Default All of the above !

I guess it would be Vacant city lot where 1700's Inn once stood as the drunks would have most likely have lost more than Quakers ! Or if it was a Small Civil War encampment were Marcinva found the 1/2 disme i would go with that one !

I just went to the beach today Rip...no snow, even though it snowed a bit last night...not a soul on the beach as far as the eye could see in either direction...I was the ONLY NUT out there and lasted a good 5 minutes, but it was ONLY to check out a new beach to do some MD'ing on, and it looked GOOOOOOOD too...
And that ole hawk was a blowin too!!!

I'd take the quantity finds location as my first choice....the park...because I love to dig coins. After that....it's a toss up. Those would all be great sites to hunt.
