Hey guys. I decided to take up metal detecting as my new hobby. Can you please tell me what are the best metal detectors for gold and silver in pure soil for depth up to 5 feet? Thank you.

What BC is trying to say is that NOTHING can do what you want. Metal detectors only see inches deep. The deepest detector you can buy would be the Minelab GPZ7000. They can hit large gold nuggets deeper than anything else, but be warned; they are crazy expensive, they are very heavy, and they are complex to use and have a steep learning curve. Its not anything you want to buy for a hobby.
I know the area where there are possible caches of gold and silver hidden. I know this because they have been found few times in the past. We are talking about caches the size of a shoe box. May be not 5 feet deep but certainly deeper than 2 feet.
DhruvD,listen don,t be discouraged because I was you 25 so years ago and learned so so much since but in Florida I use many kinds of detection devices but your best bet would be An Aqua Pulse with a 15 inch coil and will easily hit targets that your talking about as I hit targets such as gold bars and small chests that,s around 2 to 3 ft. deep.But I also have a bit advantage to scan areas of interest to making sure there is gold or silver target in my search zone,but that is my secret of detection.
I get Sardine cans shovel heads, pick heads, large tin pieces at 18" to 24' easily.
Possibly deeper. just haven't got one under the coil yet. I do not see how I could miss a frosting container full of coins.
I have metal detectors with digital display numbers(Discovery 3300).
What is the number of gold nuggets? (when you swipe it above)
Thank you
