dimes deeper than 10"

Quote

Are there any detectors that can detect a dime deeper than 10" with a standard coil for example an 11" coil with nails disc'ed. In disc mode or all metal mode with iron audio. There are only 3 detectors I know of that have all metal with iron audio.

And I know the OP was asking specifically about a stock 11" coil size, but I would add: The Sov with Wot combo can probably get a dime to 14" or so WHILE retaining iron disc, and a fair idea of conductivity (ie.; high vs low). On most other machines, when you increase up to that Wot sized coil, all your'e doing is adding more coverage, not more depth (for coin sized targets). But for some strange reason, the Sov/Wot combo seems to defy that law of diminishing returns. However, it's a warbly beast to use that way. And will take some getting used to. And perhaps only applicable for beaches or wide open field-type places.

Just one more good target before I go.
