So you just meant that older coins in Ohio were deeper than older coins in other states?bakergeol said:"So the ground conditions in Ohio I felt favored deep old coins and? the state wasn't settled earlier like Pa. NY or Va. which would produce much older coins."
What does the part about Ohio mean?
I always felt that overall Ohio-farmland had pretty unstable soil conditions compared to the west where I live now. Ghost town relics here in the west in my opinion? generally seemed to be shallower but that is just an overall impression. In my opinion just different soil conditions, rainfall, etc played a part. As Ohio became a state in 1803 the areas which I detected further in the East in Pa. and Va(old churches) had a much longer history and hence the coin finds were better and older.

I think it not called metal detector before 1965 but a huge magnet. (Link Removed by mod as spam)
This is exactly what my very first metal detector looked like except it was a dark brown color !! Got max 2 inch or so depth out here.
The metal detecting before 1960 was off the chain, even better than that before 1965 by far.
