Hey y'all

I went to a house on my street built In 1948 and got a bunch of wheats

Nothing spectacular I thought until I saw tha the 1931-s was a semi key date. Cool

Nice, its always a plus to find something a little more rare than the rest. Keep at it, looks like your almost at 300! :occasion14:
 

Awesome! Those are nice finds! Aren't you glad you went MD'ing today's. HH!
 

All very nice finds by themselves. Did you get the silver Washington too?
 

Way to go on the semi-key wheat. Well done.
Tootsie Toys were way cool back then. Just dug one today myself. :thumbsup:
Congrats,
MM
 

I love the knife and toy car. Here is some more good luck on the next hunt!:4leafclover:
 

A couple of years ago i was going through some of my dug wheats, and discovered i had a 1931-S. I usually don't look at my wheaties real carefullyIMG_1152.webp
 

I know for a fact that I have at least a dozen 1912-D dug cents. When I first started hunting in 1960, I would roll my wheats by decade, 1909 thru 1919 in one roll, 1920 thru 1929 in another, etc etc. I got so many 1912-D's that I was putting them in a roll all by themselves. I also have many, many "S" wheats in the teens. That will be a winter project.....opening and re-rolling all 196 + rolls of wheats:BangHead:.......nge
 

Congrats on the semi key wheat cent, i found nine 1914 wheats this year, think one would have been a D mint...Noooooope...
 

Great Find man...Sometimes those Key Dates and Semi Keys are worth Alot more than Silver :icon_thumleft:
 

Just love seeing those old finds coming back to light!

WTG!
 

Thank y'all
