I have tried but I cannot seem to get away from interference, so I pose the question to anyone who has tested targets whilst still in ground (or burried), compared coils and other detectors to the Infinium.

Anyone done any in-ground tests of targets?

I have made inground tests with the Infinium, Excalibur II, Fisher CZ 20 with 10 inch coil and fisher CZ 21 with 8 inch coil and White's PI Pro.
the Excal was the poorest performer of all for depth but might have the best discrimination. Tones are a personal thing depending on ones hearing ability. i have some loss of hearing in the mid tone range and have difficulty hearing a differance in the Excal hi and mid tone. The CZ has a clear differance. i found the Infinium to get deep in mineralized ground but a bit less than the fishers in low mineralization. My Excal depth fell apart badly in high mineralization but was OK in low mineralization.

Did you have the Excal in pinpoint mode? What coil were you using for it?

I did the jefferson nickle at a foot test with it and the Infinium gets it at 11 inches, no signal or just a blip sometimes at the foot mark. That is with both the big 10x14 coils. The 8" mono got it also at 11 inches. The drop off on the signal from the Infinium is drastic. The soil here is hot Oregon volcanic browm clay nasty stuff. The smallest gold nugget I have got is .4 gram. at 2 inches in the field. Air test near 3 inches. Cant get anything smaller than that. Some Austrailian Infinium users can get nuggets down to .1 gram at couple inches, wish mine was that sensitive. Seems some of theirs are different.

Compared the Minelab Se {stock coil}, Excal 8, 10 , Whites Dfx {stock coil} and the Infinium with the 10x14 mono, on dryland.{Maryland,USA}.regular soil but wet. The Se was the strongest, on depth and discrimination by far. On coins, rings, and junk. With the other 4 very close in the ability to hit each target. I would rank them, Se first, excal 10, infinium equal...with the 8 inch excal and the Whites DFX very close. All of the settings on the machines were just factory presets on the DFX, and the SE. With the excals in AM/PP mode, sens set to 12 o'clock, and the infinium set at disc..0...threshold 6 ..
At OC Maryland the infinium is deeper then the excals by several inchs on the wet sand {2 to 5?}, only use the SE, Dfx in the dry.... Still a newbie with the LS, all could change..Joe

Remember, The Infinium will start to show its superior depth above the other machines as the black sand and mineralization become heavier.
VLF type detectors start to lose depth in these situations and this is where a pulse detector really starts to shine

I have a 0.23gm and an 0.83gm solid nug that both, separately produce an easily heard but quiet signal when buried in hard packed decomposed granit, qtz and iron stone at 8cm and the 8 inch mono scanning at a height of 10 cm above the nugg. Disc at zero, threshold at zero. there was some interference so I wound the threshold back to cut it out. Without the interference and with the threshold turned up to 5 or 6 these nuggs would have detected at between 10 and 14 cm at least.
