Before the interstates, highways had rest areas for the travelers. These areas are often overlooked by the everyday person detecting. These rest parks can give up some real treasure if a person is willing to look.

I'd often thought about that Jim. Nice mercs btw. I know that before I-80 was constructed my parents took us via the old routes from Ohio all the way to NE PA to visit our grandparents. Along the way my mom would have a picnic basket full of sandwiches, chips, apples and RC Cola and we'd always stop at a different one of those areas to eat lunch and take a break from the ten hour drive. Geeze, now you can make it in five and a half. Good Vid!!! I'll keep my eyes open for them now.
Nice mercs! I got excited when I saw that 1916! I was hoping you were going to say it had a "D" mint mark!
Nice
Good tip on the rest areas
