Finally found my first wheat penny!

I got a 1953 D wheatie today, it made my day, I only found 13 cents including that but it was cool to accomplish one of my metal detecting goals. Next up are silver coins, rings, and all the other good stuff! I'm over 8 bucks in clad so far since starting out. It's great when you find multiple coins in one spot, I was digging in one spot yesterday and the machine was going nuts, there were 3 quarters together and a few inches by that hole there was one more. I'm really enjoying this hobby.

Way to go! Now try a Boy Scout camp. Talk about some serious clad amounts.

Congratulations on finding your first wheatie. Hope you find some silver soon. WTG

Remember where you found the wheatie. Around here, where there are multiple wheats...there's often silver.

Great job on the Wheat. The rest will come with time. Just need to keep going out there and trying.

How do you find Boy Scout camps?

Congrats on your first wheat. The other goodies will come.

Congratulations on what I hope are many "firsts". Wherever the Wheat Pennies are there are silver coins. Good luck on your future hunts!!

Props! I've been detecting for a month now and haven't found a single one. It's not so easy - at least not around here!

[Florida Cracker]

Congrats, found my first wheat today as well. It really does pump you up when you find something old. Wonder how it will feel to find my first silver.

Congratulations on your first older type coin, snf101480. I knew I was on my way to bigger and better things when I found my first wheat!
I still consider it a good day out whenever I find one.

Congrats on your first wheat.

[DFX Bob]

With that kind of enthusiasm you are sure to find more old coins

Good job finding your first Wheatie, I remember my first last Apr 19th 08. You'll find many more, I'm over 125 of them.. Silver will be next!

Now that the ice jam has let loose, the old coins should start piling up for you....Gil

Whats so nice about finding the wheaties is there is some silver around there as well. Good luck to you on finding some great finds. Congrats on your first of many. Happy Hunting!!

Like everyone else stated Your "first" are so exciting!!!!Just wait till you get your first indian head or silver Good job

[Steve/WMASS]

Good job on the wheatie! Give that spot another pass cause where there's wheat, silver can't be too far away. Steve

You guys are great, I appreciate all the support and good wishes, it's an awesome feeling finding something older. I think the detector liked that wheatie too, because it had a different ring to it than what I'm used to hearing. Surprisingly enough, that was the last place I expected to find a wheatie. Today my girlfriend suggested we try another park and we got another $1.18 in change. I wish all of you the best, and hopefully you guys will find something soon that excites you the way the wheat penny did for me.
