    Try to find someone with a minelab in your area, those detectors go deep.

    I have an ACE250 that I know for sure will go that deep on a beer can.

    A 15" loop! If the glass has a tin top you should be able to hit that fairly easy. Dig everything, all metal mode.

    Ditto, go slow tight sweep patterns, and all metal sensitive....dig wide and dig deep.

    Use a metal probe and search with that, no need to share with anyone else!

    Where are you located? I live in West TX and have a Minelab 4000. I have found a piece of muleshoe 1" long at 2.5 feet with the 14' nugget finder eliptical coil. Be glad to help if you are close.

    a dfx with the 12" coil should be no problem I know the fisher 2 box will pick that up no problem and so should the garrett 2500 with eagle eye
