Default 2 Wheaties in a week and never got my hands dirty!

Last week while out running errands, I stopped at a gas station, a convenience and a restaurant. When I get home I always look over the coins I get in change, and there was a 1920 wheatie!

And then, this past Sunday, it was our turn to count the offering. There's usually very little or no change, and this week was no different, except in the 37 cents that was there, there was also a 1944 wheatie!

2 in a week and never got dirt under my fingernails .

Smile Nice finds

In all of last year I only got one wheatie in change - a 1955-D from Ralph's grocery (Kroger's back east). You have found twice what I did, 1 year for me and 1 week for you. You are blessed.
Happy hunting (with and without a MD)

That's still a good way to find coins. I look at everything I get in change that comes my way. That's what I picked up here for sure....Buster....

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

I seem to get cool change from the Turnpike for some reason. I never spend change. I always break a bill and throw the non-keeper change in a jug. I work from home and don't get out much but we still deposit $100 in rolled change a month into savings with our other monthly deposits. I just got my detector in October so I was hoping to increase that with this year's finds.
