[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 486406, member: 13321"] Yes, I had wondered about that at Kingower a while back with the 5000. I only found lead .22 bullet heads and a 1cm lead ball but it had had a bit of rain up there and the ground was damp. I noticed I had found my junk much deeper than all my other previous junk, but I was using a larger mono for the first time and had a better understanding of the required settings compared to my earlier outings so didn't think there was enough evidence to put it down to any one thing. But I have read elsewhere where people swear that damp soil gives more depth. Great testing Candigger, I guess that's the only way we really get to know our machines and their capabilities. It's also a little scary that there are so many variables, to think that you could potentially flog an area to nugget signal silence, only to go back when the soil is wet to get another 4" depth with the same coil and set-up. Oh, but then of course there is EMI, weather, temperature...... I guess in the end that's what gives us all hope, is the knowing that there are still deeper lurkers out there :goldnugget: [/QUOTE]
