Research Pays Off

Discovered an old drive-in theater close to down town Cleveland by looking at some old aerial maps.
It was built in 1950 and went out of business in the 70's.
Basically an open field right now.
Went there last night for about an hour. Started off finding a bunch of junk.
After about 30 minutes I had an "ah-hah" moment after I dug a wheat penny.
After that I found a "pistol-shot" medal. I have no idea how old it is.
Shortly after that I got a signal that was a solid 12-47 on the e-Trac at about 7 inches. Took me a second to realize that I had just dug a silver quarter because it was so dark with tarnish. I think this is the oldest GW quarter I have ever found.
Wrapped it up shortly after because daylight was fading.
I'll be back. I suspect there will be more to find.

Pretty sure I was researching that same drive in lately 😂😂
 
Great job on both the research and the actual find! Keep hunting it, you're sure to find more.
