I have been told that the "thunk" at the end of a signal indicates that the target is at the end of the depth range that the machine is able to read in that soil and configuration...I have tested my detector by lifting the coil over targets and was able to reproduce the sound, so it may be correct....
anyone else???

I have inquired as well, and was told by several members it was the sound of a coin on edge.
I can tell you I have dug many coins and silver coins on edge, including a walking liberty that was on-edge and IT DID NOT THUMP, and was no-where near the end of detecting depth.
So, I am guessing maybe it is picking up on something deeper???
Why the Minelab manual does not indicate this...I have no idea.

Whenever I get the kerthunk type sound, it produces a good number on the screen, but the signals is very short, just a quick kerthunk type and in my experience it has been two things, either a very deep coin, or more times than not a coin that is straight up and down on edge
