Did the drop table for panning change recently?

Between three 1.22 worlds I've panned about seventy blocks of sand (various rock types, most recent one was andesite). I've noticed a change; copper spearheads don't drop at all anymore. Didn't see it in the change logs but that might just be me looking in the wrong place. Has anybody else noticed this? Was it an official thing?

It's a 0.4% chance - on average 0.032 copper spearheads per block, or one per 31.25 blocks. Assume 70 blocks, it's 2.24 copper spearheads on average, and an ~10.6% chance for getting none at all. Low but not terribly low as far as chances go.

Nice to know SOMEBODY still sees them. I play vanilla, so it can't be a mod... grr. I really like those spearheads in the early game!

I got 4 yesterday. When it rains it pours! What I really want when panning are gold nuggets and I never seem to get them.
