You might want to ask this question at www.dfxonly.com. Many things to take into consideration but the main "depth" setting controls are Preamp and AC Sensitivity. Ground mineralization, EMI interference, Frequency setting, Filter setting, could also effect your depth. "Digging Deeper with the DFX" by Jeff Foster is an excellent resource on all aspects of the DFX and also for learning about ground mineralization and how it impacts metal detecting.
