sjmpainter Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Way to go Eric! You have me beat for an old coin find. Hay got your text. Sorry I didn't reply if you saw my phone you would understand........ Heading out for a few on vaca but when I get back let's hook up and do some detecting. I'm thinking spring will be early. Kind of interesting the dirt parking lots have been some of the most productive places to hunt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LipCa Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 At least you're able to find a "wheatie". They don't show up all that often anymore. Seems I find more in pocket change then detecting. More silver is next..... Oops, you said 68 dime..... Silver IS NEXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the coin! Yours is in decent shape. I remember when they were all that way, but then again I used to pick them out of change all the time. Now it is getting hard to read the dates on Wheaties when I find them, time and fertilizer taking its toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nice work. I remember complaining to myself about not finding any wheats when I first started.. In fact I found an indian head before my first wheat....soon they will start popping out of the ground as fast as you can dig them. Found a 1916 wheat the other day...gave it to the lady that let me detect on her property because it was probably one her dad lost. He died when she was three...The thrill is in the hunt! strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
