<center>Here's a couple of rather odd finds, at least the places they were found were odd.</center><center><img src="http://www.jb-ms.com/images/Finds/printingplate.jpg" border=1></center>This is a negative image copper printing plate, shown actual size along with how it looks converted to a positive image, that was used by newspapers. The local paper folks said it probably dates from the 1930's. How it got buried in an old football field that was last used in the early 1960's will always be a mystery. It's the second printing plate from there, the other was from the 1890's and was an ad for a horse or mule drawn cultivator.<center><img src="http://www.jb-ms.com/images/Finds/1922d.jpg" border=1></center>1922 d wheatie was lying on top of the ground in a playground, saw it before I got to it with the detector.
