[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 4508181, member: 44615"]The new detector I'm currently using has a metal ID and depth ID. The numbers mean different coins. So when I see a 27 with 3 arrows pointing downward I know it is a Copper about 6 inches deep. Each arrow represents 2 inches. In all the Wheat Cent finds they were all 27 and 3 to 4 arrows down meaning 6 to 8 inches. Silver was coming up between 30 and 33 with 4 to 5 arrows = 8 to 10 inches. Wheat were harder to spot and dig out because they are dark in color like the soil. Silver pops out nice and bright as if they were just buried even though they have been that deep for decades.[/QUOTE]
