Was having a real dud of a week detecting when out of the blue today a Big silver showed up. Had to change plans today and stay near home and found a Morgan Dollar at a old Park I have pounded. I must of walked over this coin a bunch of times. It was a solid 33-34 on the Nox and was a very strong signal so maybe the Etrac just didn't like the signal or I thought it was an aluminum can. Who knows, just glad I dug the signal today. At first I thought I had a half which was weird as I thought my 1st silver dolar would of been more obvious. Weird week in that yesterday and today was mostly clad except for the Morgan. Happy in Wisconsin. Wisconsin Digger

I was up in Wisconsin today doing some door knocking and came home with nothing but a few wheats and some clad.

Thx guys, I never thought I would find one. Like I said I probably walked over this coin several times. I do believe the Etrac does have some issues with bigger silver so maybe it was just the detector and not the dummy swinging it. Thx WD

I agree that for some detectors big silver can ring up a bit wonky. Almost like a can. I bet though that there were other things in the ground nearby that could have influenced the Etrac. Well done again!

My Morgan was also an 1882. But I got it with the Etrac.

Wow, congrats!!!!
I sometimes think my old T2 thought things were cans, like shoe buckles, and my Nox tells me to dig. That is a real looker! :wow:

Not overly deep, about 3-4" and I did not see any iron in the hole but did not look to hard once I saw the big silver rim in the dirt. The signal was really strong on the nox and the numbers were good all the way around. WD

A silver dollar has been on my bucket list since I was a youngster. Congrats on finding your first! That had to be an awesome feeling! And the fact that it's a Morgan from the 1800s makes it even better.

Amazing find! :clapping:
