My First Wheatie!!!!!!!

[Desertvet]

Okay, I just got back from the local park here in my town that I hunt about once a week, and I decided instead of hunting around the kids play area where I normally hunt...I'd venture off into the grassy areas surrounding the basketball courts, and man am I glad I did! I got my first wheatie at 4" under the grass!!!! It looks to be in pretty good shape too! I also managed to pull up a 1982 Canadian penny from around the same area, and a key. Did okay with the clad, and also dug up a necklace pendant in the shape of a palm tree. A great day indeed!!!! I love my Ace 150! Happy hunting to you all!

Nice score! And yeah, it's in terrific shape! I've only found a couple wheaties in better shape myself.

I also really like that palm tree--is it enamelled?

Happy Hunting and may the Wheatie God bless you further!

Congrats on your first wheat. I remember my first wheat 15 years ago. I still very much like to dig them.

huge congrats! keep hunting out of the way areas like that. Some of my best finds happen when I use intuition.

Congrats on your first Wheat Cent Desertvet!

This is very good advice, "keep hunting out of the way areas"!
This has paid off for me as well!

Best of luck to you,
Dave

I love md'ing over the wood chips...so easy to locate deep targets, and just as easy to dig up!

congrats on the first! I still remember mine, in the woodchips just barely under the top layer
