Default One Old One But Nothing To Exciting

Well I finally got out today in the sun it was upper 70s & I hadn't been out in almost a week, I was going through detecting withdrawl. So packed a lunch & water & snacks & made a day of it. Bummer was I hunted 3 or 4 different spots that are old places but didn't find diddly. A few modern coins, lots of trash, a couple of mason jar lids, a little silver spoon. I was bummed as I hunted for a good 6 hours today & didn't find any old coins, so got home & was cleaning up & washing off the coins I did find & got the magnifing glass out to check the dates on the coins just to see what they were & low & behold one of the pennies was a wheatie 1910, which also happens to be the oldest coin I have found in my 5 times out this year, so I guess when you can find an almost 100 year old coin it's not a total bust. But no silver, maybe next time. Just felt good to get outside & hunt again!
