<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 587379, member: 18614&quot;]I was on my way to our little &quot;mom and pop&quot; store last night and had obtained permission to hunt the &quot;common&quot; area of the old cemetery, which now belongs to the borough...so I stopped and hunted for about 10 minutes....until I found this, then I was done.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I found out this morning that it had been completely wooded until right before I moved here back in 1991. That explains why it escaped the first metal detecting craze. It was &quot;in the woods&quot;....and woods hunting is difficult at best. They ripped the trees up by the roots, which may well explain why it wasn&#039;t even 2 inches deep. </p><p><br /></p><p>The last interment that took place on this little plot of land was before the civil war.</p><p><br /></p><p>This town was founded just 13 years prior to the minting of this coin. Heck, the US mint was founded just 2 years prior to the minting of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
