Today I found my first wheat - actually 4 of them. I know that is not a big deal to a lot of you guys but to me it is awsome. I have been detecting for less than a year and I am still in the learning stages of this terriffic hobby.

I am finally learning the MXT I think. My wife bought me the 4x6 DD coil this weekend and today was my first day using it - I was detecting in my in-laws front lawn, which used to be a large peach orchard. I have detected there several times before and only found clad - today I only had about 30 minutes to detect and this is what I found.

Lots of clad and then the good stuff - a 1956 wheat, my daughter dug it out, a very good 1941, a bent 1953 and my favorite, a very worn 1911!!!

Now I just have to find more time to go back and find the silver!!! Thanks for looking guys.

WTG! Congrats!
Looks like you really scubbed on these,
they almost look shiney.
Be careful not to clean old coins too much,
you can really take the $ value out of them.

Good luck pulling some silver soon!

Smiles!
