I live in Oregon, Oregon City. When Bidens infrastructure bill passed this bridge is getting 3 lanes added and both off ramps rebuilt. So when the construction on the Sam Jackson bridge began and they started pulling mud from the bottom off the Willamette River where the new bridge supports will be, I asked if I could metal detect that material. At first they were hesitant, but after I showed them what I was finding they were flattening out heir piles so I could cover more ground. I was allowed to go over the piles of mud from the West Linn side and the Oregon City side. To this date I have found 9 silver dollars, 3 CC, 4 Morgan and 3 Peace 17 Half dollars a good mix, 31 silver quarters, 38 dimes, 14 nickels 28 pennies, 14 copper & brass tokens, 1 broken gold chain, 3 gold rings, 3 silver rings. 2 - 5 ounce silver bars. I go back every weekend as the piles are added to and moved around. I wondered why I am finding this stuff. This section of the river is unique. There is a falls close by and when the river floods which it does every so often, floating houses sometimes break free of their moorings and crash and break apart as they go over the falls. The coins are heavy they fall out of the flow stream and land on the mostly smooth muddy bottom. The mud layer is only about a foot thick. I can recall 2 floods but I went to the Oregon museum of history and there I found there were 14 flood events dating back to 1821. when the area was populated by the various Indian tribes. the only settlement was Ft Vancouver. Oregon City was selected to be the state capitol except there was not enough flat land space for the capitol building, so the site was changed to the Salem site in 1839.

Interesting hunt guys, but for us guys down under Australia it would be great if we knew what denominations your coins are ,because I don't have any idea what a weenie is or a Ben franklin is. I thought a Ben Franklin was $100 note. Look forward to your next upload π
