Do they lose depth?

Hey guys just wondering how much depth you lose in actual soil because as of right now Im pretty impressed with the depth on my 1350 with a dime hitn solid at 10.5-11", and my ace 250 hitn at 7.5-8" on a dime. How much of this impressive depth am I losing in the ground? Thanks

It depends on the type of soil and conditions like moisture content.

Agreed, it depends on soil conditions, I know I don't get as much out of my minelab in Arizona as I do in Northern Wi, where the soil isn't as compact & is wetter.

Im in southern Missouri where there seems to be more rocks than soil. So will your actual depth always be a little less than what the air test will show?

It seems mineralization can reduce depth 40% or so. Rocky and hilly ground usually has mineralization. An Ace 250, like many other detectors will ID down to about 4" in my soil. HH, George (MN)

Is it better or worse in wet or dry soil?
