A few finds from Omaha and MN from when I was a teen in the 1970's

I was digging through the safe deposit box and took this pic of some finds I made as a young teenager in the 1970's. LOTS of wheaties in the cointubes. Enjoy

Thanks bro, the two gold ones in the center are VERY old and solid gold. I found them both in Millard, NE back in the day with my White's Coinmaster TR machine, mid to late 70's. Brings back memories for sure. Did you ever get hold of my buddy, Michael Jackson about the Umax?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have recorded all of the dates of the wheaties a long time ago. I was an avid coin collector as a youngster and I would always watch for key dates. Thanks, Bryan

I can just imagine. Though when I was young, I would dig almost everything. In my old age now, I am more selective, so I have not found the varied stuff I found when I was young.

Great, thanks for talking with him. He is a good guy and really has the detecting bug since I showed him the post-Revolutionary War NY Militia button I found recently. Thanks again, CW

I have alot of silver too, to go along with that, that I found as a teen, I just did not take it out to take pics. I will have to do that sometime.

No offence but I hate you !!

You could have left some more silver coins for us!!
Do you know what I have to do to find a silver quarter!!!!
All you discotectors took all the good stuff before I was even born and now you have to brag about it!!!

Just kidding I don't hate, that's life I was just in the right place at the wrong time without a machine. I asked for one as a kid but never got one... Oh well !!

Good work,
You lucky, person you...
