Most everything deep in New Orleans it seems.

I got my 250 ace md for Christmas. With grand kids we've been working playgrounds, a couple of plantations, soccer fields, grand island state park, etc. We have been able to pick up coins, a couple of pre wwll coins and clad coins, a couple pieces of costume jewelry and miscellaneous tokens and key chains. What has struck me is it seems most everything we locate is 6 to 8"" plus and the digging is hard, plenty of roots and gumbo mud. Today we found a 2007 coin 8" down, and this area has not been filled in. How do coins get this deep this fast? I feel that we need to dig every good hit regardless of the depth. This takes a lot of time and I feel bad digging a big hole next to a soccer field and find myself giving up on a hit that sounds good for not wanting to dig too deep especially when I don't get an exact location with the locator. The kids get disappointed also. Of all the coins we have located only a few have been 2" or less. John Edmonton says deep means old, so dig. I've been a little disappointed in that theory so far. Is 8" for a dime considered deep? I guess I am not sure if my hunts have been normal or am I expecting to find more an lower depth.
I know this is long, but I had to ask someone.
