V3 Finds Silver on Maiden Voyage

[West Jersey Detecting]

Here are the results from my V3 test run yesterday. I took the new detector to a site that I have detected before. I knew the location would produce more deep coins due to the fact that I dug some nice coins there in my few outings there.

I tried it out in a modified relic program, raising Rx up to 10, and the Disc up to about 90, and the All Metal up to 70. It was pretty stable, but the Tx Boost made it unstable so I left it off.

I found a bunch of Wheats dating from 1917 to the 1940's, some buttons including a WWI (?) "ARMY" button, and a Merc at about 7 inches, which read like a penny. I found the VDI to be a bit more accurate on the DFX, but I still have a lot to learn on the V3, so maybe I can make some more adjustments. Any advice is helpful!

I had a bit of trouble pinpointing with the DD coil at first, and my battery was low on my pinpointing device, making it even more of a challenge, but I got a bit better as I got used to the coil!

I am already in love with this machine!!!

Nice finds Neil.

May grab a V3 or E-trac next yr. Problem is I am just so good with the dfx. I have been told by friends though I will find treasure with any kind of unit and I have lol.

Good luck man

This is the same problem I have...you get hooked on the DFX it is hard to break away.

If I didn't get such a great deal I would have stayed with the DFX.
