When a suspect has been frisked, "searched" and they had that "unsearched" Wheat cent in their pocket, perhaps in a roll, and the suspect was released, returned their property, and went home opened the roll, and found that gem everyone else missed.

This could also work at an airport or any other security search.

No correct answer yet but keep trying! At least everyone is starting to think outside the box! If no one correctly answers the question by this evening, I may post some clues.

How about:
When you search for correct change at the store.

And then spend the change without checking it.

A searched Wheat cent is considered unsearched right before it is searched.



Rest in Peace

Wow that was quick! Congrats DL20K, that is pretty much the answer!Some folks might have seen it as I had it posted on one of the Want Ads last night and deleted it this morning to make a quiz out of it.

The full answer was to Metal Detect (Search) and find a Wheat cent that had been buried pretty much since it was produced and a high probability that it was unsearched for Errors and Varieties.

Thanks everyone for the participation! Maybe I can come up with another, much harder Trivia Quiz later and offer a nice Error or Variety coin as a prize to the person that gets the answer.

When it is lost and enters the world of wheat cents again. It has happened to me, I searched rolls of nickels, set one aside on a kitchen counter or dresser top and my wife sent it back into circulation.

Oh, I see it has to do with metal detecting. I posted this and it went to pg 2 and I was still on pg 1 when I read the last post.
