Took off this morning to hunt an old farmhouse about 40 miles away. When I arrived, it was disappointing to see about an inch of slushy snow blanketing the yard. With the snow on the ground... I knew it would be quite messy digging holes. So instead, I traveled just a bit further and returned to the park where Ron and I found some very, very shallow Seated and Barbers.
The park had many shallow oldies left. The only item here found deeper than three inches was the token from six.
A few bonus IH's. One was right under the surface at about an inch.
The deepest target of the day was this token. It is the exact size as a Large Cent.
Research dates it from the 1850's. :happydance01:
I'm not really sure why older coins are so shallow here.
I've only worked a small area of this park, so a return trip or two is in
order before the end of the year. :yes:

There are only a few old trees in this park. But, the area I am hunting is on a slight incline. To add to the mix... the soil contains a lot of sand. I would have thought sandy soil would allow the coins to sink faster than normal... not slower.
