[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 4190, member: 147"] G'day Scoopa....happens down here a bit too in some of the older parks. If the pre dec was lost on original ground it may have sunk only a few cm if the ground was clayey. The 20year old mod coin may have sunk only a couple of cm in the same kind of soil. Often these kinds of soils didn't let the coins sink too far... Some of these clayey areas use to be top dressed to accommodate turf and the like, and generally 10 to 15 cm was a common amount of dressing. Could explain your area. :/ An old race course I once detected had a lot of deep targets also, and I later found out it was ploughed for lucerne...which also explained the several bent coins i got from that area...Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
