coins...how deep?

Bells and whistles can give a definite edge in some situations but at times it can be an awful lot of information to try to process and sift through as to whether to make a decision to dig.........I own an MXT and to me its a great machine to use for coinshooting and discriminatining out lots of trash.....The deepest coin I have found with the MXT was a quarter at 10 inches.......I prefer the MXT when hunting parks,athletic fields etc..........Then comes relic hunting which is my true love in this hobby......When I'm hitting the corn fields that have been cultivated for over 300 yrs,cellar holes 5 miles out in the middle of nowhere and going for some serious depth and working strictly by tone as to whether or not I dig its the Tesoro Tejon that I take along........ The Tejon has yielded copper English halfpence in excess of 14 inches,lead musket balls at well over 12inches and God forbid you latch onto an ox-shoe because you could be digging for nearly two feet.......Its all about the where you are digging and what you are hopeing to find as to the bast machine to use......
 
I have to point out that coins do not sink into the ground forever. An object will sink until the density of the surrounding material equals or exceeds the density of the object.

This could happen at four inche or it cold happen at 8 inches, buy the determining factor is the density of the surrounding material be it dirt, sand etc..
