<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 1542565, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I remember the uproar with metal detectorists people coming in with small bulldozer type things and many shovels. The ground was restricted to road builders during the work week. The evenings and week ends were fair game for several weeks. It was so exciting. I ended up with at least 15 "onion bottles" and several entire clay pipes. Along with my 40 to 50 coins of all sizes and national origins. I ended up selling just about all of it within two years. My Queen Elize coin I kept as well as one onion bottle. I knew some people that just made out so well. I know three cannons that "disappeared" into private hands. Most of the really valuable pieces were given to the city historical societies and the Franklin Institute. All I know for sure was an exciting time. Everytime I drove up I 95 i kept thing of all the stuff that was left. I believe it was 35 ships that were sunk on the water line to fill in the shore to make roads over 150 years ago before the highway project was even thought of.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
