Lets look at the basic questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?
For me, I am a coin shooter, so . . .
Who? Me and also those who are seperated from their coins.
What? Coins, very preferably pre 1964.
When? I'm here now but they should have been present pre 1964 or even somewhat later.
Where? I look in areas people would have been using coinage, or possibly hiding savings. Accidental drops can be anywhere. Parks, picnic areas, circus flats and carnival/fairgrounds, foundations, yards, paths, party spots, etc.
Why? For me silver content and age, for them to be placed to spend or possibly hide savings.
How? For me, metal detector, for them accidental loss or forgotten or inability to recover caches.
Now lets look at Oak Island.
Who? Unknown.
What? Unknown.
When? Sometime before 1795.
Where? A depression on Oak Island under a branch with grooves in it.
Why? Unknown.
How? With some devious methodology to place something impossibly deep to recover easily.
Nah.
