Depth of a dime
- Thread starter jackintexas
- Start date
I only have an Exp. II (not the Etrac), but on my Exp. II, I have gone 11" on a dime, with the stock 10.5" coil. But that was on damp wet non-mineralized sand, chasing insane deep whispers. So faint that TID was not possible, and it was all I could do just to discern a target was there causing a flutter on the threshold. A quarter to about 12 or 13" chasing flutters like that on the beach.
But if you meant a signal to where the user is getting some semblence of TID judgement, then perhaps 9" on a dime (for the Exp. II anyhow, but I'm presuming the depth on each is about the same)

Thanks guys. New to E-Trac. Been detecting 35 years. Just curious what was the deepest target that you would dig....Jack

Yep - got a solid signal on a 1959 Silver Rosie Dime in pretty hard dirt near a tennis court at a measured 9".
Dug a FE 12 -- CO 46 signal ( that had a little bounce) at a measured 17" on a beach in Maine last summer - turned out to be a late 1800's early 1900's brass padlock.

With the SERF 10x12 coil, while digging anything that hit the 12 30-50 area I got a signal that hit 60% of the time at the penny range. So I dug it to see. I found it more than 9 inches...use my shovel marks to measure. The Grass was fairly high too like 2 inches. It turned out to me a mercury dime 1941.
Now I also hunt with a 14inch excellorator coil...and I get down deeper with it but I have to be in an area where coins are that deep.
good luck
