<p>[QUOTE="SensibleSal66, post: 5003435, member: 115232"]My story is a little funny . When I was very young , I use to help dig and plant my Uncle's garden . Every year from 1976-1989 ( when he died) , I would dig and turn over the dirt exposing a coin or two ( usually wheaties and Nickels ) . I thought it was strange so I asked him, why all the coins in the dirt ? He said that was where they dumped the spent coal . I never thought much about it until I started Metal Detecting in 2001 . </p><p> The coins were all pre-1964 (Mostly early 1900's - 1950's ) and some in nice condition . After Metal Detecting a few times I had a revelation ? Figure it out ? That's right . He was the one , planting all those coins my child hood. LOL. No other reason why they were in NON-DUG condition . LOL. He didn't have to do that, I would of done it for nothing because he was a War Hero who lost a leg and I looked up to him for that .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
