Because the buildup of soil is so deep there, there must be places where the dirt has been removed and are more shallow. So, those relics should be very close to the surface.

If it was in the Dustbowl it could be covered with tons of soil also.

Gardiner Electronics used to make a 36-inch diameter coil for their detectors. Think John has one.
