My first decent coin, Ok coin :)

[Darod]

Hey everyone,

I finally found something other than modern coins. It's nothing special, I don't think, but it's a bit older than the stuff I've found so far.

I found a wheat penny dated 1929 in pretty good shape. I also found almost $3.00 in clad today. I'll post photos tomorrow as it's late and I'm beat!

Hey there's nothing wrong with wheaties...I really like them! If I hunt all day and all I find is a wheatie.........it's a great day!! Good job! Keep up the good work!!H.H.

Anything old is great!

Good job 8) Wheaties are a good sign as it means there might be silver there and were frequently lost with merc dimes

 

[Darod]

Thanks for the encouragement guys

Good point True! I'll go back and double check that entire area in all metal mode!
I took some pics of the wheatie but forgot to bring my xd card reader with me so I can't download them right now. I'll work on that today and get the pic out there.

Thanks again guys.

Hey where you find wheats you find silver...HH

Good going Darod. Take it slow and easy, when you go back. You may be surprised at what comes out of the ground. If it is not too trashy an area, you may want to try hunting in the Relic mode. The coins will still "ring out" and you may find some decent relics, also.
Congratulations.

It's funny TM mentioned that, I found my first merc with a wheatie in the same hole on top of one another!!

 

[treasure_lady]

Way to go! I'll bet you'll find more when you go back!

 

[True_Metal]

Yeah, i would pound that spot good as there just might be some other goodies lurking in the depths? 8)

 

[Darod]

Well,

I made it back there today but I couldn't hit that exact spot. I didn't want to ask the people there to get up and move.

Anyhow, I'll try again tomorrow.

Here is the pic of the wheatie I promised:

Here is a link to where I have all the pics of it: http://www.ao-fl.com/myfinds/1_24_05/
