President’s Message

Another year is over and gone, and this is my last presi-dents message, for the third time. I would like to thank all the members for their support, or at least their tolerance of myself. I personally thought we had a pretty good year as far as a club goes, and if the last year wasn't up to your expecta-tions, you know what you have to do. Run for a officer, be-come a member at large, or at the very least, get involved and make the changes for the better. For three different years I've always tried to tell you all, it's your club, make it whatever you want. I wish the new presidency the very best and make a good club into a great club. I have full faith that they can do it es-pecially with your help and support. And to all our members, have a fantastic 2015 and I hope each and everyone of you all find the mother-lode.

How Deep Do Metal Detectors Go?

The answer depends on two things: the detector circuitry/coil design and environmental factors. A

beginner's model may not have the bells and whistles of the more professional models, but it will be

easier to use. Some detectors designed for ultimate depth may be too sensitive to use in trashy are-

as. Coil size will affect the depth of the metal detector but may not be suited for a particular type of

hunting. Environmental factors to take into consideration include the size and shape of the target,

soil conditions, orientation of the target in the ground, content of the target, and any outside interfer-

ence, such as electrical wires and radio or cell phone traffic. Weather conditions such as rain-

soaked ground, may also play a part in the depth and sensitivity of any detector.

An average metal detector using a stock coil in moderate ground should see the following targets

with these ranges:

Dime to nickel: 4 to 8 inches

Quarter to half dollar: 6 to 12 inches

Dollar to fruit jar lid:

8 to 16 inches

Knowing your metal detector and using it properly are the two most important things that you can do

to get the best depth and sensitivity out of any machine. Do not under estimate the importance of

reading and understanding your detectors' Owners Manual!
