He's refering to the "modern" pennies with the Lincoln Memorial on the back as opposed to the older "wheaties" with two wheat stalks.

Those look like the old tokens that you could buy from a machine that stamped them out at an amusement park. I remember them as a kid being made out of aluminum or brass. If I remember correctly the machine had a dial that you turned to select a letter then pulled a lever to stamp it. Then you selected another letter - and so on. It usually cost about $.25 to make one.

Just a thought.

These backyard digs are in some ways better than those from Civil War sites. It's your home and it's history.

Great finds!
