Default LMAO really gotta check that change

I was picking up some change from my car. It was some change that I had detected and when I picked one of the pennies up it was a 1941 wheat. I have no idea where I picked it up. I think this is a first for me. I must have really been concentrating in the detecting that I just got the penny and just tucked it away. WOW! cannot believe that happened. I almost put that wheat with the regular change. I am glad I saw it. Has that happened with anyone and with what? I do not mean an unreadable I mean one that is very readable and in pretty good condition? I will post the wheat and earring that I found this weekend.

Default Found a 1902 Edward V Jamaican Penny in my jacket pocket

last night on my way to the Robbie Burns Dinner. I was wondering where I had put that? You just never know what you're going to find kicking around when you treasure hunt.

I normally check mine when I get home. If not, I put them in baggies with a date on them for later. Guess I should mark the place I hunted as well.
