I talked with a friend who has more experience using metal detectors and he said that there are some that can reach even 25 feet into the ground. This one was just a cheap, $50 one. You're supposed to move it side-to-side, but even then it had a lot of trouble picking up the coin. Maybe it just needed to be bigger, but I think the main thing was that it was cheap.
