[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 352686, member: 1695"] You have to put yourself in the shoes of the people from the early 1900's and 1800's, and think of what activites would have been a part of normal everyday life, where they might likely have taken place, and whay might possibly have been dropped there. Life was so much more simpler back then, a social outing might have meant a visit to a local lake, river's edge, or a location with a view etc. Where were things like waterholes for those travelling on horseback, or on stockroutes - there were many shops, hotels, inns and cottages that now have no surface evidence of them ever existing. Roads back then may have taken a completely different route than what we currently have with our moden highway system, where were the postal routes, telegraph stations and stage coach stops. There are so many possibilities and reasons why coins are where they are, sometimes it's just blind luck that you come across ideal areas, other times it is down to a good session of research to locate a paying site so to speak.
