'Nuther $1.75 plus a 1929 Wheat

Well, if I just used the money I found to pay for the next detector..it's gonna be awhile! LOL! However, I had a good 2 hour hunt! I got up early this morning to return some equipment by 7:30. Had I know the hours had changed to being closed on Sundays I'd have been out at the new honey-hole by sunup! Dang. Oh well, I got the usual clad plus a 1929 Wheat that is in good shape. I can't tell exactly but it looks like the mint might be B. I still don't know anything about coin values, but if I keep digging up old stuff in these tot lots I guess I better study! It started getting crowded and I was getting an audience every time I bent down to dig.. Most of the time the coins are pretty shallow and I can move the mulch with my foot. But when I looked up from digging several excavations in one area there were three people watching me! Guess they thought I was hard up for money...

Looks like my hunts will be limited to tot lots for awhile. My mom just found out she has cancer and we don't know how bad it is yet. I'm the only family member that can take her to appointments, etc., as well as go to the store when she feels too bad to get out. But there are tot lots and old houses near her! So much ground, such a small coil..
 
Sorry to hear about your mother. I had kidney cancer 10 years ago when I was in my early 30s and relied on my mother a lot. I have outlasted the doctors initial predictions and don't plan on going anytime soon. Too much stuff to find. I'll say a prayer for your Mom.

Buy yourself a 2010 Red Book (they just came out) and learn a little about coins. It is a necessity for any serious treasure hunter. Mint marks on wheat cents can only be none, Philadelphia, D, Denver, S, San Francisco.

If kids are polite and well behaved I don't mind them helping. Some are bratty and I ask them to leave me alone. I've been offered handouts more than once. Never taken any..............yet.
 
Not a bad day pyledriver. I hunt playgrounds only in early morn hours during the weekdays. Sorry to hear about your mom. Will have a good thought for her. :angel:
 
Good luck with your hunts.
Sorry to hear about your mother. Hope everthing turns out for the better for her !
 
Thanks guys! Looks like bladder cancer but not sure how bad yet. She lives alone and about 30 mins away from me if traffic isn't bad. That means some of the little stuff like doing yardwork or household chores have to be done in batches when I'm there. Hopefully this will turn out to be something minor!!

My hunts..yes..they are getting MUCH better! I'm not sure I can totally say it's the detector. I have learned a LOT in the last few weeks, not the least of which is be patient, dig everything so I know what various objects sound like, and keep digging everything because some trash can be kinda cool at times. Kinda like the Sesame Street cell phone I found, or teeny little charm bracelet charm I found today!
 
Congrats on the wheat penny!:thumbup:Sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she gets well soon.
 
Hope your Ma comes out okay. I had a bout with bladder cancer but it was benign and they just whacked it out.
