Hi all I am doing a happy dance right now, I still have the rush in my body. I decided to take my v3 to one of my old 5 acre coin sites that dates back to 1801 AD , anyway I am using the stock coin program and I get this penny bottle cap vdi and its kind of bouncing around and I saw the depth in the top right hand corner of 7 inches so I decided to dig it :thumbsup:
so I had to dig down past the blade of my leshe digging tool I measured it at 8 and a half inches down and out pops this beautiful 1892 Victorian large cent I could not believe my eyes. :hello2: and it in great shape. :icon_sunny: I took pictures after I cleaned it. the funny thing is I hit that spot two times with my old XLT and hit it with a minelab explorer 2 and nothing. so I guess I am a believer now and this detector rocks. I have only used it 3 hours and I am in the 1800s again..
I hope you like the pics and HH sniper...

The soils are kind to the Vickies in the TO area, nice shape and patina :headbang:
 
That coin is in great condition sniper I have one I found a couple of years ago from 1859 here in the u.s. gotta get a camera. Art Of Fact
 
Isn't it amazing how when we get a new detector, we always go right out and find something really cool at a site that we have hunted many times before. :D I did the exact same thing with my E-trac....found to barber dimes at a spot we have hunted hard for many years. Go figure. :thumbsup:
