Default A few finds

Went to an old town site that was moved back in the 1930's due to a dam and flooding. Found alot of trash. After that when to a lake for some campground and beach hunting. Picked up 4 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickles, 14 pennies. Oldest coin was a 1965 quarter. Almost but no cigar.

These old sites I have are turning up alot of trash, nothing of worth yet. Going to keep hitting it hard though.
