Some of the city workers in the town I live in have told me they are always finding gold and silver in the sewers when they clear the lines.Chains and rings.

I know of a sewer worker here in town. He used to work on a vacuum truck to clean the sewers. The best job was in the back of the truck as the suction emptied the junk in the truck. Rings, coins, and other valuables were constantly found. I would like to know where the city dumped all this stuff, and use a MD on the refuse. Would also like to know all the places where the sewers emptied into the large rivers locally.

Someone Who worked For Lebanon, PA Brought a Shoe box full of Colonials & Large Cents to show Me
When I Was Detecting the Drained Sweet Arrow Lake.
He said they all came from The Sewers when they Cleaned them Out.

He still Paid me $45.00 To have one From The Lake :laughing7:

& He bought over a hundred Religious Charms from me Too that day.

But yes I can imagine heavy Rains Washed all kinds of goodies into Culverts over the years
