A find is a find, WTG!!!
I went for years not picking up pennies because they were laying face down. These days it don't matter, I'll pick them up no matter what. It all adds up. Good luck & Happy hunting~

the oldest penny i have ever found was in a cup holder @ work 1969 - i find clad all the time now because i always look for it - i now know why theres so much of it in the ground - people (except us) couldnt care less about small change - i always keep the 60s and put them away - its pretty sick when you start wanting to go through other peoples change and say if i find something good i'll exchange you one of my pennies - INSANE ~ !!!

Cool find, Is the area all paved or any grassy spots?

Keep @ it and HH!!

 

[YankeeDownSouthAdv.]

mud,

well the whole receiving area is paved, but there are grassy areas behind the building, and some woods we shot the woods with a detector a friend picked up DIRT cheap, and he only found a clad penny, the area is strewn with trash!!, homeless people live back there and other walk through there from theirhomes, to get to the store,etc....gregg..HH
