After fourteen years of metal detecting, yesterday I finally dug up a silver dollar when I found a 1923 Peace dollar. I was hunting a public hillside below an old Roman Catholic Church near the town where I live in SE Wisconsin.

I use an ACE-400 and it suddenly gave me a 94/96 signal. This is one I had never seen before. I have found four Walking Liberty half dollars and these all rang up as a 91/92.

I dug my plug and a big shiny round thing suddenly showed itself as I searched through the dirt. When I picked it up and realized it was a Peace dollar I uttered out loud, "You have got to be kidding me!"

Here is what the Peace dollar looks like after a soak in soapy water. I did not attempt to remove the black encrustations by the date.

I went back yesterday afternoon for a short hunt and found this very worn 1900 Barber dime.
