I guess THAT WOULD test peoples honesty ! a 50 or more back in 1951 would be a test for sure If tose that did find a coin wouldn't know about the test or they just got lucky ! I wonder if any of those were never found and some MDer guy came along with his detecter and found one of them today ! I'm sure they would be happy with that and NOT knowing about the test !!!
