Taking my cue from George's question in the above post - I think that the relative ease with which Reg found those silver coins in his old park is highly suggestive of one property of PI's which will become more evident shortly.
Reg has stated somewhere that VLF's react more strongly to ferrous than to non ferrous material. In a post from May 04, Paul (CA) wrote this about his Infinium PI detector: (by the way - I love the search function on this Forum!)
"And it's the best detector I've ever used including the Compass 77B to capture targets masked by iron. Until I placed my Infinium in my hands it was the compass 77b that was the best for iron sites and now it's the Infinium."
I suspect that rusty bottlecaps and tiny bits of iron and steel scrap as small as a staple have masked lots of coins. If this is correct, these coins will be easy to find now and we'll be shocked at how much we all missed in the VLF era due to relatively shallow and in some cases, completely silent masking.
