As she and her mom were walking near the old arena site on Queen St. she .ooked at the ground and spotted something metal. She picked it up and found a 1901 penny with a picture of Queen Victoria on the back. Skyla's mom thought the 90-year-old penny could have fallen through the seats in the arena and become buried when the arena was torn down. Rain in the area a couple weeks ago may have caused the penny to surface. Skyla is pictured here, displaying her discovery.
