Harvesting the wheat(s) :garrett:

26 this morning when the A T Pro, my hunting buddy and I started hunting. And immediately I started harvesting wheat cents. All in all, I recovered 18 of them this morning, which, excluding the 2 Mercury dimes I also dug, exactly equaled all the other cents and clad I recovered. Among the wheats, I dug a 1920s Merc and a clipped 41. I can't recall ever recovering 18 wheat cents in one outing.

The first picture, excluding 7 wheats, is the best of my hunt yesterday. It was nice to see the 09 Barber partially sticking out of the clod.

5 of the wheat cents are toast and no available dates. The 6 oldest were 10, 18, 22, 2x27 and a 30. The rest were 40's and 50's.

When I spotted the 1922 I thought, "no way." And I was right. With a little more soap and water q tip rubbing, I found the D. Even in tough condition, it would have been a neat find. I believe it is a weak D, but being dug, it doesn't make a great deal of difference.

Stay warm if you are able to get out. HH jim tn
 
Nice, nice, nice! I am envious, but that's a negative being a Yankee andliving here in the northeast. Keep it up!

That's a bunch of wheat pennies and some super nice silver. It was a glorious beautiful day for detecting. I wasted the day messing with my wife's car at the repair shop.

I never turn my nose up at a wheat, sometimes the dates give me an enjoyable surprise. Sweet silver there. :thumbup:
 
Wow, that's a field O' wheaties! Some nice old ones, too. Great Barber, too and you sure find a lot of those cut silvers! You aren't using some kind of laser digger, are 'ya? :rofl:
