Krom, would you keep any coins that you happened to find near one of the graves?
That's a tricky question, Zoyboy. Sounds like you're trying to trick me. 
I take it (by the nerve of the thought) that you would, huh?
(Now that you've had your laugh, :P) I was there specifically to find the lost grave markers... that's it.
I did that as a community service, and nothing more... not to mention that it was for my deceased brothers in arms, and unless I'm asked to do it again, I won't go back (not for love of money, that's for sure... ever) 'cause a coin isn't important to me when I'm trying to help my fellow man or woman. That's what it's all about.
(BTW... I got all kinds of coin singals, but steered clear of 'em!)
There will never be any monotary value in any grave yard.
Plead "no contest". It's the best thing you can do.

Hi ZB. I know people that put things in the ground for their loves one. When my boyfriend mom died 9 years ago, we each put something in her casket before we buried her. Then when her head stone arrived a few of the brothers dug holes and buried other objects. My point being is that people do bury things on top of their love ones. And we are talking about civil war graves where most soldiers did not even die in their own home state, but were buried somewhere near the battlefield where they fell. How do you know that there weren't families that traveled many miles by wagons and horses to visit their fallen love ones and place something there for them to know they would always live on in their hearts and are not forgotten. Yes it could only be a quarter from a groundskeeper pocket, but it could also be a memento that was place there with loving care. Either way that is a person last resting place. Let them keep what little they have.

This is a very delicate subject and as a detectorist i think you should go to your codes of conduct .We cant start detecting on ground that might be a burial site ,i dont think it matters if other people are going to move in and do whatever it is they are going to do there(let it be on there consious).We as detectorists already have a hard time against some archeologists so we dont need that sort of thing on top of it all.I am sure you can find other land somewhere,but please respect that site for what is is
