Default Finally, a SILVER DOLLAR!!!!!!

Went to the park this am. Dug some clad and pennies. In one hole at the base of a big oak tree, I kept finding pennies, but kept getting a silver half signal. I dug 5 pennies, all modern, then hit a root. Good silver half signal still. I was telling myself it was iron. But dug around the root and saw a silver glimmer to the side of the hole. Dug out that side of the hole and oh my gosh! I could not believe what I was holding. a 1924 Peace Dollar. I danced around and did the jig until I realized that 2 fireman were standing out side the station drinking coffee and watching me. So after my face got un-red, I came home. Also found to well worn wheaties that I can't make out the date yet.
