A coin dealer posted a list of significant coin finds in and around homes. Included are caches and collections. One cache, for example, consisyed of two sealed pipes full of hundreds of mercury dimes.
He does a blog and has a number of posts that you might find interesting.

People sometimes ask what my name is. If my blog was like some of the others my name would be in large print, top and center, but unlike those blogs, the primary purpose of this blog is not to promote the author. The focus of this blog is on the ideas - not me.
After many questions and much prodding I decided to take part of one post out of the thousands that I've done to try to answer some of the questions in the way that I think will be the most meaningful. I guess most sites have an About the Author section, and it might actually help you get a better idea of where I am coming from. I'm sure you've gathered a lot from what I've already put out there over the years.
My name wouldn't tell you as much about me as my actions and the words that I post nearly every single day. I'll sum up what I am in two words - systems analyst. I'm a systems analyst by nature, personality, training and career. I like to figure out how things work and figure out how to do get things done. It isn't confined to one type of system. It includes beaches, as the dynamic systems that I've described many times, educational systems, businesses, computer systems, and humans, as information processors. I apply the same tools of analysis and problem solving to all of those and have taught psychology, computer science, education and business classes in universities. The same analytical tools are applied to those various fields of study. I can't describe myself as an IT person, or psychologist, or an educator, because what I do can be applied to almost any field and has been applied to many, including metal detecting, and especially beach metal detecting, which I took up some years and ago and pursue to this day.
Somebody asked if I came to Florida because of metal detecting. The answer is no. I wasn't metal detecting yet.
Listening to the recent discussions about the Boeing 737 crashes on TV and all the talk of flight systems and flight training reminded me of what brought me to Florida a few decades ago. I received a consulting contract to develop computer-based pilot training for Eastern Airlines, and their training center and headquarters was in Miami. I was living in Atlanta at the time.
Eastern Airlines had purchased A-300s, and needed to train their pilots on the new planes. Having never been in a cockpit, I used the A-300 manuals, which the Eastern Airlines ground school people liked to say were written in Frenglish (Airbus is a French company), to develop simulation software for the AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System). Of course, everything was verified by their flight training personnel before it was adopted, but it is probably the one thing I was able to accomplish that makes me the most proud. It demonstrates how the same analytical and problem solving tools can be applied to many different kinds of problems, including beaches.
I started detecting not long after coming to Florida, but almost always had a project like this to work on and spent my leisure time detecting. Often I took my detector when I traveled on business and got a few hours in after work at different locations around the state and country..
I hope that helps answer some of the questions, although I'm sure it won't answer all of them. I'm not totally comfortable with talking so much about myself although everything I do on this blog has a lot of me in it. To some extent it is unavoidable.

I spoke a little too soon. It seems that all the swinging and digging caught up with me even though I limited my detecting on each outing. I had to take some days off even though I really wanted to go out.
It looks like we'll have a couple more days of around three foot surf, so I don't expect things will change to much, although you could get a little improvement or deterioration on different beaches.
Still having trouble with my camera too.
Happy hunting,
