Well, maybe not so spooky, but definately old for this area! Three stories, built in 1936, very deco-looking. It's been closed since 1980, no use till about three months ago, when a church leased it. In fact, my 25-year-old fiancee was the last baby born in that hospital. Anyway, I finally managed to get permission to hunt the grounds on Sunday, and jumped right on it. My first two coins were silver Rosies, a '47 and a '56. Then I promptly hit 6 wheaties in a row, a 1909, (no 'S' or 'VDB') 1927, 1939-S, 1952, 1953 and a 1958-D. It did strike me interesting that I found the first and last wheats made. All this was followed by a bunch of clad from the 60's, then it got too cold and dark to hunt. But I shall return! Another interesting point, a co-worker of mine was listening to me tell another co-worker about my finds and she said that she had a boyfriend back in the early 80's that she went with to hunt that same spot, but she said he really didn't find anything of significance.

Wow, two Rosies and a handful of Wheaties. Sounds like you have quite a location to hunt. Stay after it and I am sure you will find more. Interesting those dates on the pennies. Start and finish. Maybe the rest in between are in the ground there waiting on you. Good luck.

You may want to take a close look at that 1909 wheat.
that vdb can hold a real nice price tag.
