<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 526957, member: 4552"]Not long ago I was involved in the reconstruction of a large city multi level road. As the present one was demolished, construction workers were coming up with just about every thing you could imagine being there. Very old bottles, Old wood, old cans and yes many old coins. No one used a metal detector due to all the metal in the ground so those would be just making all sorts of noises. One electrician showed me a bag, yes a bag, of coins he has been accumulating from under the debris. Even a mystery wooden room was found about 10 feet below the lowest road. Almost all the coins he found were excessively dirty. I asked if he wanted to sell them but he said he just wanted them to remind him of this project. I sure wonder what all those were. Knowing that area had not been redone since the Early 20's, They sure must have been old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
