Went detecting out in the desert with my friend brad and his brother steve, we started detecting the old wagon trail out of Ludlow,Ca. Heading east, I found 2 indian cents, 1904 and 1906 then dug up a 1917-s merc, then down the trail a little ways I dig up a 1908 barber dime,then a few teens wheats,then where the trail crosses route 66 I found a 42-s merc,then a 54-d rosie and a 51-s quarter for my 4th trifecta ever,just then steve comes up and shows me a. 1921 morgan dollar, I ask him where did you get that? He says across 66, so I go over to the area and start digging up morgan after morgan,all 1921s, after 15 mins. I had 11 of them. As I sat there looking at them,something was different about them from other morgans I had dug, as it turns out,thay were all fake, old fakes. Just thought I. Would share that with you guys. Thanks for lookin.

That would be a heart stopper for sure. I've heard of those fakes. What tipped you off that they were? But that trifecta was sweet. So far here all I got is a unifecta. Hoping for the day to come!!

And I find soooo.. many pennies, memorials mostly and lately a pile of wheats, but not one IH yet. Are the signals a touch different? I do notice that copper Canadian pennies have a slightly different sound, as do some wheats.

Nice, I think it would be cool to have some really old fake coins.  Although silver would be nice.  Back when fakes would have been harder to make and to have a good one would make for nice conversation and questions.

Wow Boots, that is just what I thought. Thanks!

Fake Morgans would be just as fine for me, heck, they're probably rarer! There must be a VERY interesting story behind those
