<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 4874004, member: 57463"]I agree that it would be interesting to perform the experiment. Every beach would be different. With enough beaches, you could form a generalization. I will say that the action will be some kind of back-and-forth as each wave comes in and recedes and then as the tide comes in and goes out. Coins that are initially pushed get dragged out. Coins sucked into the ocean return. And it depends where and when along the shore you distribute them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Allow me suggest an analogy to stories of detectorists who insist that they found a genuine Confederate coin because it was near a famous battlefield and six inches or six feet under the topsoil. It means nothing. The ground moves. I learned that when a coin club guy brought in a stone ax head that came up from plowing a field. I took it to a nearby a university and talked to the museum curator. The ground moves. Alone as data the depth of the find is insufficient to guess the age of the deposit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
