Old coins on the beach. Always been there or washed up?

[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 8807, member: 487"] I've been out on the Northern Beaches of Sydney (Clontarf, Balgowlah, North and South Curl Curl, Narrabeen inside lagoon beach area) a bit over the last few days and have come to the conclusion that a lot of pre decimals have just totally eroded/corroded or have been found already. A lot of the the stuff I found was very old junk (nails, ringpulls, exploded cans) barely recognisable. Mostly things were quite deep, so seems other detectorists have been through, though with the GPX I was constantly digging deep on some very small targets using 11 inch DD standard coil, interference is bad around here. One very small sinker recovered was at least 500 mm down. Some signals were quite subliminal almost, though kicking an inch of sand off always lets you know. I love this machine and am extremely confident in it now for finding small gold out in the goldfields. Anyway found about $10 in goldies, a bunch of 2, 5, 10, 20c coins, a piece of very corroded silver which is black. a few bits of totally corroded I think old pre dec coin remnants, cheap silver plated copper jewelly. I just don't think most metals last too long around here, underground or above. [/QUOTE]
