deep coin sounds

[4luckyo]

do deep coins sound strong with the exp II ? I mean past 8 inch mark .

Theydo if you get the new improved $1300 EX II.

You can either turn the gain up to amplify deep signals or turn Deep on. Both will help with weak/deep signals.

I found several reale type coins about 11 inched deep and they were solid repeatable signals. They were about the size of a quarter but much thinner. Bury some coins in your yard and check it out.

yes I found a Colonial LC at 12" that sounded like it was at 6". smaller coins like half reales may be much fainter at that depth but no other machine on market has the same capability IMO

I guess you cant make a coin be deep under your coil every time you hunt, and also you cant find it if it isnt there.

Had and still have the xs and the 2, have found a 3 cent piece at about 8 loud and clear,3 cent piece is paper thin and smaller than a penny.use your gain control to amplify th deep targets,and to tell you the truth there are so many variables its really a hard question to answer I.E. sweep speed ,soil, your settings is the ground wet?the list goes on but if it aint there it just aint there.I personally havnt noticed a difference with the xs ,have with different coils and settings.

most coins will be 1-6" - even many of the older ones. Most likely situation to find really deep coins -
a) you need soil that was used 100 years or more ago
b) soil that is fill dirt from another place
c) farm field that has been plowed
e) sand that has been piled by tides (wave action)

There will always be exceptions but most coins in soil, including very old ones, are not greater than 8" deep. That has been my experience and I've dug some pretty old coins. HH!
