Dennis, You found some great coins and a very interesting token. I hope someone can identify it. The icing on the cake was at the end of the hunt when you surprised me with that 1900 Indian cent. Maybe if I slow down and I will get finds like you. BigJohn

Nice finds :) Can I ask a stupid question?? Why is a wheatie called a wheatie?? thanks :)

Our Lincoln one cent coins here in the USA had stalks of wheat on the reverse from 1909-1958.

As a general rule, most detectorists prefer to find wheaties over newer cents because they are a little older and are often a good indicator that silver coins may also be found in the same area.
