Congrats to you! :occasion14:
I would be more excited over the Merc than the Wheatie.
My Deus sucks Merc's out of the ground like a vacuum!
Love Merc's!

Iā€™ve been on a ā€œFirst findā€ tour this year. My first Merc was about 3 months ago. I was totally psyched about the 1933 when she surface today. But I have a lot of clad pennies leading up to this wheat penny. Itā€™s ofically in the books now.

Congrats. I found a coin from 1845 last Sunday, but still haven't found a merc or wheatie. Keep up the good work.

The 1st year does give you the opportunity to dig many 1st's, glad you checked that one off the list. :icon_thumleft: When possible I recommend you grid all permissions in at least 2 directions and then go back with a small coil and see what you can find in the trashy areas.

Thank Loco- Yes, 7 months in and Iā€™m so hooked. Enjoying and growing everyday. Rookie season has provided great finds and a lot of fun. Good to go for 2018!

I gotcha now. I found my first Wheatie my first time swinging in my front yard. Took a few months before I found any Silver.
Looks like you are hooked on swinging like me! Good luck to you on the rest of your firsts! :occasion14:
