How deep have you dug for a coin? Not including places where fill has been obviously placed, but how deep have you seen a coin sink "on its own" in just plain soil?

.... 14"+ regularly with 17" CTX coil in wet sand at Atlantic beaches. ....
Although I'm not a CTX user, yet I got to play around with one, using that giant coil. And you're right: Coins at well over a foot are an easy air test for the CTX + monster coil. However, it comes with all the inherent drawbacks of larger coils: Eg.: warbly performance, fishy pinpointing, masking, etc... But for wide open beaches, yes, will get every-bit-of-that depth......
I won’t blame you for not believing this. I barely do and I was there but it’s true.
When I started I had an Ace 250.
I was hunting the dry sand at the beach and got a solid dime signal. I dug and dug and when I hit 18” I stopped and filled in the hole and moved on. Had to be some kind of anomaly because even I knew an Ace 250 didn’t go that deep.
An hour later I was back and the signal was still there. The shovel I was using is 27” long and when I finally found that dime only about 4 inches of it was outside of the hole.
Even worse the dime was only 4 years old and was that deep.
