You've found some awesome coins at that site. That is a very interesting story about the park and glad you shared it. I'm very sorry to know that you can't hunt there now, but maybe some day things will change for the better. I share your idea of a new coin falling to the ground not long after being minted. How many recent date clads do we pick up at less than an inch. I've got a great start to my states quarter collection reserved to only dug coins.
