Howdy ! I got my EXP II about a month ago and still learning alot from y'all and each experience here in central Florida . I often focus my fishing, planting of vegetables, and shelling expeditions based on the moon phases, and wonder if anyone here has noticed an increase in deeper finds with the full or new moon phases ?

full moon = deeper coins ?

The full moon would give you enough light to see that you have semi-auto on and that you need to turn it off which would equal deeper coins....so yes...full moon could equal deeper coins. 
Over the years I have seen something like this, but never paid much attention if it is a full moon or new moon or what, but seen certain times of the month you will see some well worked sites do great. Coins seem to be popping out all over the place like the site never been worked before.
Just look at some of the Forums and you will see some days many nice finds posted and a week later there is not much of anything being posted.
Don't know what cause's this for sure, but remember one spring I was in a hurry to detect, so I went between the snow and thawed areas of a well worked area and got a barber half, a walking lib half and a franklin half plus a barber quarter and a few mercs. Was real shocked as I worked this area along with others the fall before. Didn't get back for a week or so, so most area was melted and couldn't find a coin to save my sole, but a month later I got several coins out of the same area.
Figured it has to do with a moon phase or something, see if you notice too at certain times of the month you see better finds being posted.

Don't discount semi-auto... It has it's place. There have been times I've had a crappy hit in manual and turn semi-auto on and let the Explorer adjust itself some. Then put the sensitivity between 16-18... and it sounds off better! There have been other people experience this too.

You bet it will make a difference. If you are beach hunting that is when the tides are at there lowest. More beach to hunt.
A site's detectability is mostly dictated by the way moisture interacts with its mineral contents. Ground temperature will probably help the chemical interactions also.....But its a complex cycle with so many factors involved.
A site can indeed go through a 'quiet phase', generally when the sub-soil is dry. But if you have a period where the water can penetrate the surface, to maybe 10 or 12 inches, leaving the upper layer then drying out. Bingo!...the area appears to come alive.
So its the soil's moisture 'phases' that creates the 'hide and seak' senarios....MattR.UK.

I have tested coins that I have buried and during the summer while its hot and sun is shining that the deeper ones are harder to detect, going out at night the same day and they were more easily detected. I don't know about the full moon but it seems to me that extreme heat and sunlight are a detriment to full detection.

I to, know of many people, who use the phases of the moon and in there opinion it is to determine optimum times for fishing, planting of vegetables, for harvest and consuming certain produce, human fertility highs and lows and I am sure there are other reasons to do so.
In social discussions of the past and usually while we were all consuming a nice wine or two or three,
my ex wife, who is still a nurse in one of our local major hospitals and some of her work colleagues, suggested, that there seemed to be a notable increase of incoming emergency patients during and leading up to, the very final quarter of a visible moon. These increases were only at night time.
Most incoming patience were suffering from all sorts of physical injuries, that were either self inflicted or inflicted against them by others. It seems that they may have been somehow been influenced by that phase cycle of the moon or maybe just the by the presence of the moon light.
Normally in most cases you could bet that alcahol or drug abuse were usually the cause, but in some cases, it wasn't.
Unexplainable, it seems. There may be some effect on the brain of some human and other living biological beings on this earth by the moon, night or day, but it has never really been proven.
Yes the moon does influence the tidal movements on this earth and is believed to have been a powerful force, in the past , in helping to shape the earth and there is "the giant impact hypothesis that has been considered a more viable scientific hypothesis for the moon's origin that it may have been part of our earth,
BUT,
there seems to be a lack of any real hard evidence that a particular phase of a moon cycle or the moon could have any measurable influence on how man made electronics will or will not function due it's presence although it's understandable as to why some could think, that it would.
Also given that it seemd to be visualy an obviousely larger body, other than the sun, that is so close to earth in our sky, we could be forgiven if we did believe that the moon does somehow have some influence.
The SUN could quite possibly be causing some form of electrical influence on man made electronics somewhere along the line in the way it transmits/receive over distance, but I don

To me, When I've Deer hunted in the past, people say to hunt with a full moon phase...Never had any definite change because of it! If you look at the deer kill records the state of Missouri has, its happened when opening weekend and the last weekend was very mild.....meaning more hunters in the woods......AS to the comment made about the "moon used to be a part of the earth" is this the Evolution Theory you are talking about>>>>>>>> NAscarfan

"the giant impact hypothesis that has been considered a more viable scientific hypothesis for the moon's origin in that it may have been part of our earth"

due to my recent involvement with assisting with my 11 year old daughter with a school project/research assignment about the Moon.
It is one of the many possibilities put forward on the origins of our Moon.
It's not meant to involve any religious theory.
