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 does the V3i go deep and is it sensitive? Here's my answer from the last 3 days of hunting. First off is a 1936 S Merc from 7" was a solid VDI and tone. Next is a carrousel token (not from 1909 but recent) it was also a solid tone and VDI. The cuff link is from turn of the century or Victorian area and gave a solid tone and the VDI was steady even at 9". The button turns out to be a fashion button and it was also a solid tone and VDI from 7". The gold plated earring from 7" inches was a good signal and the VDI jumped little but I would usually dig this signal. Got an 1901 V and 1937 nickels from good depths and new right away that they were nickels before I dug them. The railway token is from 1920 to 1926 came in at solid steady VDI and good nickel tone. The silver ring is 926 and has a small diamond chip in it, it had a good silver tone showed green freq but had a 62 VDI but I dug it because of the freq and tone. Silver heart was also a good sweet tone and the VDI was about 72 and it was in the green freq. Lastly the white metal cross was a good signal from the nickel range and sounded good for a nickel but showed a deeper depth. My point is all these are shown on approx 1" pieces of paper so you can estimate the size and the V3i found all of them with solid hits (good tones, good VDI's and good target freq"s). So when I hear I can't find anything more than 4" with my V I'm thinking you need to get out there and learn your machine. My main settings are 7 RX, 72 AM and 85 Disc. I always run mixed mode stereo even in high trash. It's like a machine gun and you wait for that high tone and dull thud for a nickel. I use the U13 coil all the time. Thanks for looking and happy hunting
