Greg Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I took my ATX hunting at Lake Tahoe and found this 1899 Morgan silver dollar at 12" deep in highly mineralized ground( lots of black sand). Thanks for the invitation to your new forum Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi Greg, Thanks for visiting and posting that. I think that is just an awesome find. I have found quite a few half dollars but only one dollar coin in all my years of detecting. They have been harder to find than one ounce gold nuggets for me! A beach is the spot however, and punching deep like you did is the way to find that old stuff everyone else has passed over. I have had good luck with old coins at beaches with PI detectors. Anyway, good on you making that find! You have to be patient with the ATX but if you are it will reward you with rare finds like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
