What vdi numbers will be produced on us coins?

 

[captnkirk]

Anything over 40 and I can usually count on a coin. 40~45; Penny; 45~48 Dime; over that usually Silver. Gold and Nickel usually much lower. 26 and solid is ALways Nickel and Gold can be from the teens to low 30's. I.E. DIG ALL GOOD SOUNDING TARGETS THAT ARE A SOLID SOUND. You'll amass a great collection on pulltabs and "can Slaw", but that's where the Gold lives.

quarter--usually about 50
half dollar--usually about 54
president and Sacajawea dollar--about 50
I have a small nugget that shows 5

I find 42-43 are zinc, 44-46 copper penny or 46-47 dimes (clad or silver) 50-51 quarters and 25-27 nickels. That covers the parameters that I’ve experienced.

Be mindful that Cents & Nickels can be a good bit lower if corroded or deep. I have dug lots of them with the Legend in bad shape from 100+ years in boggy ground. Cents down to 36 & Nickels down to 20.
Silver can drop a little too, but not as much.

I've found a lot of zincs down as low as 36-37 that are heavily corroded. Nickels 25 to 27. I think if NM was going with a larger(100) digit scale Dilek would have mentioned it.

I ordered the Pro pack, so I should get the smaller coil also Yeah. What kind of depth are you getting with the smaller coil on the Legend ?

 

[captnkirk]

Civil War era General Service Button 9/16" @ 8+ inches with small coil.

1902 Indian Head in very good soil at 11”

Very good depth. I've found both a Lincoln cent and a dime at 8".

Dilek says
he ID scale cannot be updates just through a software update....more complicated than that.

 

[captnkirk]

Small coil is awesome!! It will go at least 8~10" on Penny's.

I haven't used my Legend but once, is it safe to say that the VDI on the Legend will be (on average) about half of what you would see on the simplex?

I pulled a nickel at about 6" that showed 33 on vdi
