OLD FAIRGROUND FINDS

[Swanie1]

I am posting a few pictures of my finds in a plowed field, about 25 miles from my home, that was a county fairgrounds until 1957 but is, now, a farm field. Obviously, any coin over one cent denomination is SILVER and the newest cents are in the 50's. I have hunted this field for years and, always, find silver, there. Each time it is plowed or worked up it churns up more coins. I'm anxious for the spring thaw so I can get back there. Fortunately, I'm the only person the owner will let hunt it.

Lucky lucky you! I can't even get the county to acknowledge my request to hunt the local fairgrounds. It's been there since 1917. I can only imagine what I could find!
Have fun!
