My First Wheat!

[jgowans]

I went to my favorite park today. I was hitting the typical clad and a mashed up airplane. Then a nice older lady was walking her dog and stopped to ask if I would help find her earring. I told her yes I would be glad to help and turned down her $50 offer. The chance to hunt her yard was payment enough. It was a 1928 house in a really nice neighborhood.

She lost the earring about a month ago between her front door and the street. Add to that, the yard work, leaf blowers and the chance someone picked it up.... I never did find it.

The sidewalk was brick and I got a lot of hits and coins in the cracks. The 1948 wheat was near the steps at the street.
Add to that a '62 memorial, and '40 and '62 Jefferson nickels and I had a good day.

WTG on your first wheatie

Try hunting the yard again if you can - there's probably some good targets you may have missed the first time.

Your story reminds me of earlier in the year when an older lady had me look for a ring she lost. She showed me exactly where she lost it in the yard. I checked very thoroughly and couldn't find it. I knew if a ring was there (especially a freshly dropped one) I would find it. I made it a challenge to myself and came back the next day, but still no ring.

Later in the week, her son told me she found it in her house on the floor

Either way, you got a yard out of it and you'll always remember where your first wheat penny was found.
