Up to my armpits, for a foxhole!

I found a broken E-tool and a few small pickets on the way down! (We were only allowed to dig where there was previously a foxhole...)

Mine would be a cannonball 2-3 feet. My deepest coin was 14inches but it may have fell back in the hole ,not sure .

Re: What is the deepest you've dug?

I dug this 1906 S.F. vehicle license plate at about 12 inches. I'm pretty sure it was that deep. Digging tool is about 12 inches long and the hole went all that way up to the end of the handle when I saw the plate in the bottom of the hole. It is made out of brass or copper, it gave a perfect coin signal.

When I was around 12 I used to find old wells and crawl in them and dig out the bottles. :laughing7: Never ever dug one all the way out.
