7" on a dime. Tad deeper on a quarter.

More or less depending on soil conditions and your ground balance practices.

You are referring to the 5" coil and DP mode = delta pitch tone? or are you referring to BP boost process or DE default mode?

The 5” coil I’m trying to do deeper in trashy area and I was hoping the DP mode would go to 10” without any interference. Not sure if that’s possible.

Typically a coil will go as deep as it is long (or wide if concentric) on small targets. I have found the F75 to do a bit better. Larger targets = deeper hits.

You might get 18" on a pie plate.

As stated it depends on your soil and conditions.
I have found that rule about depth related to size if the coil is somewhat true on the bigger coils, I have gone way beyond that with small sniper coils on several different detectors.

In the great soil in Kansas and Missouri I could easily get to the 10"area on my F70 using all kinds of tone choices in disc.
I got a few depth readings from 12" up to 14" a couple of times out there but never dug them.

Here in my difficult soil in the SE. I have dug a few coins up to the 8-9" so far with that same round coil but most of my targets usually don't hang out much deeper than 5-6".

That 5" coil is like a lazer in between junk/iron, and in DP/ Delta Pitch that F-75 Powerhouse well speak a sweet language to you.. depth wise i get around what Charlie gets here in N.Y. too..
100 tones first 15 look at the # higher low grunts = axe,chisels/larger iron...dig anything that sounds any higher and "RIM" when the ground is clean enough.
The higher #s very high 90s most likly big,round or thick iron,but dig it`s sometimes it a treasure.

Long or wide? Charlie............10x5 DD?

I normally use the 5" DD in trashy areas and run in FA process. I might lose a little depth, but get the best target separation.

Ya i liked using FA process and DP tones together in the heavy iron speaks to me .
The FA process is very sensitive to EMI near the road it picks up the the power lines slight sound of eggs frying in the background but still able to hunt,some electric fences around here, i have to be a football field away with both 75 and T2 just in FA .

I used this set up today in a very trashy part off the park and found that Confederate cuff link today. I’m gonna try that FA mode soon.

I would recommend you set no notches at all and discriminate only to 7 or so for iron.

Use the readings to rule-out crap. Gold jewelry will hit around where the pulltabs do.

True I did get a lot of deep iron nails. Thanks Charlie
