1976 Memorial Penny found about 10 foot down. I had to find a set of keys that were thought lost in this hole they were digging for a basement. I found the keys too.

I know this isn't want you want, but it is my deepest.

My jaw drop when I saw 10 Foot!! Then I read the rest of it.

Sandman,
I narrowed it down to the Minelab Sov or the Tesoro Tejón.

Walking Liberty Half Dollar at a Church yard buried in a ditch near the roadway. The depth was near 12 inches. It was lying perfectly flat to the surface in sandy soil. I was using a White's Di Pro 6000 SL at the time. Would have been around 1989.

1880 silver dollar at a measured 11", was using a CZ 6a. Had a good hit and dug into a pre dug hole that was loose dirt to 8 inches then undug hard dirt, looked down into the deep hole and saw the reeded edge of that beautiful big coin sticking out at the bottom. Appears my hunting buddy gave up thinking it was a deep can.

Unmeasured, I'd say a nice and orangy clad dime I dug a few weeks ago with my XS, 8 inches.

1920 standing liberty quarter at 10in. with my MXT in DRY, HARD, soil.
very solid .25cent ID on the display. but the depth reading said 8 inches. the depth of the items i find are almost always close to 2 inches deeper than what the meter says. if it says 1in. the coin will be closer to 3in.
i guess i would say its a good thing.
