made me a coin garden and i am having trouble finding my coins they are about 5 inches deep
and i cant hardly pick them up ,i am using advanced,fast deep,normal filter,-10 iron mask
if i didnt know they were there i couldnt find them any imput would be helpfull,ps i havent ever
found anything deep it is the same on factory presets also
 
Try using manual sens. instead of semi-auto, around 24 to start, but dont worry to much about not finding the freshly burried coins, for the simple reason there is no haylo around the coins, they need to be in the ground a while to produce a haylo, the haylo is the reason the detecter can pick up such deep coins, in my oppinion 2 to 3 inches is about it on a fresh coin, much over that and the detec. cant see them. keep swinging and they will come,,, but swing slooowwwwww.....
 
It breaks up and sputters, but it can see that something is there! That is in nice rich black dirt though. 9" and it is rock solid!
 
Have you lowered your threshold level from factory preset of 10 down to 7?
Are you swinging the coil so slow that a turtle could pass the coil up?
Are you scrubbing the coil on the ground with no air space?
What is your gain set at? Try 6-10. Factroy at 5 will pick them up fine, you just have to be in tune with your Explorer to catch those whispers in the field.
Are they a measured 5"? "About" could be a lot deeper than you think they are. A freshly buried coin has no halo like Geo said, but you should be able to get a dime at 5" with no problem. Coins that have been buried for years do sound better than freshly buried ones!
 
Well I can see I'm not the only one with this problem!!!
 
Ric., Then I need to definatly send my XS back, Cause it is a piece of crap, I cant get a quarter at a messured 4 inches, but neither could my buddy with his XLT.
 
That in some places I hunt I seriously doubt I could get a fresh buried quarter at 7"-8". This is in awesome ground. Nice loamy black soil where I did that. I was testing the X-12 against the stock coil and decided to take it there because the soil is so nice. I can run 32 manual sens there. All the coins left at that spot are super deep. I bet an XLT could find an 8-10" coin there. At a measured 12" the quarter was a nasty iron like hit that I probably would not have dug, but it knew something was there, and like I said, it was a rock solid quarter hit at 9". Ken was there, he saw it also.
