In my test garden in my front yard I have three targets buried at 12". A silver quarter, a clad quarter on edge, and a 72 caliber lead musket ball. The F-75 will hit all three on most days; the drier the soil the less sure, but I can usually tune it to hit all three. Now, that does not mean that a similar signal where I didn't know what was there would get me on my knees and digging, but if I was where there might be old silver it's usually enough that I would stop and dig. I have dug dimes and cents at 8" in the wild and nickels at 7" and 8" and that beats my Minelab hands down. I dig a LOT more dimes and nickels than I ever did prior to the F-75 and in the same town park where I have hunted for years.
I have not yet dug a coin at 12" in a hunting situation but am confident I could. I had a hit that turned out to be a 1" piece of twisted aluminum ground wire at 16" in the sand of a tot-lot and that is my deep record to date. That's pretty darned deep for a small target!
