It can be so disappointing when you metal detecting for hours on end only to end up with a bunch of trash and modern clad.
Today I went for an hour after dropping my son back at the University. I did find a bunch of clad but also a 1964 nickel and a 1942 Wheat Penny.

I'm starting to hunt older parks now so hopefully I'll get some silver eventually.. 20190805_190946.webp

Just keep doing what you’re doing. The silver will come! Congrats!

Try to find older areas and don't be afraid to door knock. Dress nicely. It works for me.
 

Congrats on Wheat #1! Now you can go for the silver and gold!
 

Congrats on your first wheat and be patient, the good stuff will come...
 

Congrats on your first wheat. The silver is right around the corner for you..
 

Nice work scoring your first wheat. Congrats and GL out there.
 

It'll be easier now the skunk is off...
 

Congrats on your first Wheat. Your on the right track, hunt the older places and you will find the older items. Dont be afraid to door knock. Private yards are the best place to be. You will be told "no" every now and then. Just thank them for their time and move on to another door.

Hi Smokeythecat,

Do you dress nicely and come back another day in detecting clothes or seize the moment and detect the say day as your granted permission?
 

Your first wheatie! Nice....now if it was onky a 1943 instead of a 1942 it would top most silvers! [emoji6]! Happy hunting.
 

The addiction begins. Congrats. Whenever I find a wheatie I know I am potentially in a good spot!
 

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Not Smokey, but, if I am given permission, I seize the moment. Too often if I come back later, they changed their mind.
Good luck!

Nice finds! Keep digging everything for awhile, you will be surprised at what you uncover. :occasion14:
 

Good job save it in a nice coin holder research will help detect hills trust me. Many more good stuff will come. Tommy
 

Congrats on your first wheat! It's like fishing, one good nibble and it keeps you going.

The wheat penny is often times an indicator that silver could be near by. Keep working areas where you find wheat pennies, the silver is sure to follow.
