I dug the pictured Hotchkiss round in the woods of Alabama the other day. I measured the depth at 29 inches. If there is little trash in an area, which hasn't seen much human activity over the years, the ATX will easily hit on deep iron. It's missing its sabot and base plate, but the percussion fuse has a nice patina. I've attached a few photos of the round and one of the hole minus several layers of tough roots! There's also an attempt at a "selfie" of me (ugly but happy mug) and the round. Thanks for viewing, Dan
