Shot Wheat Penny

[Recovering Relics]

Hey everyone. I went metal detecting in my yard and I detecting around the big apple tree in my yard. I got a signal on high sensitivity and switched over to low sensitivity and it was still giving a good signal, so I dug down and I saw what appeared to be a shot penny. When I saw that it had been shot, I knew it was a wheat penny for some reason. It was a 1952-D Wheat Penny, my third wheat penny of 2010, my second found in my yard in 2010, and I think my 8th found in my yard ever. It is a really cool find, and my yard keeps on giving up great finds! HH!
