I did go metal detecting this morning you might call this trip a trash pickup 99% of everything I found was nothing but junk bottle caps aluminum can junk and other miscellaneous unknown metal but I did have one excellent find I found a 1930 wheat cent no mint mark I got home and looked it up and that particular year they say they did not make a full run of 1930s they only did a few as a test and then somehow those few however many there were possibly got out with the 1931 pennies and I have one of them! If it had been in near mint condition it could have been upwards of over $300 value or more but mine, if I'm lucky, might be worth a dollar or two just because it's damaged by being in the ground for many years!
 
Here is a picture of the front of it!

Very cool indeed. Congrats.
Thanks. This was a new site that I went to today. It is right next door to the church I attend. I had my Garrett AT Pro with me today and it was giving me some trouble with the power lines constant chatter even after a ground balanced it so I may try the Tesoro Compadre next time.
