Dug an 1844 large cent, toasted wheatie, and musket ball today.  This is the 8th large copper I have dug from this site, which is a random field I’ve been working on and off since last year.

Still not a single silver.  Getting a bit frustrated in that regard.

I just realized that I never post the depths of my digs, and that is because I never know, and don’t care all that much, but my new pinpointer has a ruler right on it, so it is pretty much automatic.

The largie was 8.5 inches deep, not counting an inch or two for the turf, and the wheatie was about 7 inches deep.  I’m not going to see silver dimes at that depth, in all likelyhood, but I did find a bust silver half in a random field, so we can hope for big silver someday.
