1st penny

[laurahatt214]

I know everyone else has found lots of stuff that would put my penny down to shame lol, but yesterday we found our first penny, our first coin and our first find at a beach all in one lol.

I cant tell you how excited or how happy I was in that moment lol!

Congrats on your first find! You're close to some real old country down there so I'm sure it's only a matter of time until you hit it big. Good luck!

Excellent
"The First Coin" deserves a coin folder.
Put the date, location, and the word "FIRST" on it.
Congratulations

Congrats! I can't say I remember my first coin.. however I remember hunting with this bad boy in the early 80's and found my first bullet! You would have thought is was solid gold!

I still have that bullet somewhere..

First coin is definitely a milestone. It's something that that was lost forever until you came along.

sent from my computer by frantically poking at the keyboard with a single finger

The "first" is ALWAYS special!! Congrats!

And it's a good thing that it's "only" a penny. Plenty of room to move up!

 

[laurahatt214]

Thank you everyone! It is a great feeling. We went out today after work for a bit, not to the beach, but just our yard and found a grounding rod lol, a steel pipe, lots of nails, some plastic, some bullets (maybe), a piece of wood from the old house and the end of a hoe.
