leave them...birds and other critters are a legitimate cause for coins "sinking"....although I still hold that the grass trapping blowing soil and then growing over it (or some similar means of soil build up) accounts for most of the apparent sinkage.

BA, I agree 100% with you.... I also think more on covering than sinking.... But it is strange that some pretty new coins are buried so deep :

Yeah, and you go to other locations and find 70 year old coins laying either on top of the ground or literally just beneath the surface (less than 2 inches). Just this past weekend, one of my partners dug up a late 1700's early 1800's Spanish silver coin (dating to shortly before the Mexican Revolution) buried about 3 inches below the surface in southern Arizona. It was extremely well worn, but still it had probably been buried for at least 150 to 200 years.

Any news on the beach coins etc? I am battling to place my coins as I have a garden service who would steal them if placed on the ground Angry

Hey Pgill
Isn't what you are doing basically reverse detecting? HEHEHE.
I don't really care how it got there as long as I find it Cheesy

Hey Pgill
How can you write such violent messages about birds....there could be children reading it.
Tut tut, and then to deny that you wrote...... it shame on you! Wink

I'm hoping that this weekend will deliver my first gold coin....back to the farm we go.
