Hi, all.
I’m on vacation in Ocean City, MD for the week. Today my 6-year-old daughter and I were digging a big hole in the sand and she found a 1919 wheat penny. She was super excited that she found “treasure”, and I thought it was really cool as well; I don’t think I’ve ever had a penny that old, and the fact that it was 100 years old was neat. I doubt it has major value but it was a special find.
At the end of our beach time we filled in our hole and grabbed our stuff. We realized that the penny was missing, presumably covered by the sand we just pushed into our hole. She was really upset. Now she seems to be over it, but I’m still thinking about it. I got a picture of the penny but it would be nice to have the thing to remember the day.
Since I don’t know anything about metal detecting could anyone give me some advice about whether finding it with the help of a metal detector would be a plausible idea? I know pretty well where it was, but I don’t know what detectors are capable of.
