Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I used to look for change in the area by my elementary school where parents let kids off. Quite a bit of change intended for lunch money and the like ended up in the gravel.
I had an archaeology professor who was a classical archaeologist specializing in coins. His years of practice meant he picked up $200 to $300 in change a year on campus.

I did a 10-day tour of Turkey with a group of archaeologists and my friend Deb found coins on 2 different sites (nothing special, just bronze Byzantine stuff, but still! She had the eye.) But in some areas metal detectorists are pretty hazardous for archaeological sites.
But, what if I wanted a children's book?
Timelies all!
