wheat penny

I took my four year old son out to the woods for a couple hours to do some metal detecting. It was quiet at first until If found a 1919 s wheatie in great shape with very little oxidation. A few feet away I found the bridle rosette. Shortly thereafter I found the trade token. I did some...

I went out to the woods for a couple hours today before the big snow storm tomorrow. I first decided to poke around a bit in the old dump and found a couple old milk bottles and a horseshoe The CDCO bottle is from the Central Dairy Company of Rockford, IL. The bottle embossed "WAIT" I have no...

just got it in my pocket change today!! 2018

Found these over the weekend on the east coast of Florida after Hurricane Irma. I was digging at night around midnight not really seeing exactly what I was finding. I knew they were coins and a nail in a piece of wood, but turns out they were all pretty darn old finds.

Hi all, I finally got around to getting a new video published to share with you all so feel free to like and subscribe. More to come too! :icon_thumright:

This is a small buckle I recovered today(01.31.2017) in the Free State of Jones aka Jones County Mississippi. The property could have had people on it previous to the Civil War. The little Buckle measures 1/2" X 13/16" and appears to be made out of copper with no markings that I can find. I'd...

If someone has an idea of what year or type of coin this is I would be happy to know. I believe it to be a British Cent (Queen Victoria) coin. Please let me know. Thanks

We went here yesterday for about 2 hours and we found two large cents a wheat penny, some old relics and a coin I believe is a Queen Victoria from the 1800's. I'm gonna post my video here from youtube and anyone has any idea of exactly what this coin is please comment. Thanks alot Our...

Hi guys! I just joined the other day (although this isn't my first post) and posted a question about an arrowhead. Today I want to find some information anyone has on the San Fransciso Mint Wheat Penny I received as change. I already know it was minted in San Franscico, but what other...

So I was digging a couple of 1 foot holes in the garden to plant some hops for home brewing and I noticed a coin in one of the holes. I picked it up and saw it was a penny and assumed it was a stinkin' lincoln because this house was built in the 70's. I cleaned it off anyways and to my surprise...

Went back to the park where I've done most of my detecting this year and ran into a club member who usually gets some good finds there and recently unearthed a seated dime at Druid Hill Park. Congrats to John. I hadn't found an Indian Head today and decided to "call it quits", so I made a...

So dug through my car(I deliver pizza's, so change is everywhere).. and I have like 10 wheat pennies. don't think any are superwow, but there is this one. I don't know what it is, but you can barely see it with the naked eye at all. I didn't want to clean it because I heard the vinegar/salt...

The highlight of the first hunt was the wheat penny and the crushed aluminum kids ring. Straightened that out, too bad its a no fit me ring lol ! Second hunt the best item was a 1925 Buffalo Nick ! Sure was hard to get it out of the ground, must have spent over 5 minutes extracting it...

I thought that this thread idea would be kind of cool. I'm wondering how long it took you to find, and if you found each find, Putting which region you live in would help: Ex. Midwestern United States wheat penny (Me: a week (1915D) ) Part Indian head cent (Me: a year (1864) ) silver...

I was hunting a park out here in the Saint Louis area and came across some wheat pennies but there was something about them that was strange. The thing is, I found four of them on two separate hunts. They were all under trees and all polished in the same manner, all wrapped in plastic and...

Unless you're like me and have not found a wheat penny in a month :crybaby2:, you have most likely found quite a few (like 15 since I started in march,Yes not many). Anyway, what is your most common year of wheat penny. Mine is 1956 D, I have found about 5 out of 15 from that year.

Hello all, I am new to this site and found this while wrapping coins. I don't know what D/S Wheat Pennies mean so if someone could use simple language when explaining what it is it would be super helpful! Thanks! There are 2 pictures (with questionable quality of photo taking, Sorry!)

Firstly, I'm new to the forum but have been seriously metal detecting for about a year. I have made some great finds over the last year including an 1841 Dutch half cent and lots of silver from rings to coins. I hunt Saint Louis and Saint Charles Missouri mostly. So, today I'm on a hunt in a...

I metal detected for half a hour and found 1959 D penny at a 1950s school. I am metal detecting again today maybe at a school that was made in about 1810 that is still around. Yes, 1810 not 1910. or maybe a school made in 1900. I was wondering how long does it take to find a wheat. I have metal...
