IH, Mercs and a Wheat Cent Surprise

[jkress]

Boy it felt great to finally dig some holes and pocket some keepers today. :smitten:

Ron and I got out before the rains set in here today for some much needed treasure hunting.
Silver blessed both of us with her presence. :happydance01:

I ended up with a pair of Mercs, a toasty IH and small pile of Wheat cents.

Plus one more Wheat cent... 1909S.

When I pulled this from the ground in the park and noticed the '09 and the S, I was a bit hesitant
to flip it over. :rolleyes: Sure enough... the VDB must have worn clean off. lol
But Red Book says this is still a very nice one to find. :smitten:

WTG Joe ...a 1909 S is a great find. Pocketing some silvers, IH and some wheats is just icing in the cake. That 1909 looks pretty good

[POKIE73]

Great lookin' hunt! The 1909S is a beauty!

[angellionel]

I haven't seen one of those in some time, Joe. That is a great and valuable find, particularly since it held up so well too. Congrats!

[Tony Two-Cent]

Great bunch of finds, Joe, and that 1909-S is especially nice! :loveit:

It cleaned up really well and looks great! That is a super find! I've never found one, as I'm sure most people haven't.

Congrats on the terrific hunt! :clapping:

Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.

My pleasure :) ... but you better return the favor when you aren't so overwhelmed with work. thumbsup01



I know the feeling about needing to get out and pocket a few keepers :rolleyes: It's been way to long! crying01

:yes: You definitely need to get out there and swing your coil. Otherwise I have heard Minelabs get a little fussy if ignored for too long. lol



WTG Joe ...a 1909 S is a great find.

Thanks Al. I guess it finally paid off checking the date of lots and lots of dug Wheat cents. :rolleyes:



bet your heart skipped a beat or two on the 1909s

lol Yes it did. Sooner or later the VDB or D might show up on the back of a 1909 Wheat or 1916 Merc. :daydream:



Great lookin' hunt! The 1909S is a beauty!

Thank you D... finally a Wheat Cent I can put in a 2x2. lol



I haven't seen one of those in some time, Joe.

Thanks Angel. It is an exciting first for me. :yes:



It cleaned up really well and looks great!

:smitten: It did clean up nicely. A little bit of uneven toning... but nice nonetheless. thumbsup01



Nice hunt Joe and congrats on the 09-S that is Avery nice find, WTG |:cheering:

My best Wheat cent so far. :happydance01: Thanks Jeff.

[DennisH]

A vdb would have been nice but the S made it a super winner. And it great condition too. :perfect10:
