New @ it and starting out Large!!

[froggy1967]

Hi everyone! Really love this site and finally figured out how to share my finds. Just started out my new Hobby in the spring and had a chance spend a week at my Mom and Dad's old farm in Ohio. Dad claims from history books in the area that it was settled in the early 1800's. Found quite a bit of junk but also some keepers. I found the Large cent out by the creek and my mom said she thought I one the lottery....needless to say I was a little exited The 1909 wheat was another great find, maybe you guys can help me figure out if it is a VDB or not.

Welcome to Thnet. Looks like you are doing Ok. What detector are you using and what county was you at in Ohio.....Matt

Ty Matt! I am using a Pioneer 505 that my hubby bought me, it seems to be doing a pretty good job. The farm is located in Montgomery county, not far from Preble.

Well done! I like the WB&C buckle too!
Welcome!

Ty, I like the buckle also....been trying to search the company online to find out what it was used for and from what time frame, but have not had any luck.

VDB is at the very bottom on back where it's green right now.... hot peroxide will clean the green off but may take some detail with it..depends how corroded the penny is...

I took your advise on the hot peroxide and found that it was not a VDB...Oh well still a neat find
