2 hour hunt-Found ONLY 4 coins but they were a total of 37" DEEP...NO BULL

I had close to 2 hours before all the rain hit... AGAIN. I hate hunting in muck but I know I will have limited hunt time this year as compared to last. I hit my same beat to death site to try and scare some wheaties or silver out of the ground. Sometimes this site won't even give up a wheatie in 3 hours :clock:...but other times I pop a couple out. I hit a section that I can never hunt...mainly because even IF you get a signal...you can't dig it anyway because it's like concrete. It truly turns to pretty much cement all through summer because it's a gravel/sand/dirt/muck soil combo that hardens to cement....nice huh? :icon_sunny:
Anyway...it was diggable because of all the rain...which just won't stop. Signals were almost non existent...and when I got one...it was DEEP ...and a one way hit.
BOTH wheaties were an honest 10" down and I did measure them. I have never found two coins from that depth before in the same hunt. The 2 silvers came in the last 45 minutes of the 2 hours... and the merc came from an honest 9" :thumbsup:..and the Roosey came from 8". In two hours I dug ONLY these 4 coins...but NO BULL...they came from a combined depth of 37" for the four. 10"...10"...9"...8". I will take a hunt like that any day of the week. :thumbsup: ;D
I know 2 silvers and two wheaties are not much to brag about to most of you...but man were they deep.

I think it would have been more accurate to say they came from an average depth of 9.5 inches. If you swam in 4 pools of water,10 ft,10 ft,9 ft and 9 ft, you wouldn't say you swam in 38 feet of water.

Appreciate the info brother....but I think everyone understood exactly what I was conveying. If I wanted to give an average depth..I would have done so. I did not want to give an average depth....I wanted to give a total depth. If I had found 2 coins...one 12" and one 6"....and stated the average depth of 9" for the 2....it wouldn't have conveyed my point.
I wanted to post that I found 2 wheaties from 10" down...and 2 silvers from 9" + 8"....and give the total depth they were dug at...which is what I did. Good luck on your next hunt.
