I am wondering are there any estimates of hardwood forests annual soil build up?
1/4" per year would mean CW relics would be buried 39" deep.
or 1/10" per year they would be buried 15.8" deep.
I have reports from some older detectorist around Atlanta saying in the mid 70's were finding hundreds of 3 ringers. would mean an additional coverage of 11.7 inches if the accumulation rate was 1/4" per year.
Or 4.7" if the accumulation rate was 1/10" of an inch.
Maybe that is where are of the CW relics are now hiding around here, just below the depths that our detectors can detect.
Now I am guessing in ravines the opposite is happening and the dirt is eroding at the same time as building if covered with trees.
