HUGE Money or just BIG money?

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.

Is that melt value or appraised? I agree its got to be staggering..... im sure thats what the IRS would like to know as well.

$18,503,943 in the last 25 years (give or take a buck or two) but there are a couple hunters on this forum that have recovered most of it....

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.

No matter where you hunt there is a zincoln waiting for you.
