Cibola Depth

[Rockym]

Hello all, this is my first post here. I recently bought a Cibola off Ebay for my wife. When I do an air test the most "depth" I can get is about 7" no matter how I tune it. This is on silver, nickel, and copper coins (not clad). My Tejon airtests WAY deeper. I can't test in the ground due to frozen conditions. If this is normal ok, if not I don't mind paying to get it fixed, the machine is in mint condition. Any ideas?

glad to see you join up with TQ...there will be people here that can help you on that...i'm sure. I'm not sure about that machine, but when your on the ground there's a differents between holding it up in the air, mine don't have great distance in the air but on the groung it sure does...but anyway somebody with more experiance will problably help you, welcome aboard and good hunting...

Thanks for the quick resonse guys. While I'm not much of a beach hunter I think I'll try the Cibola at the beach tommorow as its the only non frozen ground remotely near me. If I don't like it, back on Ebay it goes and I'll have to teach the wife how to turn knobs! I been thinking of a Nautilus IIba as a back up anyway! Thanks again.
