Just up the street and across from the Dairy Queen is a factory that is currently vacant. Between the factory and the main road (Rt 6) you can see an indentation where there use to be a house and a barn. This area is maintained and mowed by the who ever owns the factory. I've wanted to go there to hunt for quite a while but was hesitant due to the large amount of traffic going by. I recently heard that another company had bought the factory and was going to move in and build on. I decided that if there was ever a time to go it was now. On the first trip this week I pulled up the 1897 dime, unfortunately, I gave it some minor scratches. The next day I pulled up the 1816 Ein Kreuzer. At first I thought it might be a large cent but when I got home and cleaned it up I was surprised to see it was an old Austrian coin. I'm not sure about the medallion I'm going to have to soak it. I think there might be a date on it.

Well, my Super 12 was delivered today so after work I ran back out to this location to try it out. I found a 1948 wheaty, a badly corroded Indian Head, and a 1870 Canadian 5 cent peice. All the coins pictured in this post were found within a 15 foot circle. Nothing of interest on the rest of the entire lot. What a hodge podge of finds???? They were all in the 6 to 6 1/2 inch depth range.

Wow, Schrecky, great job! :o

Let us know if you can see any lettering on the medal after you clean it. It looks interesting. :)

Awesome German finds for your area! That copper coin is in nice condition and the Iron Cross looks like it will clean up well and reveal a lot of information. What is on the reverse of the coin? An eagle or a coat of arms? Too bad about the signature on the Barber, I signed two targets today, it happens. HH, Mike
