I don't yet own a metal detector but I have firm intentions since I have been reading these wonderful forums. Detectorists seem to be a really interesting group of people.
I don't really know your American coins and I would love to know what the buying power of the dimes, wheaties, Indians, silver dollars, etc at the time that they were probably lost. I always wonder what loss the pioneer, soldier or homesteader suffered when they lost that coin.
I have found the coin calculator on Whites web site but if anybody knows of a site where I can learn what a cowboy could buy for his silver dollar when he lost it, I would love to read that. I feel sorry for their loss.
Happy Hunting.
