awesome! :icon_thumleft: wonder how it got in the woods though? :dontknow:

Good question. This is a section of the woods that was a huge picnic grove in the 40s till early 50s. I also think a train passed through it in the past as well. The road is still there, but no tracks can be seen anymore. My wife and I found a number of smashed coins and we wonder if those coins were placed on the tracks for the train to smash them. They are not old coins though. I'll post them shortly for I'm puzzled by all of those things.
