15 inches. 73 penny. Under rotten asphalt too! Used a Tesoro Cibola super tuned and no disc.
 

Nice find

My deepest was my avatar which I found on the grouds of a closed church at about 12 inches with my Ace 250.

I found a CW artillery shell at 28 inches give or take and inch, with my E-trac.

DAMN guy! How big was the shell?
 

I found a KG at 11 inches and a CW cuff button at 9.
 

Old tin pie-plate: 18"

My almost-proudest was a dime at 10" (measured) beside a river in the mud - a *&$%# 1996 Roosevelt! :BangHead: I could not believe it and invented some new detecting jargon on the spot. This was in a an area that floods and must have silted in. Grrrrr.

Not too far away I found an Indian Cent that was on the surface - caught on a section of flat shale and the obverse worn to smooth. You just never know.
 

My deepest was also a pie tin at close to 2 feet. I was hoping there was a cache under it, but nothing. My deepest keeper was probably a wheat at about 10-11 inches.
 

Well, I don't dig license plates, but I did get a Merc at about 11" with my Golden Sabre. Barely a whisper, but a score.
 

Iron cannon at over four feet on a fairly stripped beach using a Deepstar P.I. Found another cannon at a later date nearer the low water mark and just couldn't dig it out in time due to tide and sand backfilling the hole. Made shuttering and will have another go at the lowest tides of the year though this year there's around three feet more sand than there was at the time.
 

I would say 12 oz Cone Top beer cans at 3 to 3 1/2 feet.
Don't remember anything deeper I Actually Pulled out to ID

Heres a picture. It was just a wisper but there was a lot of artillery action so I dug it.

found a gigantic RR lock - brass -dated 1864
was down bout 2 feet - 2 other guys with me saw I had arm in hole
up to my elbow and said "give up" "its gotta be a deep piece of iron"
I told them -" i see nice patina green "
they almost sh#t when they saw it come out
 

Probably 10" to 12" on a stand coin..But I will be honest , Just like Casper said above, I have QUIT on some targets and covered the hole back up because I was scared of hitting a gas line or other utilities...
 

This 1906 San Francisco vehicle license was down about 13 inches in S.F. park!
