<p>[QUOTE=&quot;montynj3417, post: 6097102, member: 89220&quot;]Around 1880 or so, a decent supper at a cafe would be about a dime. A newspaper was one cent. In 1910, a pack of Camel cigarettes cost ten cents. So no, if you&#039;re detecting and you find a gold coin, it wasn&#039;t some working stiff who dropped it. Why ever would most people have a gold coin on them in the first place? With a pocket full of nickels, dimes and pennies you were all set! Probably, it was some kid from a well-to-do family who took it out to show to his friends and then, like the chowderheaded twit he probably was, lost it in some tall grass or a weedy lot, playing baseball.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
