Got it in 3 Tone mode not that deep at all, maybe 6". Its worn and hit down at "79". Site has been hit so hard though by me and many others--with some very modern machines. Really all about coil control (acquiring targets) and taking a second to verify your signals with this machine. This is an old site that's produced Victorian stuff too--have a sense that with the Racer 2 it's wide open---just have to keep learning and not be intimidated my the masses of (truck grove--no less!) iron. Got a Victorian half and an 1870 dime near where this one came out--I know there's more. One thing that Ty Brook taught me (in his book and our correspondence) is that when you know it's there--the ball's in your court--keep trying.

It's great in the iron, CC, it's like the worst sites are now the best.

I call em like I see em. The stuff I'm finding with it is coming from right at my doorstep--places that don't even merit a "quick try" anymore.
