beginners luck

[ShadyMechanic]

Took my dad out on his first hunt today around my grandparents house. He was using my Fisher F2 with the sniper coil and his first find was this 1947 Wheat penny that somebody put inside of a piece of copper tube. The interesting thing about his first find is that his birth year is also 1947. Looks like he now has himself a unique lucky penny and we have ourselves a new fellow enthusiast, he's hooked. The F2 has been on a lucky streak lately, on the last hunt it found 2 silvers and a wheatie.

Little update here. I believe my dad actually found an old wheat penny key chain similar to this.

That's cool about the date and your father. I wish my father was still here. He would have a good time... KEN
