Title: The depth enigma Post by: mole on April 13, 2009, 12:27:32 PM Over years whilst detecting I,ve noticed the depth of a find does,nt always correspond with the age of the find someimes this can be partially explained by natural erosion ground movement soil make up etc for example a decimal two pence at six inches victorian florin at four inches a roman bronze at four inches and a william the third shilling at nine inches has you change see quite a variation ??? has Edward Elgar would put it ;D ;D mole

After recovery i checked the hole and got another signal dug down about two inches and found a 1943 sixpence. Could be ploughing,worm action, voids, root action, excessive water. There are a number of valid reasons but size is not a issue.
