soil moisture

i live where the ground freezes and in spring it is very moist. i am new but found several coins from the 1880-1920 at nine to ten inches. as we go thru a dry spell and the ground is getting much dryer, i seem not to be hitting near as many nine inch deep coins.is this due to moisture or am i just cleaning out the easy ones????
 
I have always found coins deeper in moist than dry soil. This is another area where I have taken it for granted that we get more depth. I am not sure how the salts, ferrites, bonding of the soil to the target, and how the electromagnetic field reacts to these factors but I do agree with you that we get more depht in moist soil.

i believe the minelabs work alot with the "halo"effect. when the ground is damp or better yet saterated it is easer to pick up the halo. the water intensifies the halo field thats why the machines work well in undisterbed ground as opposed to ground that has been broken up such as plowed fields etc...the wetter the better just wish that mudd wouldn't stick to my hands lol
 
The hammered sites around town here are a waste of time to hunt when the ground is dry. But after a good soaking you can find some deep goodies. I would give a totally off the wall guess of 2 inches difference in the depth you can get when the ground is moist. Maybe more!
