Thanks christ-first. The place I am going tomorrow is where me and my buddy dug over 20 silver and 17 coppers last Sunday. 3 of them large silvers. I have been told that they are tearing out the sidewalk soon. Coins are down about 10 - 12 inches

Thanks toolman61. The college buildings in this area are quite old. One was a elementary school, theater and a church. What is now a sidewalk, was once the main street. If you drive the new street, you will notice all buildings face inward. They also face each other where the street used to be located.
