This past weekend I did a fairground in Maine. Not a major fair by any means. I was worried that it has been hit hard considering the fact that permission was quite easy to come by. This fair has been held for approx. the last 135 years. In the six hours I was there I found 79 coins, 59 pennies, 11 dimes and 9 quarters. Only one silver, a 47 dime and 6 wheaties the oldest being 1910 after that a 44.' Most of the other coins were in the 60s and 70s.
Don't you think a site being that old would have given up some older coins? Or more of them. Then I thought maybe the fair wasn't always held at this spot. But I have had two lengthy conversations with two old timers that work there and nothing about an earlier location ever came up.
I'll probably go back in a week or so. I also recently received permission at a county fair ground.......... any fair ground tips would be appreciated.
