[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 402548, member: 8209"] X terra gold. I think with all detectors it comes down to the piece of gold. When I had my sdc I certainly dug a few deep junk signals - but can't remember depths exactly. Recently however I found a 9 gram piece with the Z that was over a foot deep. A mate (forum member Elusive) was with me and we used his sdc to pinpoint it so I didn't have to dig a massive hole. We almost gave it away thinking it was ground noise with the Z because the sdc didn't pick it up until it was within 5-6 inches. That's a 9 gram, flat, big surface area nugget. On my sdc training day a few years ago the training bloke reckoned the sdc would not go deeper than about 50 cm even on a multi ounce nugget. Unfortunately I never found a multi ounce nugget to test his hypothesis...or maybe he was right because I never did :o Whatever the depth, it is still a great machine for finding many types of gold pieces that other machines miss :Y: [/QUOTE]
