Casper had a post that got me to thinking about asking the following question;

If you were to guess at the dollar value of all the precious metals and coinage that gets lost on Florida beaches every year, what would you estimate that dollar value to be?


I'm thinking it has to be a staggering amount.

I read somewhere that there was more lost money, gold and silver in the ground than in circulation. Probably some MD company said this but there is a lot.
