<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 299314, member: 9167&quot;]There&#039;s some chance of finding older coins on the west coast. It&#039;s been settled since the 1700&#039;s and boomed in the early 1800&#039;s. The problem is, nothing out here is original. Everthing has been built and re-built a few dozen times in the past 200 years, and that kind of disturbance means finding any artifacts is remote at best.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m always amazed every time I visit the east coast. What easterners take for granted in their architecture spanning several centuries in most communities, we never see where I&#039;m from. I live in one of the oldest towns in CA and the oldest building we have left was built in 1908....a new structure by eastern standards.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Whatever coins we have left burried in the ground will probably be left to archeologists instead of metal detectors, unfortunately, and most are probably lost forever.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
