Default Bounty Hunter Depth

Does anyone know what kind of depth the Bounty Hunter Lonestar might read at? I am just curious what kind of depth I might be able to acquire with this machine!

I have not owned that particular model, but have had three different Bounty Hunter machines. With the stock coil, I was averaging 4-6 inches on most coin sized objects. Some deeper, but not many. Big iron was a different story though. I got a measured 18" on a lid off of an old oil can once, but that was the 10" coil.

They are not real deep machines, but they will get a lot of goodies, including Colonial coins, silver and good relics.

Thank you Doug. This is the range I was thinking it probably was but wanted to check!
