Where to start! Left the house about noon. I had 49 silvers. One shy of my goal for the year. Well let me tell you guys. I will never forget my 50th silver coin of 2012. I have been swinging this coil for less than two years and have found not one, but two. I feel so fortunate. Started off at a small park. Found nothing. Then I went to an old fire house that they shut down about a year ago after building a new one. Fire house wasn't that old, built in the 60's. But, the church across the street from it had been there since the early 40's. So I thought what the heck. Found four wheats, a nice drawer pull. A 50 year anniversary Coca Cola key fob. This is the second one of these I have found. And a military pin. It has a 2 on it and a set of tracks. This is a pin from the 2nd Armored Div. No other than George S. Patton in command.

Still no silver. Sooooooo I go to another park. This park has been hunted probably since the invention of MD's. I didn't have much hope. Started swinging. Found a 1955 wheat. I thought, well thats a good sign. I walk about 6 feet and get a nice high pitch on the F75, showing a 92. I think OK a piece of junk. I swing the coil over it, it dosn't change 92,92. I start walking around it in a circle. 92, 92, 92. Never changes. So I dig. At about 3 to 4 inches I catch a glimpse of it and almost have a heart attack. The one time I forget to bring my camera. My phone is in my truck and I'm about 1/4 mile from my truck. Soooooo. I look around to make sure no one is watching, put the dirt back in the hole. I stick my digging tool in the ground beside it and head to the truck for my phone. I really want to get a picture while its still in the ground. I have no idea what it is yet. Just hoping no one finds my digging tool. Get back and took these pic's

Here's a couple of pic's after cleaning it up.

A 1922 Peace dollar. Found my first silver dollar back in Feb., I think. A 1900 Morgan. And now this one. WOW two in one year. May not mean much to some, but let me tell you, I am one happy guy. Please excuse the lack of grammer, tooooooo excited. Thanks for looking! And HH to all.

Holy Cow is right! :wow: That's incredible Cody. Congratulations on a fantastic find. I can not believe you left it in the ground to get your phone camera. lol
 
Now thats the way to hit #50. Super :congrats: on getting your second silver dollar. Keep getting those silvers and that jar will be full in no time. :perfect10:
 
I can feel your excitement while reading your story. What a fantastic 50th. In my 45 years of detecting, it always amazes me on how the silver keeps replenishing itself in the hunted out parks. Makes me wonder on how all those other detectorists could have missed such a great coin. Congrats.
 
Holy cow is right. I'll consider it a miracle if I ever find one of those. I can't imaging two in one season! Congrats!
 
That is an awesome find. A HUGE congratulations to you. Still waiting for my first Morgan or Peace dollar Keep at it and find another. :wow:
 
:congrats: Nice Peace Dollar, that should grade nice. No scratches or dings either. Nice Job !
