Not a bad looking wheat penny, if you found it in your yard I'd be looking for Abe's silver friends. Can't help you on the value other than to say that I think alot of wheat penny's really aren't worth much but depending on year and mint mark etc they can have some value.

LCS is the best place for coins. However the wheatie isn't worth your time for one trip unless you have bucket fulls. My LCS pays 2.5 cents per wheat.

Well, first off congrats on your first. Second, if your in it to make money or just to "sell your treasures" there are far better ways to make money. As far as where to sell your treasures, it depends on what the treasure is. For coins you could always take them to a coin shop or just try ebay. As far as wheat pennies go at 2.5 cents each for most it would take about 9,000 of them to pay for an Ace 250. Sure some will "book" for more than that but you will seldom get anywhere near book value for a coin and if it is in "dug" condition you can pretty much forget it. As far as money goes your best bet is gold jewelry at the beach. At gold prices right now it wouldn't take very many rings to make a nice little bit of profit. Don't want to sound like a buzz kill but I have seen too many people in the last couple of years watch a tv show and go right out and buy a detector thinking they are going to be able to do the same thing and it just doesn't work that way. This is a hobby that should be enjoyed as a HOBBY. The thrill of the hunt type of thing. When you go out wondering how much you are going to be able to make that day then it becomes a job. A very low paying job.

Don't worry about selling coins/treasures. Silver will go for 10% under melt where I am, and copper coins, unless rare, go for nothing. There won't be a line up at your door for every wheat cent you dig. Enjoy the hobby, but don't go into thinking you are going to be making money from every dig.

I got lucky one time and found a copper artifact which I sold to museum. I was using a $425 dollar detector, the artifact was worth more, but in all my years detecting, that was the only find worth "big" bucks. I am not saying this to be a dick, just letting you know that most stuff you dig, including coins are not worth a ton.

I agree on that. I like the outdoors and never knowing what you might dig next. My at pro paid for itself pretty quick as far as value is concerned though so you could make a few bucks here and their if you can part with the finds. In my case so far my wife seems to get all the jewelry.
