My sister calls this morning, and says she got an 20 in a bank deposit and wants to know if i want to buy it.( she works at a bank.....duh ;) ). So i grab 20 dollars worth of rolled pennies and head to town. When i get there she has 200.00 dollars worth of 1950 20's. I was estatic! This is the only one i bought. A 1950 c star note! it does have a little writing on it though.. :'( . Then i go to check out a new spot to detect and found a few wheaties 41,44,51 and a 6 oz coke bottle in the creek bank. No pics of these yet. It is so grown up, i can only swing about 8" in either direction. It does look promising. I kinda felt like gypsyheart today :D

Nice finds in both spots! There's gotta be something older there with that many wheats in the same spot..... Best of luck! :)

Very nice!!! Good spot to hunt and the 20 bill. Makes for a good day.
And makes me miss the old paper currency that had a paragraph, instead of just a line. That said; This note is legal tender for all debts public and private that you can hand over to your Bookie for the lost bets on horses that you know nothing about and thereby not having to tell your wife, cause if she knew, she would take everything else in court, so help her god. Or something along those lines anyway. WTG!! HH

No idea if it's worth anything. I have a 1917 $1.00 bill that's huge though. Have you checked what paper currency is worth? I'm interested to know if it's worth more than face value? HH, Mike

Congrats on your wheats, and that is a nice looking twenty. Go to love a sister that works in a bank. Looks like you just might have a great spot to hunt. Good luck.

WTG Every day is great when you have a chance to hunt.
Maybe you can find a hungry beaver to help you make swinging room.

I bought a COINS MAGAZINE @ walmart, and it lists it from 100.00 to 400.00. :o With the writing i'm sure its around the 100.00 or less. :'(Will coin dealers generally buy paper currency?......... Altogether she has found well over 500.00 worth of 1950 twenty's, that somebody has deposited. There has to be a story there somewhere. Maybe someone found a stash and didnt realize they were worth more than 20.00 apiece.........No gypsy jigs, but i did do the toyota jump up in the air and clicked my heels together ;) .....I'll keep my eye out for a hungry beaver :D
