After twenty plus years of MDing I finally found a Morgan dollar . It was about 8" deep and did not sound like it was a big coin I never even looked at the digital Numbers so don't know what they were .It took me by surprise If this is my last silver for the year I am Happy. the ET is awesome HH RonC

It was a HIGH of 2 degrees..........south off Lake Michigan (By me Today).............Even if my E-Trac was rated for that temp....(and I was silly enough to get out in it).......I would have needed a Jack Hammer hooked up to a Large Air Compressor..........To be able to dig it up..............L.O.L.

info as to the type of location it was found in? I too was surprised by my first silver dollar this summer - it was Canadian, but not anywhere near as old, but silver nonetheless and it was only about 2" - 3" deep, I thought it was a clad quarter before I dug. How strong was the signal on that thing and if it was in an area that has been detected before, any idea why it might have been missed?

Erik I found the Morgan near the University of Oregon in the easement in front of old house that was turned in to apartments.The signal sounded like a silver hit but I thought it sounded 4-5" deep when i dug to that depth and probe with my x-1 I could barely get it . So I gave a good birth around the hole the dollar pop out at 8". The neat thing is my hunting bud saw me dig it .In fact I yelled and scared him he thought I dug a snake LOL. WE had hunting this a year ago in the summer but the ground was dry and didn't want to tear up the grass even though I had permission.I have my gain at 21 this seems to work for me to hear deeper coins and the vco on sizing deep on auto +3 coin pattern with the top bar edited out. I was so ecited I could not detect and left that area I will go there soon when the weather lets me HH RonC
