Guzz I was beach hunting up at the North end of Longboat Key in the pass, around the casarina trees in the water and found a pile of quarters, nickles, dimes and pennies. Piled up basicly, I pulled a couple out checked again and kept pulling modern clad out. I think there was a couple dollars worth. It was right at the base of a tree, in the water, and there was a branch about shoulder high that went straight out like a shower curtain rod and a sawed off limb next to it. I suppose that they were used to hang pants on, and coins fell out. Maybe yours were where someone stood on their head. Steve in Sarasota.
