X TERRA 50 depth question.

[TerryETex]

For anybody who uses the 50 or used one in the past. What would you say is about the maximum depth of any of your finds that I can expect to get with mine. I have good soil to detect in. Thanks

This depends on the soil, trash content, the size of the target and the coil your going to use ...... 0 - 14 inches (+/- 5 inches).

 

[TerryETex]

The soil is light mineralization, very little trash, target size will be coin sizes and I'll be using the 9" concentric coil.

I would expect somewhere in the 8-10" range.

 

[BH_Landstar_]

I'd say 0 - 12" range based on that. The deeper the object, the harder it is to detect it with any metal detector (coil dependent).

 

[TerryETex]

Thanks folks. I really needed to know what to expect.

 

[surfchunker]

size matters .... a lot depends on how big the coin is, pennies around 6" give or take a little, quarters and half dollars 8-9" and that is with good conditions, dry hard soil with some trash less, good damp loose ground with no trash maybe a little more

 

[TerryETex]

Thank you for the advice. I'll keep that on the front burner. HH
