Which dry or wet ground is best chance for deep coins?

[ChicagoJohn]

I am curious about which one wet or dry ground is best for deep coins? I found my first Barber dime last week at about 8 inch deep. The year is 1906. I am happy! I did that area before and I think that I missed barber dime. I found it on very dry ground and make me wondered about wet or dry is best to find a deep coin. I heard about good time to hunt deep coins is right after rain but I am not sure! What you think of best chance to find a deep coin?

My hunts have made me believe that the depth is about the same wet or dry. Live in East Central Iowa and got our first rain in six weeks yesterday. Digging has been a B#$$%$@ but do not think my finds or depth of finds has fallen off. I do think that in wet ground I can run a faster swing speed just seems the wet ground is a little kinder on the processor being able to get a signal quicker. Could be wrong so do not beat me up just what I have noticed. HH Dave

in over 3 yrs of using the etrac and going thru 3 drought summers, I have noticed ZERO depth loss in bone dry ground with the etrac

in dry ground there is LESS falsing from iron, and to me coins seem to scream in dry ground when you go over them

in wet ground the etrac will false a LOT on deep nails

It used to be (with TR machines) high freq. ones that you got deeper signals with wet soil because "larger Halo's" were produced by coins. My Etrac gets 'em deep dry or wet........nge
