My first steel war penny

[UnEarthed72]

This is pretty exciting for me because it's my 1st ever 1943 steel war penny.

I was detecting along a sandy river bank yesterday with not too much luck,i found 12 clad pennies that took me and hour of searching(nothing special),and lots of junque.So i started heading to my car and kept thinking to myself maybe if I went out to the end of that sandy little peninsula that I brushed off there could be something there,I turned around and made my way to the edge of the sandy out cropping swung about 3 minutes then got a hit,I then started to dig and 3 inches in I found this(yes it's not the rare copper coated war penny but still a real nice find worthy of a post)it really made my day.

Thanks for looking
stay safe & HH
