41 Lincolns at 8 inches..why?? 1 silver heart and a brass faucet

[DavidRandolph]

I received permission to search this mans property. The house was built in 1952, and sits on an acre of land. . I started getting signals immediately showing 04-28 and 27. The audio was not smooth but when circled was consistent. The depth showed about 8 or 9 inches. The soil is very soft and loamy but sure enough I saw a coin at 8 inches or so. i was hoping for at least a wheaty but it was a Lincoln penny. A few feet away another signal, and another Lincoln at the same depth. this continued all around the house. The tally for 2 hours was 41 Lincolns, 1 nickle, 1 brass faucet and surprise surprise, a silver heart that appeared to be torn off its chain as it has a tear in the top part. It clearly says sterling on it, and when i got home i tested it and it proved to be silver. The strange thing is that the heart was only 3 inches deep and the heavy brass faucet was a little over 3 inches. Why would the pennies be so deep? I have never found new coins so deep.

Sounds like fill dirt.
Ask the owner how long hes lived there and if its been a while ask him if he has ever added fill dirt to the yard.
Its not uncommon to run into this.

I agree with Mike. Folks get a landscaper to give them a better lawn. So they bring in top soil and throw drown a ton of fresh seed or SOD

I never thought of that Mike. That has to be what happened. i will ask the owner and see if he has done that or the previous owner.

Thanks

I wonder the same thing every time I pop out a deep clad turd. Annoying as HELL it is...change sites.
