Hello All - This is more of a "want to find" post rather than a found post.
I am working on Saipan and have access to the old Japanese airport that was taken by the USA during WW2.
I've found some old maps that show the locations of the Japanese buildings that are no longer standing, but can be identified by their foundations. I'm thinking there should be some interesting coins lost over the years around the old living areas. I have a Minelabs Etrac on the way from Kellyco that I plan to use for the hunt. This MD is new to me. Does anyone have any words of wisdom on either the detector or WW2 coins?
It seems that most of the area where the buildings were located was paved with concrete before they were built. The concrete is now covered with a few inches of dirt. It looks like the regular ground until one tries to dig, finding concrete down only a few inches. I'm sure iron trash will be the most popular find during the search for other goodies!
I've used Google, but found little to no useful info about WW2 Japanese coins.
Thanks for any suggestions - Dave
