12/36 + 12/22 + 01/46 = a great day detecting :hot:

The 12/36 had me thinking Indian before it ever came out of the ground. The 12/22 had me fooled a little bit. It was the same size as the IH cent. But the low conductivity had me wondering what it might be???? I wasn't sure what it was until I got home and rinsed it off. It ain't much to look at. But it's my first Flying Eagle! I knew the 01/46 was big and the edge was silver. But instead of wiping it off, I left the clump of dirt on it, wrapped it in a paper towel and stuck it in my pocket. When I got home and washed it off, it turns out to be a key date 1883 CC Morgan silver dollar!!! Unfortunately, years of farming has put a few scars on both sides of the Morgan. But all in all, her details are sharp, I got my first Flying Eagle and added another IH cent. What a great hobby!!! HH Randy

Still some stupendous finds Randy :thumbup: I still fondly remember the Morgan Dollar I dug a couple of years ago.........what a RUSH!!! :hot: The Flying Eagle Cent ain't too shabby either!

WTG bud...........:clap:...........Hawkeye Jim.
 
Wow!! sweet finds.
 
Yep, brushed on a little olive oil and it's a Flying Eagle. In fact, when I look at it with decent magnification, it appears to be the 8 over 7 variety. Better "date" than I expected. HH Randy
 
Fantastic find.
Those are hard to find.
 
W O W, Randy! What a day you had!!!! Congratulations man!!! Thanks for the pictures and the story!

I am so sorry that Silver Dollar is so scratched up.... I'll give you TWO Dollars for it, Right now :rofl: Seriously, Great Hunt!!
 
Awesome, I especialy like the pics as I know your wife is probably giving you all kinda hell right now cause you got the sink dirty....And I know you most likely are oblivious to it as your just smiling bout that big shinny Dollar you found...he he coool.
 
Way too cool Digger, excellent finds. I've got alot of other coins inbetween to find, that one would have made my year..

Wow awesome day. Never found a flying eagle, its on my list.. :) congrats on the Morgan too!
 
you dug last week. Very nice! It is in much better shape than mine. But after 39 years of detecting, I won't complain. Since I found my Flying Eagle within a week of yours, why don't you go find a gold coin or that 20-cent silver, so I can find them too? :lol: HH Randy
