  3. Hunts with the V3i

    So the last couple of days I've been going to some extremely hunted parks, mainly because my favorite parks are loaded with homeless and drugged out people sleeping everywhere. I've been trying to change my settings to improve my finds but keep going back to what I started with. Some people ask...

  9. Nothing but Clad until?

    Was working one of our older parks where I've found a lot of older coins, after 2 1/2 hours of no deep signals, just clad and no nickels. I decided to open up the nickel range a little better. Was detecting next to a big old oak tree when I got a solid 18-19 nickel signal at 5 1/2", which means...

    Took the V3i out for a couple of hours to a turn of the century race track thats's now a park. first signal was a 78-81 VDI showing 7", but was using the U13 again so knew it was probably deeper.
