First, welcome to Tnet.

As for coin still in the plug and no signal, I have no idea unless you have on a ring that masks the coin. Depth is relative. You might not have dug any coins deeper than you have because they aren't there. Untill you dig a coin garden where you can test the detector for depth you won't know how deep it'll reach in the ground. You might have to swing faster or slower, lower disc. hunt in all metal, etc.

sandman thanks
as far as the dime in the plug
i tried all metal mode and no signal until i start breaking up plug
like it dispared. no ring on.
the detector is a dime mangnet
how deep should i expect this detector to in dry conditions
i know things vary.
i thought deeper than 4/12 incches

I just remembered that the 250 doesn't have adjustable ground balance. That might be why lack of depth. Time to upgrade.
