It is winter in northeast Ohio and besides the cold weather I have been dealing with a bad knee. Today, between rains, I took my Legend version 1.09 to my side yard. In the last couple of years I have found about 20 wheat pennies in a 12 foot by 12 foot area and all were 8 plus inches deep. The last detector I used in this spot was an Etrac and I believed I had everything within the depth limits of my detectors found.
Today I gridded this spot with a different angle and unbelievably, I found three more wheats and two older memorials. All were in the 9 inch deep range and all but one repeated from different angles. I do not know if I posted on this forum what a very deep coin sounds like on the Legend, but I will tell you again about my observations. They are very WEAK and most will repeat. Numbers will not always be present, but when they are, the seem slightly higher than a shallow coin. These copper pennies were in the high 40's with some low 50's numbers.
Another observation about extremely deep coins concerns the pinpoint function. It seems that a couple of these coins were barely able to be pinpointed. The pinpoint audio was very broken and staticty. I have encountered this with a couple of other detectors, most obvious was a Fisher CZ3d. It would find coins deeper than the pinpoint would work. I am not a technical person and I wish I was more able describe this better. If there is anything good about this quirk, it is nice to know how capable of finding real deep coins the Legend is. Park, multi one, sens 26. recovery 4, iron bias 4. These last two setting really seem to be the perfect combination for separation and depth.
