[QUOTE="Blueboy, post: 202155, member: 1350"] The first obvious point to make is that people don't carry coins the way they used to, for me unless I need some cash for something to do with the kids then it's all plastic these days and I guess most are in the same boat. Detectors are getting funkier and more efficient and going the way of the Gold machines... slowly eating up what's available. Most of the spendables I'm finding look like they've been in the ground a while, tarnished and dirty. I went to a new spot today which is quite busy at times and certainly somewhere you'd expect to find some coins, but zilch, not a single cent. Then I thought about it.. it only needs one detectorist with a decent machine in the past 5 years to have started off keen, emptied the place of lost coins and then got bored and went somewhere else or gave up. Lack of coin carrying these days keeps the place clean :( I think there is still fun ahead for us reading this, but the hobbies days are numbered, will be interesting to see what pans out in the future.
