Update: I brought a metal detector to the old Sunrise Mall food court and found 37 coins from the 80s.
I figured the worn-out tile would be picked clean, but scanning under the bolted-down benches (where they couldn't sweep) revealed a pocket of history, mostly pennies and dimes, which makes me wonder what other forgotten spots in these malls are hiding things people just dropped and never found.

Finding coins under benches is neat, but it's just loose change. The real forgotten spots are the old store stockrooms, where employees might have stashed unsold merchandise or left personal stuff behind. Those back rooms probably hold more interesting pieces of mall history than a few dimes.

You're right, but those stockrooms are usually the first thing the demo crews clear out. The real forgotten stuff is in the ceiling tiles above the food court.
