Ten inches plus.

Deepest coin for me was about 6 inches but I never took an accurate measurement. I found larger metal objects like cans a whole lot deeper than that probably down a foot or better.
Depth depends on so many factors, soil type, moisture in soil, how long an item has been buried, how its oriented. Technique and experience are probably the biggest factors. Swing slower, take the time to dig some of those one way signals and you'll find deeper items. Uncle Willy is fond of saying deeper does not necessarily mean older which I have also found to be true.
A few weeks ago I went out with my 2500 to two different sites. Both schools, new batteries, same settings. First site found coins down to about 5 inches. Next site nothing below about 2 inches. I've been back to both places and the one site routinely gives up only deeper coins while the other mostly shallow coins. Both modern schools built around the same time.
More information than you asked for. I tend to do that.

Your detector will only pick up one target at a time and it will always select the one nearest the coil and ignore everything else around it or under it. That's why chains are so difficult to detect because your detector only sees one link at a time - never the whole chain.

I dug a Vermont Copper earlier this year with my ACE. I was detecting a field that has been detected over and over since the invention of the metal detector. Conditions were very dry and the soil was like concrete. I got a signal reading a solid dime at about 6 or 7 inches. When I dug down about 8 inches and there was no coin, I scanned the hole again and the signal was still there. I was fairly confident by the signature of the pinpoint that it was a coin so I dug and scraped the next 2 inches of concrete like sand, periodically using my pinpointer to make sure I didnt scrape it with my shovel. Finally at about 10 inches I got it! It was badly corroded by fertilizer, but it was the deepest coin I found so far with the ACE.
