How does stuff get 3-5' deep?
There are a couple different ways a coin can end up so deep. Besides being intentionally buried as a cache, farmers plow fields (1-2 feet), old cellar holes which over time fill in some. Old foundations may have a new structure to replace the previous, exavation in general could put the coins deeper. Flash flooding with mudslides, land developement with bulldozers, fill dirt or topsoil hauled in dumptrucks, digging for septic systems, etc.
