    Default Wheat Stalk Penney


    I was surprised to find it in the driveway while going to the Mailbox.. It had been ran over enough that it ws easy to see it was a Wheat. That Part of the Driveway was also around the House Grandpaw built... When I picked it up the Color was so dark I thought it was a War Steele coin but the Head side had caked with Oxidation so thick nothing could be made out ... I very Gently used my Knife to Remove enough to begain to find the Features of the Head side to gently uncover the Date without scratching the coin... The Date 1918 D ---- It had to be a Coin that Grandpaw Lost when he Was Building the House... This Coin now has a Special Place to be Passed on to Family... At 99 years old now -- it can only get more valuable to our Family for all the work and Sacrafices he made for our Family

    Great find Larry, I've searched my property high and low with my metal detector hoping to find something like that but all I find is newer clad coins.

    My older brother just got a detector ---- I know where three old house places are, that all that marks them are the old Water wells ----- all those places are so old I never remember a house there. That puts them older than 1950 when tore down --- Then three Places Black familys lived that died in the 60s but portions of those houses are there

    I know a fella at the University that digs down in old outhouses - nasty for sure I know. He finds amazing stuff such as old bottles, coins, etc.

    That was a pretty cool story Larry. Nothing like history, especially family history.
    The Lord is good. His mercy and love endures forever.
