Whelp, I got out for a hunt today, and instead of hunting a local park, (still looking for that first gold ring) I decided to hit an old "hunted out" location. I'll tell ya, this location, just a block from my house has yielded more treasure for me then any other place I've hunted, I finally thought I had found everything of value on this little plot of land, but thought hey, it would be nice to revisit the old stomping ground, boy am I glad I did! In the course of a 3 hour hunt (my longest ever) I found a civil war era button (the 4th from this site) 9 wheat pennies, 12 memorials, 6 clad coins, a metal golf tee (?) a gold button thingy, a gold plated earring, some junky metal ring thing, and a mercury dime! You may be thinking, "hey, that's not so great!" But that's because I haven't mentioned the best part! When I got home to clean up the "junky finds" I decided that instead of just dumping them all in my finds jar, I would clean em' up and read the dates, low and behold, the last coin I pulled out of the lemon juice was a 1914-D Wheat Penny! I almost fainted.... The photo doesn't do the coin justice, it's absolutely beautiful, the only problem it has is that the D is invisible to the naked eye, i was really dissapointed when I thought it was just a 1914, but looked at it under this magnification thing I got for christmas and voila! There it was! Plain as day under 20X magnification! THE D!!!! This may not be such a great find for some of you out there, who have found oodles and oodles of gold and diamonds and junk, but to me this is a real find. I hope you enjoyed my story.
