wheat cent

Was picking up my breakfast bagel from the grocery store this morning when I spied a little surprise in the coin star. In the return slot there was one 1941 wheat cent, one 2006 Euro Cent, one 1997 Roosevelt dime, and two silver 1964 Roosevelt dimes. Then I found in the coin tray up top one 2006...

For only being my second hunt of the year, I'm pretty happy with the results. Would have liked some older silver, but I don't mind ol' Rosie. Also, I have cleaned up these finds since these photos were taken, just too lazy to take more pictures.

Hi. I have found the following coins at various parks around my neighborhood: 1941 ×2, 1953, 1952 ×2, 1957 ×2, 1960, 1961 ×2, 1963, 1964 ×5, 1965 ×5, 1966 ×2, 1967 ×4, 1968 ×5. Excluding these I found a silver 1958 dime and a silver 1919 dime at a park that had quite a few 1950's and higher...

I found my second Indian Head cent this year. Went to an old 200 acre youth camp near my house that was open from the 1920s to the 1960s. I suspect the site is older since I have found liberty nickels here and older bottles. I was surprised to find the Indian Head since I was finding many...

First 1800s coin. First Indian Head cent. Oldest coin. I am finally starting to make some good finds at the old farm site. I went out last week and found the 1915 D wheatie and tags. The top tag is an elastic (sewing) tag and the bottom tag is from, I think, a money belt from the 1910s-40s...

I'm on the silver now! 3rd Silver for 2016 + 4 Wheats and a lot of clad I am currently borrowing/test driving VMIairpwr's Safari and its already growing on me. Obviously it is a big upgrade from my 40 dollar Bounty Hunter lol. So i went to a park where I have found CW bullets and an old...

Last couple of short hunts finds here, had a potentially smelly surprise along with some screwdriver sign-age ! I like it when the unusual items turn up while detecting :hello2: Also got a Wheat Cent and a little silver heart. Not sure of its age, maybe hand cut one friend suggested, hard to...

Looks like a few people had some frustration, but it wasn't for me it made my hunt interesting vs dull :metaldetector: :headbang: The Apple gadget looks like some sort of music player, bet someone hit a few sour notes when it was lost . And good luck driving your motorbike home with no key...

Got a nice foreign silver today! It has a little stain from when there was grass around it and given that it was deposited close to a watery environment, I think its still in fairly nice condition. I like all silver in any shape or form :headbang: :metaldetector: :treasurechest: Here is the...

Well you know what they say about detecting and timing being important with the zinc cents in circulation you need to get them off the ground before they rot. I had a tip there there was some little league baseball tournaments about to occur so I found out from them when they expected them to be...

Found a spot today where some construction was going to happen they had put in fill dirt and tilled the area, I've been over the spot before they tilled it and might have got a few clad. Got some really big trash too like a 3 foot long piece of steel pipe. Today I went by there and they had...

'Superb' Wheat recoverd Every once in a while a wheat cent in 'Superb' condition will turn up. It looks even better in your hand than the photo which really doesn't do it justice, the rim feels sharp to the touch even. The clad take was 9 Quarters, 16 dimes, 1 nickel, 19 copper cents(1 was...

So I was digging a couple of 1 foot holes in the garden to plant some hops for home brewing and I noticed a coin in one of the holes. I picked it up and saw it was a penny and assumed it was a stinkin' lincoln because this house was built in the 70's. I cleaned it off anyways and to my surprise...

Went out Saturday afternoon with Mike to a local park, it was one of those kind of days with 60 seconds of footage for a 4 1/2 hour hunt. I did manage to dig my second silver of 2015. Happy Hunting ! Dave

Due to cold weather and snow here in Maryland, I did not get out to detect for a month. I'm sure many of you were in a similar situation. Today's hunt was something of a first for me, in that I found my first Mexican silver coin and the Buffalo nickel was first mint year, the earliest Buffalo...
