Default coin depth

hey all. heres the question of the day. whats the deepest coin you have dug? i was just reading about some detectors not being much good over six inches or so. being from an older town (est about 1890) im wondering how deep i should be looking. im sure traffic in the area is part of this but where im looking theres no cars just people motorcycles etc. thanks bernie.

Construction or land clearing can also act against you. If they have scraped the top 6" of soil off a piece of land the majority of the stuff went with the dirt they took away. It also depends on the type of soil where you live, sandy loose soil will allow coins to sink deeper faster, while clay soil like where I live tend to hold the items closer to the surface. I hope this helps.
