I went back to a spot I found a 42in Texaco sign last week. I was using my shovel as a probe just planting it in the ground. Dug up a couple rocks then about a foot to left maybe five inches down I hit a sign. I thought cool a nice little texaco sign...Awesome! Then I found the rest. 15 signs total. Their 15in x 13 1/2in.
