I found this info on google about the cannery:

For 62 years, the Canning Factory at Celina provided employment to area citizens, from 1900-1962.
Ira Crampton grew up in Muncie, Indiana. He married Lacie Beuoy in 1876 and they had four children, Lola,(wife of Lloyd Sharp), Ruth, Ethel, and Carl who was killed in an accident in 1905. Ira Crampton built a canning factory in Muncie, manufacturing also his own cans. Crampton sold this plant in 1898. The family moved to Celina and erected “an immense canning factory.” In the 1906 canning season, the Crampton Cannery put up 25,000 cases of peas, 40,000 cases of tomatoes, with nearly 2,000,000 cans going out from the factory. Crampton also operated a plant at Gaston, Indiana.
About 1920, the Crampton and Son Canning Factory passed into the hands of A.L. Sharp, Herbert Kriemendahl and H.C. Bowman.
In the early 1940s, during World War II, this Factory employed Germans from the U.S. Prisoner of War Camp at Harbor Point on the Lake, east of Celina, for picking tomatoes. During World War II, two other Canning Factories also employed the German Prisoners for picking tomatoes, and other help at the plants: Beckman & Gast Co. (St. Henry, Minster and Osgood); and Sharp Canning (Rockford and Ohio City).
By the 1950s, the plant was under the ownership and name of Stokely-Van Camp, Inc., which specialized in canning tomatoes, corn, peas, pork and beans, sauerkraut, mushrooms, beets, and asparagus. Stokely Van Camp closed its Celina tomato plant in 1962.
 

Nice finds! I've been dying to get back out with the MD :/
 

look out for a 1936 Canadian cent like the one you found with a little raised dot under the date because it is worth in the range of $50 000 or more
