This battle was epic for Tanner! Tanner won the battle with Nuclear Bomb! He searched a bunch of rolls that I bought $5 at a time. I was driving North on Van Dyke in Warren, MI on my way to a show. I had some extra time so I stopped at some banks to look for halves. As usual, I always ask for $5 in cents. I will toss them in an empty box in my car for future battles. Tanner gets to choose first which box he will search. (He likes paper rolls over plastic). In his box were six rolls that had little hearts drawn on with blue ink. They were 6 solid rolls of Wheats.
Tanner ended up with 310 wheats (oldest 1917) and 2 New Pennies. Out of the 6 solid rolls 291 were common 1940's and 1950's only two were S. The other 9 found were teens, 20's and 30' (see photo) the other 10 were found in the remaining rolls. None of the coins found were needed for our Found in the Wild book, only one of Tanners was an upgrade.
Meanwhile Dad scored 9 Wheats (oldest 1931 d) This was the only coin found still needed for our Found in the Wild book. It is pretty messed up but it will fill a hole. Dad also found 2 King George's (oldest 1938)
Keep on Searching

PS The Wheat War sheet says I found 10 (typo) it was 9.
PSS I could not remember what bank I found the rolls with the hearts. We do not live that close to that area so we did not go back and search for more. These were new looking customer rolled rolls. If they had looked old when I bought them I would have given them a quick check in the car.
PSSS The second photo is Tanner and his buddy from school searching the solid rolls of wheats.
