Of all the detectors I've seen the Nautilus DMC IIb with the 15 inch coil is the deepest in the mild ground here, but with same size coils the Cointrax v2.2 with Deepsearch mode turned on will match it, or might even have a slight edge. After the Tejon was released three of the guys I hunted with occasionally bought one. One of them didn't keep his Tejon long but the other two claimed they were deeper than the Nautilus. I hunted alongside one of them with the A&S using the 8 inch coil and every deep signal either of us got we checked it with both detectors. We never checked a target that both couldn't get, but the A&S gave louder signals, ignored the hot rocks that gave that Tejon fits and with the iron reject turned on it rejected iron the Tejon wouldn't reject with disc set to reject the older style beaver tail pulltabs. The other guy had used a Nautilus briefly and was adamant that his Tejon was deeper, and way deeper than the Barons. I offered to bet him detector against detector that his Tejon couldn't see everything the Baron could with the Deepsearch mode turned on, but he had seen how deep the original Cointrax got some coins and Civil War bullets and wouldn't make the bet. I wouldn't have took his detector but I kinda wish he would have took me up on it

I used the Deepsearch mode with the 10 inch coil briefly this afternoon. That combination will flat get deep, but the place I was hunting had too much close together junk so I turned DS off after I dug the two pieces of crap in the photo. The ring is brass, about the same diameter as a silver dollar, and the other thing is a piece of 3/8 inch copper tubing with a flared end. Both were out of range of the standard disc mode, and could have been goodies instead of junk
