[QUOTE="Guest, post: 85999"] Dropped coins and tokens from clothes being washed. Pants get hung to dry with some wind as pants dry they get lighter Start to flap in the wind and then as soon as the water dries Between coin and pants pocket Cloth the coin or token drops to the ground. This depends as well how pants were hung but as they Get taken off the coins or tokens still drop. It depends on the area and the year. You may find coins Only. If the homestead has been around since 1860 expect To find some cool tokens. The other thing which i forgot to mention is imagine where The horse and cart would stop for passengers to hop off. This area yields same results including brooches but you need to look at the ground closely and you may see tracks where its been compacted with horse cart weight nothing grows there. Will post some of my finds soon. So instead of attacking an area with a detector you need To investigate by asking locals questions or by trying to Find archived photos or going to the site and tackling it From a csi perspective. Stand back and analyse how the House was approached by horse and cart where the drive Way could be and where the clothes line was and so on. [/QUOTE]
