Don't dis the Wheaties
Went on a hunt yesterday with some friends in the woods. I did a little detecting, bottle digging and just plain exploring and was sad when the sun and the temps went down.
I ended up near a large tree and got a good signal. 6 inches down I pulled out and "I dunno". After wiping it off and peering at it with no glasses I realized it was a penny. Out here? Way out here? A crummy penny? Well, alright. It's a coin. "Thank you for the coin" I said out loud to whoever was listening. A minute later I pulled out another in the same hole. Ok... Thank you... then in the same hole I got a V nickel!
This morning I cleaned them off with a Q-Tip and had a nice surprise. The V nickel is 1901 - One penny is 1911 and the other is 1918! Very very nice. I think I'm going to try that linseed oil that talked about in Indian Head Penny posted earlier!
I also included a curious little piece of plate uncovered. If it's recognized I'd love to know more!
