[QUOTE="Hilux, post: 678182, member: 23052"] I detect in suburban Perth. There's no pattern to what I'll find. I've gone months with no silver coins then I'll find a bunch, same for pre-decimal coppers. If I look in places where there's lots of human traffic I'll generally find some spending coins. Some old sites where you'd expect to find a heap of pre-decimals I'll find none! I find 10 threepence coins for every couple of shillings. Out of 100 odd coins only few six pence and two florins. Maybe threepence coins are plentiful as they were so small and light which made them easy to lose. Pre-decimal depths are all over the place sometimes just under the surface and sometimes down 10cm or so. Sometimes you can guess that the sand has slid down an incline and buried them - sometimes the sand has slid down an incline and exposed them! [/QUOTE]
