Oil Field Grove yields 16...1962 pennies, Chinese coin & wheaties
Close to home, (Southern California) is a 9 acre Eucalyptus Grove that I frequently hunt. The grove was once a camp site for the workers of the neighboring oil fields. Saturday, I found a Chinese coin (the type with the square in the middle) which I inadvertantly broke while rubbing olive oil on it. These coins are paper-thin and the square in the middle obviously weakens the overall integrity of the disc. I took the coin to a chinese restaurant and I was told it was 300 yrs. old. Hopefully, I'll uncover a few more. Today I found 16 1962 Pennies scattered in a 5-foot radius before it became dark. I will go back and see if they're are anymore. This grove has also yielded many wheaties, keys, dog licenses, parking tokens, ax heads and a 1861 seated dime. Last weak, after a good signal, I turned over a shovel full of dirt and saw a glint of the yellow.....turned out to be a french 20 cent coin from 1975.
