Default First Wheat

Finally after pulling over 100 coins (78 penny's). I dug a 1942 wheat.
I wonder how many it will take before I hit a silver?
It's not much but its a first for me.

Even after finding my first silver (1945 Washington quarter) I still get excited when I find wheaties.
Besides the fact that they are neat, they are a sign that you may be in a site where silver can be found.

Congrats and keep it up!

Congrats! There are lots more to come I am sure. Ballpark figure in my area; 10-15 wheats to the silver.

I just got my 1st wheat like 2 hours ago just walked in from my morning hunt.

I also detected something in a ant hill. And it was a underground ant hill so i didn't see it till i started digging deep. It was a massive one though chewed me up pretty good sucked.

Mine is a 1955 wheat.

8 silvers to 1 wheat. I like that ratio much better.

I'm kinda weird but....so far I've dug 5014 coins which include 17 wheats and 4 silvers.

So my ratio of coins to silver is a whopping 5014/4 = 1253.5 to 1
So my ratio of coins to wheats are 5014/17 = 294.9 to 1

You're doing well!

Looks like my guess of 1200 is pretty close then.
