I found these four coin this week in 2 to 4 inches of sand at four different sites that have been hunted for decades. These are not secret or new spots. Thanks for reading and viewing. Z
 
That's because you are an experienced detectorist.

It takes more than that also.

Determination and confidence.

A little Luck never hurt anything either........:beers:

HH,
 
Great finds. I think those were the coins that I dug down 10 inches to get, then put in my pocket forgetting that the pocket had a hole in it.

You said you found those coins where ?:angel::clapping::twodetecting:

Have a great day and good hunting, John K
 
I have found newer Qs as deep as 8-9'' WHY is that and a 1926 Q just under the grass 1''. darn life is good. HH don
 
Thanks guys for the replies.
I only posted it because so many people think they must have a super detector and a secret place where no one has been before to get good finds. Even an old, flighty, slow, not always here guy stumbles upon some good finds.
I think luck has some part in it but I have been playing the lottery for some 20 years every day $1. Nothing yet... So TD that is how much luck is going for me. But I am persistent!!! Thanks again...Z
 
The ground at the location will determine the depth of a coin.I have hunted in some parks where memorial pennies will be at a depth of 10 inches plus.The clue when your in a bad location is when can slaw is recovered at 10 inches or more.One of my favorite site is a park with a two to three inch top soil with a rocky base.At this location I have dug Indian head pennies and V nickles at about a 3 inch depth.
 
I think some places the coins are really deep only because the more shallow ones have been retrieved by other detectorists or older detectors. I have found lots of great coins tht were shallow. BUT they were in unsearched years. Go to a park, and you have to listen for faint signals to get the coins that the others have missed. Just my two cents!!
 
You may be right Scubadetector.

I'm not a coin hunter so I don't have that many old coins.

You have lots more than me. 25 years ago I had a lot when
I was coin shooting back then. I sold or lost those.

But, most of the old coins I have found came from the most
hunted park in Arkansas. Fair Park.

Only a few were deep. That I can remember. But, I have found
artifacts that were really deep.

I've found a bunch of jewelry in the big tot lot there.

Most of the ground is hard there. I don't think they can sink.
But some get covered up.

I found an early 1900's quarter sitting on top of the ground there.

I hunted a WW I training camp. Found lots of artifacts. They
were all deep.The only coin I found was in soft ground. It was
a 1920 penny about 2 or 3 inches deep.

Don't have much to go on, but you can see why I said what I did.

Never really tried to go real deep. Sometimes I couldn't get 3"
with the older MD's I had, and the bad ground conditions, that, I
did not understand.

HH,
