True Story, (this is a little song I wrote about an all time favorite find) 1914-D's are worth a good bit more now days, we found it around  1976  (included a little work demo mp3 if you care to listen just click the link below) wish I had a picture but we never took one of the coin. Lyric Below. The picture is of our Late Father, Edward Joseph Roth.

1914 D
(Kirk Roth)

I've always loved a treasure hunt Dad had a machine and he made it fun
thought someday we might find a pot of gold
One day it made a sound hard to pinpoint he said, "easy now I think it's a coin
but when you're a kid back is something hard to hold.
Well, I nicked the edge diggin' it up, never forget I dang near cussed
handed it to him and he rubbed it on his shirt
He said. "it's old and Denver mint" rubbed a little more and then he grinned,
said, "Son it's a good one," and I asked, "what's it worth"

A 1914 D
wheat penny he believed,
was worth a pretty penny
round a hundred and fifty at least
maybe two without that mark
which Dad wasn't mad at me
"you did good Son" he said,
how bout that 1914 D

We took it to a gun, knife and coin show didn't wanna sell just wanted to know
if we ever did 'bout what should we ask
we met a man there with a big display, said he had about ever coin ever made
as he looked at ours through his jewelers glass

A 1914 D
wheat penny he believed,
was worth a pretty penny
round a hundred and fifty at least
maybe two without that mark
which Dad didn't tell on me
"we did good Son" he said,
how bout that 1914 D

later on down the road hard times came and my Dad had to part with that piece of change
I hated to see it go but I wasn't mad at him, that 1914 D after all, it was made to spend

Yea, I've always loved a treasure hunt, Dad had a machine and he made it fun
thought someday we might find a pot of gold

Thanks Gypsyheart,

Dave, I've not done a full demo on this song because it's a tough pitch. I did include however, a little guitar vocal that I did on my pc. It's what we call in Nashville a work tape. Basically just a good enough recording that you don't forget it.

Thanks, and I'll be lookin' for the cd your sending.
