51 wheats in an hour...

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Met up with some buddies to explore a couple 1800’s dots in the park woods. The first dot ended up being a total bust, stone foundation covered in modern trash dump. Second location had been graded over when we found a cinder block foundation and chimney popping out of the woods a bit further down stream.

The three of us ended up honing in on the side yard and popped 51 wheat pennies in 60 minutes. Many were 1” down or in the leaf clutter, strange but fun burst of digging.

Here is my handful from the weekend, less the wheats.


Been finding lots of old mining artifacts lately, this was a big one.



Good luck out there!

Nice finds Thad.

Yeah we got lucky with the last site that saved the day for us.

Always a fun time hanging out and tracking down some history. Hopefully we can get out again this weekend.

Great job that looks like a hunt in heaven isn’t virgin ground? What is the token with freedom on it? Man what a great time y’all had

Thx Truth! The token is a WW2 era “No Cash Value type”.

I would have liked to have seen that wheat ear feeding frenzy At least you got an eleventh hour bump to your silver count. Congrats on your new digging tool as well

Thx Steve! With so many wheats we were definitely hoping some more interesting silvers would pop as well, so yes there was about a 30 minute frenzy, then it slowed down to nothing. FYI, we didn’t dig a single nickel... too tired at the end of the hunt to deal with all the shotgun headstamps.
