket list items for me

WoW! Jared what a great day of digging! Congrats. Are you using an ET or 3030?

Now that was an amazing day! :wow:

Congrats on the 1853 Half Dime and especially the 1882 Morgan Dollar! :notworthy:

Like DaddyDigger, I am curious about what kind of site this was. Park, private yard, church, school, field, or other?

:congrats:

Thanks everyone for your comments! These were all found in a public area that I discovered about 2 weeks ago. This place has been detected before but obviously not too hard....but I plan to clean it out eventually! It will be hard work but someone has to do it. :grin:

Chielf5709 - I used my Etrac for this hunt. But there are areas of intense iron that my dEUS may have success in. We will see!

I also posted my video clips of the "live" reveals on YouTube. Just search "Bucknut" or with the same title as this thread. It is a crappy video but its my first...maybe I will do more from this site?

A day to remember...! Great
Also enjoyed your video..

Wow! Amazing finds! Congrats on your great finds and the big and old silver!

Pretty sweet find there. Despite a few black spots, as expected from a buried coin, the Morgan is in great shape. I should ask Dan what the mintage of that 1853 is. A lot seem to pop up from that year.
