I couldn't believe it til I actually saw it. I have been a die hard Minelab Explorer guy since 2003 and he found some bullets and asked me to see if I could find them with my SE. He marked off an area about 6' square and told me to find it. I set my machine a bunch of different ways but could not hear that bullet to save my life! He then dug the bullet up pulling the dirt out a little at a time. He was down over a foot and I was thinking to myself that there's no way that bullets down that deep. He then exposed a minie ball still stuck in the hard dry packed dirt at about 16"s deep. I couldn't believe it!! 
Then he dug some more at similar depths. Needless to say I now have two 6000 PRO XL machines. 
The trick is that these deep bullets don't give a normal tone or ID on the meter, they merely just barely break the threshold tone and the needle barely floats away from iron. I now am faced with the challenge of training my ear to hear those faint changes in threshold while watching the needle.

Iam running xlt e mix mode voc on and it kind of like listening to prospecting mode on mxt you here a peak in threshold as soon as you go over something deep but some is to deep for the machine to identify so iam trying to work that out so i don't dig a bunch of junk sometimes you catch a tone and then it draws your attention.
