Popular Post relic ray Posted June 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2022 People come up to me and ask me what I've found over the years. My usual response is: "Well, I haven't found a gold coin or a silver dollar." Well, as of yesterday, I can cut that statement in half. I found an 1880 silver dollar. After 20 years of detecting, I finally found one. My knees buckled and my legs shook and I would imagine my heart rate was off the charts. was about 6 inches deep and 3 feet from a road that was a major east west road and trading posts back in the 1800's. It was also known as the Honey Moon trail because newly Weds would take it to Niagara Falls by carriage. Found with a NOX 800, all metal mode, max sensitivity, FE 6 Park 1 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Great find for you, I know that the Nox hit that hard and loud. What was the number that it rang up as? Good luck on your next hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-NH Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 That's one of the holy grail finds of a lifetime. I've been detecting for 26 years and the silver Dollar and gold coin are still on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
