First wheat penny ever

[dougrchamberlain]

No picture since everyone knows what a penny looks like... But I found my first wheat penny today. It was in my friends neighbor's yard (vacant house) It was a 1951. That makes it the oldest thing I've ever found also.

You dig good, Doug! I've been at this for over a year and have only found a few coins older than myself! I'm still looking for an indian head and a buffalo......I've got my Mercs! This hobby is addicting.....each recovery makes you itch for the next one. Wishing you continued success....

Congrats! You'll find many more!

That's the ticket Doug! Now if you are finding wheaties that old, you can find a dime in there somewhere, that old. Then you'll have your first silver! Hit it hard until you do!

Hey, congrats on your Wheatie! It took me nearly a year to find one, although my son had found several dozen by then, some in the same locations I detect! My first one was followed a few minutes later by a second one a few feet away.. I think you'll probably find more Wheaties or some nice silver in your present location. Andi

Once you start finding wheaties, silver is just right down the road!! CONGRATS!
