here is a Spanish Olive jar.....circa early 1700's... I took 3 of em out of this hole. I originally metal detected a 1750 pewter tankard in the ground at 16 inches. SO,then, I got out the shovel........ okay, this is one method of digging I use....trenching .....when I get in an old area that has proven itself. I start a trench to see how far down the artifact layer goes.....this eliminates all the questions about "gee, how can I get deeper penetration with my metal detector". Here's your answer..."A SHOVEL" lol Cause every metal detector manufacturer is gonna keep trying to sell you a new "improved deeper model" and a good shovel cost about $20 at the home depot. yeah, I hate to have to say it,but yes, it takes some work sometimes if ya wanna get the rare stuff. Well, there ya go, tip number 1......
