I'm curious as to how deep people from different countries find their coins and relics. I guess the reason I ask  is since under normal circumstances- the coin or relic should sink deeper into the ground over time. Here in the US -Most of my finds have been in the 1-6 inch deep range. I know soil types play a role. I am just curious how deep coins and relics travel in an older environment.

Here in ohio I've found many items in the range of 6 to 10" range.  Varying with soil condition etc. etc.

I kind of surprised at that. I have found some deeper items but these were in flood zones or areas where there was construction going on.

Note that I didn't state I found all items at that depth.  I stated that I found many items at around that depth.  I also find them at other depths like everyone else in other places...it just depends on how recently the item was lost and so on.  Some of my oldest and best finds have come from that depth.  I have also made many good finids from around the 4 to 6" mark as well.  Alot of it really depends on the area i'm hunting.

Very true.  It all just depends on what you are digging and where you are digging it at.

i'm not sure what you mean by older environment.

but i can say in pa. i've found state hood quarters deeper than spanish american pillar dollars from mid 1760's.

i've found mercury dimes from the teens practically exposed.

each & every coin has it's own story for getting lost,you'll never know what's where or how deep anything is,i think thats a large part of the high i get from this great hobby! Smiley

great question,thanks for jump starting me this morning~owe you a beer! Grin

Everything being equal- the older coins obviously will sink deeper then the new ones. There are a number of variables- one of which is soil type which would explain finding a newer coin deeper then an older coin.

I AGREE~older losses do have more time to sink.
a pebble can stop it from ever sinking at all. groundhogs could toss an oldie up,and probably does somewhere,everyday,or they could take clad down.i mean there's a billion coins out there and they all have their own story.

i think i need a belt Tongue
