1st wheat cent out of new farm feild

[GunnarMN]

just started this field, getting lots of old farm parts tools lost wile fixing broken equipment and this 1st wheat cent to badd the farm soils are so corrosive i cant read the date but it is a wheat good soil as far as minerals and not to trashy most of the targets come out from the edge of the field to 40 ft in then it grows still, hoping for some silver I tell you it has been a penny spring for me on all my spots i have only found pennys even the token was a one center , I am the penny man. as long as its pennys lets hope for a 1914D or a 1909svdb

Wheat cents are a good indicator of what else may lie beneath the surface. I happened to roto-till a bit of my garden today and have been searching for anything which may have been brought up closer to the surface. No luck but it was fun using all programs on all three of my detectors. Great day to be out. Good luck and HH GunnarMN. Matt

Gunnar, the coins I find in fertalized parks look like that one. All my field coins have been pretty good except the LC's.
That stubble doesnt look like much till you try to detect through it. Good luck in your search for that key date!

Yeah, I'm finding "stubble" to be more like "stumble"... But it's a good cent Gunnar - and your doing the work; I won't be surprised if you come out with something like a 1700's pure silver something or other that's rare to the nth degree. It may take some time, but you are putting that in; Formidable in your approach comes to mind. And in doing that, you are teaching me, whether you know it or not.

I have been using hydrogen peroxide to clean the pennies - it does a good job. Some take longer than others, but it's not at all like scrubbing them or anything. When the peroxide stops bubbling, just dump it out and add more. Check it out on at least one of your more modern cents.

Dr. Penny Man,

Nice find in that massive farm field and I am sure there is more out there just waiting to be found. Remember it is a journey not a race.

There is more theere Gunnar. A wheatie is enough to make you search more.

I agree - this past year I dropped 23 lbs swinging the GT. I focused more on detecting then eating lol
