Well the woman who found it on her land (old oil lease property in NY) hit it with a post hole digger (hence the one bigger ding), so I am thinking within a few feet of the surface. She has found 3 so far by chance, but she isn't really interested in going hunting like we would be.
They clearly have been buried for decades, with how the dirt is packed on the top edge, if you try to remove it the porcelain and underlying steel may come right off with it
Anyways, do you guys have any idea of the year on this sign? I know Beacon merged with Colonial in like 1928, but would they have produced Beacon signs after that date as well?
And one last question, any idea why it only has the 2 mounting holes on the bottom edge? I'm assuming it would have to go in some type of frame or stand?
