Wow!!

Roll up some Lincoln cents and take them to your bank to swap them for other rolls. Search the rolls and repeat the process. Look at enough coins and you'll find plenty of wheats.

By the way, twinsrule, the Tigers rule!

There's wealth in numbers.The laws of averages do pay off.

I don't get any cents, or other denomination, these days, because I don't get around that much, and usually pay with check,or plastic. So the likelyhood of finding one in change is remote, however, my Daughter-in-law does get them frequently in the register, and she saves them fo me. But, yes, thety are still out there, even if someone does put them there for "effect". It is always nice to see an "old friend"! When I was a kid, my dad would take us to the store to but candy, and he always gave me a quarter. (He was working for the AT&SF RY, as a telegrapher, and made good wages, $5.00/day. I would get the change from my quarter, and very often would see IHC, and wheats, mixed together. No LMC's in those days! There were manty things seen then, that one does not see today. My daf, let me hold a $5.00 gold piece, he had gotten, and was going to put in the little encycolpaedia-bank he had. Things went from bad to worse, and it went. "gotta feed the kids". I still have that coin-bank,and some of the Barber coins that ere in it. Yes, there were wheats, and Indian Head cents. he alwayys said look for the "1913 liberty head nickel". I guess he has found it, if they are part of the 'coin of the Realm", where he is. He would be 110, this year. Looks like I have strayed, again, sorry. It comes with the territory....

I did roll hunting as a kid in the 80s. While wheats weren't exactly common, they were easier to find in rolls than today. But you can still find them if you put in the time and effort.

Nowdays I do metal detecting. I searched a friend's front yard and found 7 wheats and two silver Rosies.

There are plenty of wheats and other interesting coins out there to be found!

Been there, done that! I still have my old "bounty Hunter". I don't get out that much, since moving to CA. and living in a Senior Park, makes it nearr impossible to check the neighbors yards, because the park was built ion '84, and no one is allowed to mess with the neighbors space. While in AZ, I did a lot of detecting in the park where I lived there, and found a ot of interesting things, including an old six-shooter, that apparently had been used for something it shouldn't , and likely dropped into one of the holes that are found under the old one, or two-holers. It was so corrodes, and eaten up, that it wouldn't function at all. I tossed it into the trash. the park had been built on the same ground, where there was a hotel. (It burned down prior to the 1900's). The two spaces I rented, also had the remains of an old black-smith shop, and Wagon repair shop. There are all kinds of wheel bearings, old cast faucets, you name it, if it was in an old general repair shop, then it would be somewhere in the area. I didn't find many coins, and those that were found, went for candy, or chewing tobacco. I was too young to buy cigarettes, and didn't smoke anyway, but most of kids that went to Jr, or Sr, high school chewed tobacco. (I had to quit "chewing", and took up smoking ), because there was no place to "spit" on the 'grinder", where we marched, in Boot camp, after I joined the Navy, in '43.
Now as far as detecting, up in Copper Basin area, there are a lot of small nuggerts to be found.It doesn't make any difference, knowing the area, and where the best places to search, are, because not being able to drive, and not living in the area, the idea of going after some gols, (and at the price it is today, is moot. Gold then, was $35.00 an oz troy, then Now look at it!$1200..plus!

My wife brought me back a 1944 LWC from her change this weekend.
