Found my first Wheat Penny!

[afxtwin]

5th time out in my yard with my ATP. finally heard a nice clean signal and dug it. was surprised to find a 1941-s wheat penny! noice! and the usual junk. temp was in the mid 30's with some residual snow dusting here and there. only could tolerate 30minutes before my hands said NO MORE. haha.
if it's cold where you are, STAY WARM and HH!

Awesome! I love seeing people find firsts. You will be into the silver before you know it. Good job

Nice ! , I still get a thrill when I dig a wheatie - (I know , I need to get out more -lol)

Congrats on that wheat cent..

 

[ArDirtSlinger]

Congrats and Welcome to this Addictive Hobby... First of many I'm sure

I remember my first. I still get excited. Currently at 38 wheats. My oldest coin isnt even a penny. Got a 1917 mercury dime. Have yet to find a wheat older than 1940 oddly.

Often where there are wheats, silver follows!

 

[EasternShoreMetal]

Yep, the hook is set! Wriggle all you want.. you'll be in the boat in no time. Wheats r neat - I mean a 1914 is a hundred years old..
Much better than a flip top. Thanks for posting.

Here is a good site for quick check of dates that might be good ones. I love checking my dates on all my coins, part of the fun for me.
Congrats on your find, could be more out there in your yard, keep digging!

Awesome! Congrats on your first wheat!

Psssst! get yourself some gloves and those hand warmer packets! Dress warm and your good to go! Nothing can escape you now!

My M6 gets a little slow when it's real cold so it gets a hand warmer packet wrapped around it. Works well. Now if they only made human size packets we'd all be good!

 

[sgt tee]

Silver is on the way, Take it slow, you will find your first silver coin there

 

[Ranger121]

I love finding these too. I've got a couple hundred now,,,,,,,it always tells me I'm in a good area for old stuff.

 

[Metal Illness]

Congrats, it's all over now. You're officially hooked! Silver will follow along with Indian heads............... Say goodbye to your other hobbies! lol

 

[Argentium]

Congrats, I still get a kick out of wheat, pulled two out of my snow covered yard last week. I've pulled over 20 out of my yard now and only two pre-date '40. Found my oldest about a month or so ago, a 1916. Keep going over the yard, every rain or after winter melt will cause the stuff to shift and may just be enough to catch the machines attention. Good luck and keep hunting until you can't hunt no more.

They do Msbeepbeep! Last year I bought an ice fishing suit from a shop in Minnesota. I wore it just once when it was 28 degrees when I started hunting. Sadly that was not cold enough and I was roasting within half an hour and had to take off the pants. I believe if my hands didn't get cold I could hunt in 10 below weather in that suit.........LOL
