My first old coin!

[Hughie]

My first old coin! Today in a tot lot I found a 1944 wheat penny, might not seem like much to the seasoned detectorists but today for me it's gold. I get a kick out of all the junk I dig up, but it's nice to get something extra cool on occasion.

Congratulations on your first Wheat Penny.
Put it in a coin folder. Mark the date and location of where you found it. Then it will fit right in with the first Indian Head Penny that I know you will find soon.

Yes, that is what I do. I have a bunch of different coin folders. I have 16 currently: 1 for shield pennies, 5 for memorials, 1 for wheaties, 1 for the new nickels, 1 for the bicentennial nickels, 1 for old jefferson nickels, 2 for dimes, 1 for state parks quarters, 1 for state quarters, 1 for eagle quarters, and 1 for tokens. I mark the first of everything in a google docs, and where and what month i achieved it.
