We need to be good conservators of our hobby and and think about the detectorists of 100 years from now. By that time coins will have long been ceased to be used in trade.
Let's assume the detecting technology will get better.
Before you start out on your hunt, put a handful of dirty nasty clad in your pocket. Every time you go hunting and dig that deep silver dime at 8 to 11" dig the hole about 6 more inches deeper and plant a memorial or a shield or a dime or nickel. If you really wish to spice up their game plant a rosie or merc.
Or to create the find of the century, plant a nice generous coin spill of silver coins. It will be reported on on the news media outlets and that lucky detectorists will be freaking famous. He will land huge endorsement contracts from the surviving metal detecting manufacturers.
An occasional Hotwheel car will be a nice find 100 years from now, so carry some of those also. And you relic hunters up in PA and VA take some of those spare 3 ringers and plant them about 20 inches deep. And no you are not required to plant a CSA belt buckle, that would be asking too much.
Now don't be mean and bring any pull tabs, square tabs or screw tops to plant deep. Well on second thought we want to keep the hobby realistic, so fill your other pocket with metal trash.
Imagine the delight when those future detectorists find some of these treasures that were only written about in the MD forums back in the day. I can imagine a future detectorists doing the fabled memorial dance with he finds a 2000 memorial penny.
They will wonder in their forum posts how we ever found anything with our primitive AT Pro, 800, Deus detectors.
It is either do your bit with the Johnny Coin Seed thing or see the detecting hobby disappear into the history books.
