i have noticed that bigger silver like morgan dollars have a low fe-1 and co 49 it seems that older silver is all low fe, are you noticing this too?
 
stack 4 or 5 of those Morgans and see what it reads.

Most targets are 3-5 inches deep around here. Do you have clay with rocks or if you hunt hillsides or hilltops? If you do most stuff will not be that deep. I go to my hometown in SW GA where the soil is sandy and I find zinc stinkin' lincolns at 8- 10 inches.... The sink rate is different in different soils.

Make sure you are using to much sens.I run in auto plus 3 99% of the time .The computer knows best :) Other than that you just need to get the coil over a deep coin.Try to bury some coins 8 or 9 inches down and test them.Good Luck..HH
 
The problem is that freshly buried coins won't read the same or as deeply as as "seasoned" coins will. All coins develop a halo around them over time in the ground.
 
There is no doubt that you are generally correct, however, I have found many items at depth that read just like a bench test (my soil is pretty mild).

Regardless, I find that having a general baseline in the form of bench tests can be very helpful in getting to know the machine and provides a starting point concerning brain-based TID.
