Old drive-in

[pinebarren]

Got out to the drive-in today. within 3-4 minuets I found my first ever 1941 Mercury dime!!
Twenty minuets later, a 1954 half dollar!!!! I found several dimes and pennys, oh and a "D" from a FORD.

The drive-in was opened in 1949 and is the oldest of the seven operating drive-in theatres in North Carolina.
I know others have hunted here, so I tried to think where they may have overlooked.


Good day for me!!!

Those drive-ins are hard to dig in. Ground is packed down pretty tight. You did well.

Out-thinking the old-timers! Good stuff. I try to do that myself, and it does pay off sometimes. Too bad I wasn't in this hobby 30 years ago, when I wouldn't have had to do that so much...

Those are some great finds from a high trash area, tough going at a drive in with so much history, must be a lot of trash or how was it? Those Ben Franklin halves are worth a few $$$. Welcome to the forum and HH, Mike

The lot area is trashy, but other areas are not too bad. I know a guy that works there. He told me a little background info. I plan on going back and checking on this.

Believe it or not they did not always have a playground. I thought they were standard for drive-ins!!
