Sorry the scrap yard I was talking about is part of the old farm that I live at. I would never hunt an actual junk yard. I keep thinking that if they stored old cars and farm machinery back there their is also the possibility that some of these machines had coins that had fallen between the seats and who knows what else. I have found two silver quarters that look like they were through the wringer. Both are 1950's. So far nothing earlier. I will keep you posted on the rest of the junk pile finds.
