Today I went to my old trusty back yard to hunt a little. My dad, mlhudson, had been excavating a spot where he recovered a big shovel, wheat penny, and a silver rosy dime. So I decided to go check it out. In about an hour, I recovered a 1901 Indian and a 1950-D Wheat penny. Not sure what's on the back of the wheaty, but it's something white. It was found near a lot of glass and stuff. Not a bad day. Thanks for looking!
I have been detecting for about 4 months now, and I am finding great stuff!!!
It may sound odd, but I really admire that 1950D wheatie you found. For some reason, the soil around here is not nice to wheaties of the early 1950's. Wheaties from the 20's, 30's, and 40's come out looking much better than those of the early fifties. Good luck with finding more at that site!
Thanks Allen, I hope theres more where it came from! Especially considering my dad found an 1889 Indian Head also on Sunday. And I found a 1930-S Wheat(which is in much worse shape than the 1950!). We also recovered 2 more bottles and 2 1/2 marbles! Lol Well thanks and HH

Thanks terfpan. I've been lucky to find wheats in such good shape. Almost like they're still in circulation! Lol But I go a 1930-S Wheat on Sunday that is just BLACK!!! But its ok. My dad found an 1889 Indian Head! And the area we live in, only came around in the 1930's!!! HH
