You dig good, Doug! I've been at this for over a year and have only found a few coins older than myself! I'm still looking for an indian head and a buffalo......I've got my Mercs! This hobby is addicting.....each recovery makes you itch for the next one. Wishing you continued success....

That's the ticket Doug! Now if you are finding wheaties that old, you can find a dime in there somewhere, that old. Then you'll have your first silver! Hit it hard until you do!

Congrats on the first... It will be the first of many to come and they will get older as you go. :thumbsup:

Hey, congrats on your Wheatie! It took me nearly a year to find one, although my son had found several dozen by then, some in the same locations I detect! My first one was followed a few minutes later by a second one a few feet away.. I think you'll probably find more Wheaties or some nice silver in your present location. Andi
