I found this rosie in a chunk of asphalt while I was working a demo lot yesterday.

A rosie in a chunk of asphalt? I'd leave it in there. Nice conversation piece.

Cool find. 8)

Nice, I have a 1946 wheatie half in a chunk of cement. I brought the chunk home. I *knew* there was a coin in it.

 

[Digginnit]

Aw, go ahead and leave it there. Of course, it COULD be a 1916 D.

Very cool find......I would probably eventually take it out.....who knows.....maybe shadowbox it for awhile! WTG...

Pretty neat find. Makes you wonder, huh? I would think a road/parking lot paving crew dropped in the hot mixture as they were pouring/spreading out the asphalt. Just lil ole me thinking.

It's clearly a rosie and not a mercury dime. Nice find!

Check out this month's W&E, they have a great article with excellent photos of nodule-like sea formed encrustations. Or something to that effect. Cool find.

Is that something that only the company that you worked for did or did other paving companys
do that also?

I'm not sure if others did it but we learned it from an inspecter who did it on his jobs when he first started. We did it on all ours after and we never had to go back and fix any
