Would this be Relic Hunting or Coinshooting...

If you are metal detecting and looking for coins with major historical significance such as colonial coins would that be coinshooting or relic hunting? I mainly look for any item of historical significance, specifically colonial and early american artifacts of any kind, and I consider early coins more as relics than coins, though they do not go in my relic display cases.

cionman123, I think you've answered your own question by saying, "they do not go in my relic display cases".
Either way, post a few pics of your colonials please. I've never dug one.
Thanks
Peace ✌

I don't have that problem, because in 1855 Oregon, there were darn few coins for anyone to loose. I think large cents etc. are still legal currency and spendable at face value, and in that case wouldn't it be coin shooting? On the other hand, if I was to find a hot lick and was getting relics and coins from the same site, I think I'd display the lot of it together, the coins would be part of the artifacts.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
