I came across this sidewalk tearout today in a park where many old coins have been found in the past. As soon as I saw it I figured it would be good because the original sidewalk was very old and not likely to have a lot of gravel under the cement. There was about 2 to 3 inches of sand and then black dirt. The coins were in the black dirt about 1 to 2 inches deep.

Very nice, bk. Old sidewalks seem to pay off. Even though my little town was founded in 1758, we don't have any old sidewalks. We are just getting our first ones.
