Nice score. Don't forget to check for the 44 steel penny as well. Wouldn't mind hearing a little more about your find. Good luck. Mark

Nice score. There should be a couple of more valuable ones in the mix. Last winter I was cleaning out the storage cabinets out in my garage and found a quart Ragu Sauce jar crammed full of wheats. I have yet to go through them. I wish it had been a jar of silver, but no such luck.

Arkansas, I know how you feel about your dad. I lost mine when he was 54 yrs. old. Industrial accident in Brunswick, Ga. and I was 30. It's been 56 years years now. I still miss him so much. He was one of "The Greatest Generation". WW2 veteran.

I'm sorry to hear that, Its hard,my pap is on the decline mentally and triple bypass , but that's why I still take him detecting and carry his chair and dig his holes, secretly I mess up on purpose so he can tell me what I'm doing wrong, that's the real treasure
