Over my 40+ years of metal detecting I've hunting many old virgin sites in Michigan that yielded ZERO coins. I dug lots of coin sized targets at these locations such as deep buttons---but no coins!
I recall one virgin lumber camp I know was never touched because I picked up a fortune in old bottles mostly visible to the eye but not one single coin did I dig!
Back in the TR detector days we used to rake our detecting areas to get down past the rotted leaves, etc., to the actual ground surface.
In all-metal mode my Wilson-Neuman GBIII could detect an Indian cent at 9 inches deep (1983).
But even till this day I wonder why some seemingly awesome old sites produced no coins? Not even a holed coin!
Anybody else ever have this happen?
