Ok so maybe not ancient no wheat pennies but here is the story. When I was about 8yrs old I wrapped a bunch of pennies in foil bound it with yarn and buried it outside. I remember doing this, but I don't know what in the world I was thinking when I did it, I was probably bored and saw something on TV about treasure. Who would think years later I would spend a day at my folks recovering it. I dug so much tin foil and beer tabs before locating it that it just was not funny!
I wish I could have found a bunch of pennies I buried when I was a kid, they would all be wheat's with a few zink/steels. Oh to be thirty two again, hell I got underware older then thirty two.
