Wow. Those are nice finds. Finding 2 R1 coins doesn't happen often. Where did you go hunting? Was this with the machine of yours that is being modified

I just find it so hard to believe that you found and dug something at 80cm. It goes against everything we all know. Please take a photo of the hole next time

Will do Paul what is the average depth that the detectors goes down and I did not believe it to but it has surprised me the guy who build it for me used to deal with electronic  things he has his own company so he really knows what he doing

The average depth that even the best detectors can go down to is MAYBE 40cm. That is why it is so hard to believe that you can detect to 80cm, let alone dig a hole 80cm deep. How did you manage that in a public park anyway? You are going to be thrown out soon for digging holes that deep

Hahaha the park I went to has not been used for a very long time and with the help of your brother it is possible really going to make a video next time to clear all this disbelief only thing that  was hard was pinpointing as it does not have it build in

A video would silence any criticism.

Will do Paul maybe do a depth experiment at home where you can see how deep I put a coin and how deep it picks the signal up

I can tell you one thing.....I will never want to dig 80cm holes. Digging 10cm holes is hard enough in the soil I have here

Yip Paul, you right about that.With our soil here, if we had to dig 80cm we would have to get a new spade for each hole.LOL
