Well it finally happened. Went back to the golf course today and the 1st dig was a wheat. There are construction trucks all over and the foreman asked that I not be there when his guys are working. Not a problem....can I detect back to my car? Sure....

By the time I got back to my car I had my 1000th wheat. I'm sure everybody is dying to know what it was.

1956D

I did get a 1916S today which in my opinion would have made a better 1000th wheat.....:lol:.

Thanks for reading and HH everyone.

'bout damn time Al! LOL. Congrats on your wheatie milestone. Not many guys get a 1,000 of anything (except maybe pulltabs), Best wishes and HH, Dave.
 
Congrats on your 1,000th wheat cent, Al! That's quite a milestone! Don't get run over by heavy equipment trying to get number 1,001! :thumbsup01:

:congrats:

Due to the type of hunting I do, mostly fields, it only took me 11 years to do this. Quite a number of trucks. Looks like it will be after they quit work for the day.

That's pretty awesome Al!! I'm getting my new hip Oct 2 so let me know when they scrape exactly 4 inches of dirt off those road holes. I need some Southwick silver lol.
 
Congrats on the milestone. Wheats always play an important role in my scouting. Just like fishing "one's a fluke two's a pattern" If I find at least 2 wheats the place has potential. Congrats WD
 
Way to go Al! With 1000 wheats, how many do you need to fill out a coin book? I'd imagine you're still looking for the elusive '31S and '09S VDB, but is that all?

WD, thanks. Most of us also think where there are wheat's, silver is lurking also.

Thanks Tim. My eyes ain't that good so the first 3 wheat's went into the keeper pouch and the 4th into my pants pocket. It's just the way things worked out.
