I know of several waterfalls within a reasonable drive that I've been wondering about. One that I did detect in I found about a $1 in clad. All newer stuff. This waterfall has obviously been here for a few years and I got to thinking about where I would find older stuff in a waterfall swimming hole. Right below the falls its probably about 4 feet deep or so. About 15 feet out from the waterfall is a gravel bar. All obviously pushed up by the force of the water. Most of this gravel is quarter to half dollar sized and where I found most of the clad. Now in this situation we have the deep pool below the falls which I'm wondering about. Is it possible that the falls can pull items back in and down deeper or would it take items such as rings and coins and force them downstream over time. I was thinking that maybe I should have been detecting all the way down the stream for at least a 100 feet or so. Where do you guys think the oldest loot would be? In that pool, under 2 to 3 feet of gravel or down the creek a bit farther? Swiz
