Well...I can Now Say: "I've Been to Wheat Penny City"!
I'm exhausted. I hunted from sunrise to sunset in a city park. I started in the baseball / soccer field and pulled out 12 wheat pennies, a 44-S merc dime, and a 43-S silver war nickel. The coins in this area were extremely deep, most barely audible at the 8 to 9 inch range. My 8 inch coil was straining to get these. I then moved to the other side of the park on a slope area and was digging wheat penny after wheat penny, one hole had 3 wheat pennies in the same hole. Another hole had 4! Virtually all the wheaties were exactly 6 inches deep. After digging about 15 wheaties I finally hit my first silver, it was a 45-S war nickel that was hit by a lawnmower. I kept digging wheaties, another 12 with no other silver coins!? By the time it was getting dark about 5:30pm I had 27 wheaties ! 27 wheaties from the slope area and another 12 from the soccer field, 39 total! A sterling silver Jesus medal would top off the day.
