#Loose items on ground despawn?

I wonder if the items that are still "loose" on the ground in the world despawn after a while?
I was recently in the mines and on several floors I found items that got "sucked up" when walking by and I thought they were left behind when I blasted through the mines to reach the bottom.

If they don't despawn then the game has some sort of in-game list where it remembers what item was dropped where? Would this in time impact the performance?

seems like dropped won't despawn, tried dropping it inside the cave, and ocean cave too. And the result is, the item is still there even after few seasons

i think so far it doesn't affect the game performance for me. but i guess eventually if there is too much item dropped, it might

Yeah. I have the same idea. My wife also loves running around and blow stuff up with dynamite since she cant be bothered to mine with the pickaxe so there's bound to be stuff left everywhere.
