Slow today today but 1 good find

[Beeps in my sleep]

I have a pretty bad chest cold right now but cant stop metal detecting in the cold. It is a bit windy and chilly here in shippensburg today. I went out for about half hour dug 6 stinkin lincolns but not all were bad. Found me another Wheat this time 1940. I now have 1929 1925 1940 and 1945 wheat cents from my own yard haha. Sorry its no gem for you guys but i love these wheats

hey it's a good find. Since the era of zinc pennies began, I'm actually pretty happy to find wheaties.

Nothing wrong with finding wheats. It's a good sign, and some of them are over 100 years old already.
Congrats,

Thanks guys! My house was built around 1900 which would explain all the old wheats and other odds and ends I have posted like the 1932 washington hatchet pin. Any coin older than mid 1900s I am happy with. And the newer ones pay for my batteries haha! But thanks again for the compliments treasurenet friends

I always get excited when I find a wheatie with the idea that if somebody was dropping change in the 1909-1958 time span maybe a dime, quarter, or more eluded the owners pockets, and I may score some nice silver. Once I find a wheatie on a sight I will start digging more questionable tones in hopes to grab those deeper heavier coins. Sometimes it pays off, mostly not but it does tell me there is a chance of silver nearby when you find that copper date stamped time capsule. Great find and keep searching that yard. I dug ALOT of wheat pennies out of mine thinking I found everything and then started pulling indian cents and a few dimes out of the dirt. In fact I have paid for my detector (fisher f2) just in lost change and jewelry in my own 2 acre yard. Well that is if I sold any of my finds and didn't horde them in boxes like a troll. BTW your avatar cracks me up.
