No this is not a matter of the heart, I am 35 years old and married. I was wondering if there is a method to dating relics based on the depth at which they are found? Is there a good rule of thumb to go by such as x years for x depth? I guess reasonably one would assume that the deeper an object is found the older it is but is this a reliable assumption?
The reason I ask is that I found a button that is rather ornate, is in good condition but it was found at a depth of about eight inches. I can't imagine the button being very old given the condition but it was found pretty deep in compacted soil.
For those of you that clicked on this topic looking for dating advice here goes. If you come home and your significant other is watching Snapped and taking notes there's is a good chance you might want to spend less time metal detecting!
