Depth of Your Finds

Create a reply and let everyone know what the depth is of most of your finds.

I think we are going to find out that most of the coins are found at 4" or less,
Most Relics are probably between 4" and 6"., and most rings are probably between
2" to 6".

Happy 4th of July. Be safe
 
That really depends on where I hunt. Yesterday for example I got about $6.50 in clad out of a school sports field and almost everything was popped out with a screw driver at two inches or less. Last month I was at another school where it seems like everything was 3 or 4 inches or more deep. I dig a lot of stuff at 6 to 8 inches and deeper but the majority of it is under four inches.

Most silver coins are found it 4 or more inches, relics can be found at all depths depending on where you are searching ie ploughed fields, river valleys and rings in water (sand) can be found as deep as the machine will pick them up. That's been my experience.
 
In the water this morn....found a dime at 12-16" no meter reading....just good sound
 
I deep-hunt at old, well-hunted parks. Many of my finds there are 6-8 inches. Otherwise, as others have said, my coins are mostly under 4 inches at other spots.

The AT Pro is so darned sensitive, I find aluminum cans and can pieces at a foot sometimes. Those are at beaches. I won't dig a foot deep hole at a busy, well-maintained city park.

Yes it depends greatly on where I hunt.

If I'm hunting our city park I won't even bother with anything shallower than 7". It will ALWAYS be clad. If I wanted to hunt clad I go where it is shallow like a tot lot of school.
 
In the water this machine goes incredibly Deeep!! I have turned my sensitivity down trying to not see so deep....I'm tired of digging 10"+ for a penny :rofl:
 
Average depth for finds? Under 6"

There are some occasional exceptions, of course. But 6" is a fair guess....
 
I love to hunt older home sites when I get a chance, 1950's or older. I will take anything U give me , I will take a mile thats what an INCH does. 4 inch's about nails it on coins for me . I have found some cool relics with the ATPRO very deep , and I have found more then once a small brass tack head 8'' or so deep. I think most metal detectors signal more on brass then copper:shrug: For me I really like the pro audio , most of the time I can tell when a shallow steel bottle cap bangs an 81 or a soft high tone of a dime comes in at 81 at the same depth:thumbup: The deeper the steel caps are the harder it is. Small pieces of cast aluminum bang,but dimes and quarters are soft high tones at about 2 inchs, anything deeper I just dig.
