max depth on dime

What would be the max depth on a dime you would be able to say without a doubt you would get a solid repeatable signal on a dime in a test garden situation? I am testing my detectors and friends in a recently dug test garden.
 
Try not to match others depths, because results will vary greatly depending on your ground, how your machine is set up, swing speed, All Metal or Discrimination Modes and many other factors. Results across the country, next state or next town will differ from what you might get. What one might consider a solid repeatable signal, another might hear a junky signal on the same dime.
 
Silver or clad dime? 1.5-2" better on a silver dime. 10+" inches with no outside interference on a silver dime, cranked to the max with perfect soil conditions. Possibly 12".
 
Great info Larry. Personally I've never dug a 10 inch silver dime. That's very deep on such a small thin coin. Where I live 8 inches seems to be fringe depths. Good luck on your tests.
 
i am really looking forward to getting my v-3 now. I am trading a guy my fisheer 1270 and some cash for a very lightly used one. i have trouble hitting on a 7 inch dime with my tesoro but can get almost 9 out of a copper penny.
