Is Depth All That Matters?

[Joe D.]

    You all have given a variety of opinion's on a few different threads now! And obviously, on the surface, (to, i think,  mostly newer people to the hobby), it looks like a relatively easy question to answer; like so many others that have been asked!

    But obviously there are so many variables for depth, (not to mention local restrictions,) etc.. to give a "one size fits all answer"! 

  Anyone who has put any serious time into reading books, forums, blogs, and field time, etc...  to learn; i think, understand's what a monumental question " How deep can it go?" Is! 

 I would almost compare it to that "wonderful" question!!: What can you, or what did you find with that thing??🤣😂👍👍

And this will be my first comment in this Forum...

Hi everyone!

Its a pleasure to be here! Finally i took the step to create an account haha.

Steve, YOU ARE A LEGEND! 

Well, I'm from Europe, and believe me, back here most of us look for depth...

But I must admit, depth isn't everything when we hit those hot spots like  Roman,  Medieval and Ancient areas... Lots of "polluted" patches, when i say "polluted" I'm referring to iron, "slag rocks" from when Romans used to work with iron... Most of these areas have a really dark soil and its full of pottery fragments...

The problem nowadays is that there's lots of new Detectorists... And mostly don't even know alot about metal detectors, coil types, frequencies etc (after 3 years, I'm still learning). 

 

Sorry for my English

After setting back reading all of the post, no doubt location is the deciding factor if depth is important. I've been searching (for deep) several years now and found one that meets my needs.........Now to put it to use. ☠️

No I ended up selling the little 8 inch I had for the Garrett Infinium, now hoping to see one from Fisher maybe by Winter?
