I did this experiment about a year ago.
I check the ground with my MXT to find a spot with no iron or metal in the ground.
I dug a small hole and put a silver dime in the wall of the hole at four inches deep. I then covered up the hole.
I got my Garrett GTP 1350 and swung it over the coin. It would not detect it. I tried various setting, but no luck. That was with the standard coil. I also tried with sniper coil and could not locate it.
Next I use my MXT with the standard coil and would not find it.
I tried all modes with no discrimation. I also tried the shooter and 6x10 DD eclipse coil and could not locate the coin.
Next I tried the ACE 250 and it hit on it loud and clear.
Then I tried with the Coinstrike and it also hit good on it.
My question is why did the ACE 250 and Coinstrike hit on it and not the other two detectors? I would appreciate you input.
I would like to add that all detectors have hit on a dime at 6
