I got permission to hunt the church grounds where there had once been a missionary school years back. I was swinging my 6" DD Excelerator coil and it was definitely doing its job. 95% of the targets were down between 4" to 6" and a few were down about 8". And for the skeptics the deep targets were not read off the detectors depth display either. I normally just guess the depth of a dug target by using my coin popper which is 8" long with a 5" handle for reference, but since some skeptics have been questioning depths on some of the posts here recently I thought I would use a tape and measure the deeper targets just for the heck of it. It was funny that between my guess and the tapes measurement I was pretty close with my guess..I really don't think a person needs to defend his reported depths on this forum anyway. If someone says they dug a 14" target using a with such and such coil so be it. There are a lot of variables anyway in a coils ability to detect deep targets so its really no big deal. Well anyway back to my hunt, I found a lot of clad and the oldest coin recovered was a 1954 nickel. Well thanks for looking and listening. Happy Hunting. Dennis in Idaho
