Kinda like that around me..For some reason we had an overabundance of detectorists in my hometown over the last thirty years..Public park old coins are almost non existant at any city for miles away.. Sure once in a while you get a good one ..But other areas of the state still have easy to find coins in public parks.. Wish this hobby replenished itself , but it doesn't.. It's even hard to find a house that hasn't been detected around me..I do not dig almost all pennies that I think are memorials , I figure it will leave a few for others behind me , and if I ever do the site again , I will have a few readings to dig.. Sure I might leave a few wheaties by doing this , but I always figure I might get them next time , or the next guy may actually like finding modern pennies.. gotta be a dime or a quarter for me to dig lately... I call my shallow pennys that I leave .... "Seedlings "
I haven't been in a park in quite awhile I think you and Ed have sanitized them.
