Welcome aboard John !
I'm guessing your budget is around the 540 price ?
Stepping into a PI could be a bit more.
If you've never detected before , learning what the machine is telling you is job #1 .
what do you recommend for around 3-4 ft depth I can invest -

If you want to know if it even has a chance put a couple of soda cans on the ground and see how far away you can get and still detect them. Then take off 20% to allow for the ground. A pulse induction machine will get that deep on targets that big.
Going by that test it will not have any trouble at all at depth of 3 ft deep

I buried some aluminum bars at 1.5 ft turned sensitivity to halfway and it detected them at a reading of 26…so hoping since the gold/silver are larger it would detect a little deeper.

My wife inherited some land from her grandfather. It is told he buried 4- 1kilo size gold bars (size of iPhone plus) and 4 silver bars on the property. Would a vanquish 540 pick it up? If buried all together 2-3 feet underground? And what do you think the readout number would be?
Vanquish 540 Gold?

I have read the silver bars would pick up better than gold.? Would be 4 gold and 4 silver placed together thoughts?
