Found some wheats today!!!! So I went to the store with my Daughter and decided I would make a storage display case for my coins I bought the wood strips a piece of wood panel to glue the strips on plastic facial piece glue ect this holds from 1943 to 1959 I drop the coins down the slot I'm still filling the slots just took a pic of what I started I have over 1000 wheats plus it was raining and I was bored all my silver is in other display cases I'm making my basement man cave!! I think my Daughter thinks I'm crazy Dad why do you spend hours in the cold and rain for a few pennies and some old dirty coins? Why do you spend $ 14.00 on stuff to make a display case for 50 cents worth of pennies ? Dad I can give you some change new coins!!!! Dad can we get a sandbox so we can dig coins here, then from the kitchen the wife yells out... no we cant get a sandbox the cats in the neighborhood will try to bury your dad!!!! Ha Ha Now plug your nose and in a high note say I hope you not going to bring that into the house!!! nice and good till my gold goes for a new water heater or when the kids want some jewelry. My wife is supportive but only a detectorist will understand the excitement and fun of finding old stuff and not buying from a coin store. You people get it I love the hobby! and I am a little crazy!!!!!!! Ive been detecting for years you have to be patient optimistic love being outside yes and spend hours outside and possibly come home with a penny or two sometimes and love every minute of it Yep I am a little or a lot CRAZY!!!!! 20170320_165553 (1).jpg20170320_165607 (1).jpg20170320_165706 (1).jpg20170326_150157.jpg20170326_150208.jpg20170326_150223 (1).jpg20170326_150548 (1).jpg20170326_162351_001.jpg20170326_165616 (1).jpgNow I gotta do a few for 1900 to 1943 Out of the thousand plus wheats I have no 1949 ???

Now you just need to make one for me and bring down here for our Ohio hunt! Ha...keep doin what ur doin bud...u make me laugh and I need that ! Great display case...u got some mad skilz! Ddf
 

Wow, and I thought my display cases were over the top ! That is dedication to display Tommy. Nice job.
 

Nice display case
 

Tommy, great work on the display case! I'd say you are absolutely normal when it comes to detecting. When we can't be outside, we look at our finds!
 

Nice case, reminds me of plinko.
 

Wish I could find wheat's let alone display them
 

The nuthouse isn't full yet, come on in! Lol :laughing7:
 

The display case is nice. The over the top part is each wheat in its own coin holder. Wow!
 

All aboard!!!!! The crazy train has arrived
 

Everyone who has gone out for many hours for a few pennies and loved it and are going to do it again Get on Board were going full steam to the Booby hatch. As the wife says I need all the sense I can get .And to all the people who ask if you are looking for treasure h!!! Yes TOOOOOT TOOOOT!!!!!!
