Stopped the other day at a church I had secured permission to hunt.This church is not that old but while hunting some old piles of dirt that were on the edge of the woods I got a zinc penny signal on the Prism IV. It was heavily corroded but I could see the O on the back where the O would be in ONE CENT, telling me it was a wheat.I tumbled it twice and took a toothpick to it and would'nt ya know it, my oldest wheat ever, a 1910. I ruined the coin by tumbling it because it knocked a lot of the corrosion off,revealing some powder blue wounds.It was also bubbled up in spots just like a zincoln would do,strange.Any way if I had'nt cleaned it I never would have been able to get a date on it, oh well. :dontknow:

Cool "church key", Congrats on the old wheat, I believe the 1910 S is one to look out for. :thumbsup:

Good luck,
HH.
