What kind of detector do you use and deepest target you recovered with it??

[Frankn]

I use to have a Whites 500XC two box detector that was good for app 12', but it would not pick up anything that was smaller than 6". I bought it used for $50 and rebuilt it. Had to convert it over to use modern batteries with a slight boost in voltage. Sad to say,I lost it in a fire. Would love to find another.

In the past: Explorer XS 25c @ 7"; Whites MXT 25c @ 7"; Whites CM4 disc shield nickel 7".

Current detectors: Minelab XT70 5c @ 5"; Fisher F70 copper mem c 5.25". HH, George (MN)

Heres a detectorist that knows how to read a ruler.

I recovered a 1903 V nickel at around 8" with my Ace 250 on my second or third hunt ever.

No pinpointer. You must of mist it.... and nock it in the hole ....seen that before....

This is mainly for informative information and bragging rights! What kind of detector do you use and deepest target you recovered with it??

Used a White's MXT to check behind a dredgers tailing pile, at 16" found a sliver of gold and a copper 22 cal. bullet.

I detected a worked out park with the DFX and dug a silver dime at 10 inches and I worked this park pretty good. When I got the E-Trac I went back to the same park and dug a few Indian Head cents and wheat's at 12 inches. A another park I went over the same area that I used the DFX on and dug a few Indian Head cents and the deepest one was over 12 inches with the E-Trac. I Sweep the E-Trac just as fast as I do the DFX and haven't noticed any difference as far sweep speed go's.

I use a Garrett GTA 500, with the stock 8" coil. Last year I purchased an 8" eliptical that Garrett was kind enough to wire for my GTA.

I do not keep track of junk depths, but the deepest coin was an Indian nickel @ indicated 6". The signal was just a whisper.

FYI - the eliptical seems to perform the same as the stock round one.
