In my own yard I dug a 1945 wheatie and got more signals in the hole. I was expecting silver or more wheats but pulled out a zinc then a copper penny then a clad dime. During the hunt I also dug an old button.
Congratulations on the Wheat Cent! No telling how it got there in the same hole with the newer coins. Either it was in the same pocket change with them or the soil was disturbed later on and moved them together?
Ya my yard has been very good to me that 1945 wheat was the latest wheat penny I have dug in my yard. Over time i dug several early 1900s pennies and a 1900 Indian. I also dug a ccc ring and an old pocket knife
