I was hunting at the old football here in town with my buddy Jim right after I traded him a detector, a RS 3300 I think, and he called me over to check a hole he had dug to see if I could get a signal. He said when he first got the signal it was really strong, like a coin on top of the ground, but the deeper he dug the weaker the signal got and he had reached a point where he couldn't get a signal at all. He had about a 6 inch diameter hole dug that was at least a foot deep if not deeper, but instead of checking to see if I could get a signal I used my trowel to scrape around the sides of the hole and then scooped the dirt out. There was a shiny zinc penny in the dirt, it had turned on edge and kept sliding down the side of the hole as he dug deeper until it got out of range of his detector. It's likely that some of the super deep coins posted on the forums did just as Jim's zinc penny did, they slid down the hole as it got deeper.
