... at an antique shop. :grin:
However, there was a specific reason I was interested in them. They were all together in 2x2s in a Ziplock baggie. I could tell right away that they are all metal detecting finds, then I noticed that someone had written the date they were found and the location!
So I bought them all. With tax I paid less than $8 for the lot. Apparently, all of them were found in the early 1970s, all from 3 different small towns in the same Illinois county. I have craftily obscured the names of the towns where the coins were found in the photo.
I thought this was an interesting glimpse into what was being found in the early 1970s, as well as some great clues for some possible sites to metal detect. It appears that they came from 4 different sites, 2 parks and 2 fairgrounds. I will definitely have to check these sites out.
I just thought it was interesting!

Now that's an interesting way to research sites, hope it gets you some great leads, now that's thinking out of the box :thumbsup02::wow:
