Wheat penny cache!

[Coin catcher]

I found this last summer. I was detecting on some torn up sidewalk on a path to the beach, but wasn’t finding much. After a while of only find tinfoil and the occasional memorial or shield back, I Decided to head down to an area on the beach where a portion of an old house fell down due to erosion. On my first wheat penny. I was excited. After Only finding trash, this was a great find. I decided to detect longer, and found about ten more. I eventually just decided to go through the mound of sand with my pin pointer. About 5 wheat pennies later, I pulled what I thought was a heavy short pipe out of the sand. On closer inspection, I saw the words: “ one hundred cigaretteten” I grew curious and shook it. I about had a heart attack when I heard jingling metal inside! I took it home and hit it gently with a hammer and wheats pennies spilled out, including four steel ones. This is by far my favorite thing I have ever found!!!

That is fantastic. Better even than silver in some ways....

I’ve found the occasional coin spill, but never a cache. A great save. Your persistence paid off.

Those are in good shape, too. What's the date range?

They’re relatively new. 1930’s to 1950’s
