  1. The Garrett 24k max depth on a dime is about 7" and hits very soft. I did try one and it's best suited for gold nuggets.

    Nokta Gold Racer is better for nuggets, relics and coin hunting. I haven't tested the depth on this detector. It is quiet and seems a little deeper than the Gold Kruzer. It can use Nel coils too. It's not waterproof.

    Also the Nokta Gold Kruzer is a good gold, relic & coin hunter too. It will hit a dime at 8" to 9" and is waterproof. The Gold Kruzer is a little noisy with the the sensitivity turned high. It will hit a small gold ring at 11" in the sand.

  2. If there is large iron underground and a coin off to side on top. You will not hear the coin. It's strange. The  large iron overpowers the coin signal. 

    I was just testing that with the Legend. Using a very large nail (1/4" in dia) standing straight up with coin about 2" above and 2" to the left. There is no sound. Move the coin over the nail and it hits the coin.

    We have a huge amount of nonferrous targets masked with iron. According to Nasa Tom about 5% of nonferrous is found in iron. The rest all masked.
