Month ends with a large silver. Woo hoo!

This weekend was my last chance to try and bump my silver count this month.
Did a quick hunt on Saturday but found nothing at all.
Today, Sunday, I found only two coins in total, but one of them certainly made up for the low number...
Got a great signal, but it was hard to figure out the exact spot, as some bushes were blocking my coil.
It was quite shallow (only 3 inches), so I didn't have too much hope...
Immediately when I cut the plug I saw a thick reeded edge!
Silver! And big silver this time!
Swedish 2 Kronor 1880 (KM# 742)
This is a fairly tough date too, with a mintage of 128,000 pieces. Certainly one of my best coins as far as value is concerned.
This is a large and heavy coin (15 grams. For comparison, a US seated/barber half dollar is 12.5g)
Happy hunting!

It seems that you and I and a couple more here had been in contention all month.
I found two more silver today which bring my total to 9, my final count.
G.
You suck, majorly.
I have only done that once...ever. With the coin you used as a comparison, actually- a Barber half dollar.
Man, I can only imagine the adrenaline rush that must've been. The sight of that coming out of the ground must have really packed a whallop. Too bad we don't have action pics or your usual photographic tour with the requisite critter pic.
Awesome!
HKnJ: You've got me beat. This was #8 for me, and that's my final number.
Loditom should be up there too.... Will be interesting to see who eventually gets away with this month's award
Look's like you guy's got me beat this month on the silver
