What's the deepest that you've recovered clad?

[Flapjack]

The deepest that I've ever dug clad is about 5" to 6". At this depth I always think that it'll be a keeper!

Clad dime, measured at 10.5", have dug several coins at 6-8", vaquero w/ stock coil..

 

[Joel-Winnipeg]

Average clad 3 to 5 inches or less
Silver older coins 5 to 6 inches
On the sandy beaches up to 8 to10 inches

I dug a quarter, measured firmly still embedded/undisturbed at the bottom of the hole, at 14", with an Excaliber, with 10" coil, in the all-metal mode. In disc, I could get a quarter to about a foot. It would be hard to replicate that depth on land though, as TID's obviously suffer at those depths (you're doing good at a ft., just to tell conductive verses iron, and beyond a foot, just to tell there's a target at all). I've heard that guys with the Sov/Wot setup on the beach, have reported depths of 1-1/2 ft. on pennies, etc... in DISC mode. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself (a guy accurately "calling" a zinc penny at about 1.5 ft. deep). But again, this would only be for wide-open clean beach, IMHO.

Other times I've eyeballed barber dimes etc... right on top of the sand after beach storm erosion

On very damp beaches in Florida have gotten sevral pennies and dimes, few silver rings at 18"(course a lotta junk too) with Detector Pro-Wader and Land Pro models (2.4 frequency)

8" on a $.50 on a football field. I still wonder how it got that deep as the field was built in the 70's. Could it have been there when they brought in the fill dirt? Most finds are around 4" and under there.

Took a trip to Corpus Christi TX one time and had at that point never beach hunted. I had to go back into town to buy a shovel because the Explorer was hitting pennies 18 inches + deep. Most of my land finds have been 8 inches or less on clad.

quarter at a measured 14" thru sand/clay using a wader with 8" coil

I have recovered coins from one park 12 to 14 inchs. But I think the reason for that is part of the park floods and they use some heavy equiptment in there to clean up the trash at times.HH

7-8 inches on land...15 inches on wet salt sand beaches....one wonders how deep silver goes on land judging by some deep clad being dug...
