What you see is about the last 3 to 4 months amount. Some are old some are new some are silver and some are clad. Been in detecting for over 20 never lived anywhere else so wondering if its normal. Thanks everyone

Looks like quite a few Euro, some Korean Won, Canadian, and Pesos. Canadian and Pesos would make sense since both countries are part of North America. The Euro and Won could also be from soldiers who were stationed overseas. Also, there is a rather large Korean and European (German) population in the US from soldiers who marry overseas. Then, like you said, Las Vegas is a large tourist area.

I haven't been metal detecting long but I think that being where you are that you might find a higher than average amount of foreign coins.

If you need identifications or any valuing, just list the coins (I know it's a lot), and I will give you detailed IDs and values. I saw a US quarter in the first picture I think.

I never found any money in Vegas, but I did leave some there. I guess what goes to Vegas stays in Vegas.
