I have just gotten back in to mding around the first of the year. Started out with a Ace 350 and found many many coins. None past the year 1966. None
more deeply than 3". Got a GTI 1500 now. Finding coins again where I used the 350 but where I was learning how to use the 350. Have now found with the GTI a Mercury dime I passed over with the 350. My question is, due to the light weight of coins, do they not sink as fast or as deep as other items such as ax heads, etc..? I see a lot of members finding very old coins and I wanted to know your opinion if maby I am not hunting in the right places or am I missing something? I see that especially in pennies, as that is what I find the most, they will be deeper and give off more of a gold indication rather than a penny. At the same time, those deeper pennies are almost unsalvageable due to corrosion and mineralizations attached to the coin. The home I live in was built in 1909 and was a re-build of a home that was there before that burned down. I know there are old coins there but I think my lack of experience is hindering my finding them. Any ideas anyone?
