I was excited to do some detecting at my friend's house in Lowell, MA last weekend. It was build in about 1877. It's on an 1879 map. I found nothing but Lincoln memorial pennies so far, and the soil is very easy to dig -- almost like potting soil. Is it possible that at some point in the recent past a layer of topsoil was put over the old yard, rendering the older coins and stuff deeper? Does this happen often?
