A good start and a great year. (Only because I was born that year)
I know you will find hundreds more.

I remember when I got my first one... it took about a month... and boy was I happy!
Congrats and best of luck to you... and your brother, I assume that's your brother in the avatar pic.

Don't stop. Where you find the wheat the silver and gold is nearby.

Congratulations on your first wheat penny.
There will be many more but that one is special.
Put it in a coin folder and mark it with the date and location where you found it.

Congrats on digging your 1st wheat. They are a clue to what else may be at that site. In 25 months I have dug over 500 of them, still looking for my 1st VDB though.

Thanks all, this one is certainly special to me but I'm sure more will follow in time. Just got a little over excited when I saw the green tinge in the sand.
Carolina Tom, the guy in the pic is my other half (would be a funny bro and sis combo since I'm Aussie and he is American hehe). He just isn't into all this as much as I am but he still hunts with me most of the time.

Congratulations on a first! Pretty soon you will have silver or gold and start digging into the 1800,s. That will get him stoked for sure. Happy hunting.
