Who needs to go deeper when the sv-3i knows where to look!!
I met up with my hunting partner RTD he uses a whites MXT, to hunt an old park with hopes of finding those deep coins that have eluded us in the past.
After checking for emi and ground conditions I set out and within 5 minutes I located a target to dig. Using my probe I pulled it to the surface and .

On my first hunt this year and my first target I found my first silver, my first gold and my first ring all in one, LOL, I managed to pull out a sterling silver ring with a 10k gold face of a trojan on it, weighing in at 8g. Happy dance time



After moving to another part of the park I located another target that sounded like gold with a vdi of 14, it sounded good and looked good on the screen so I used my probe to locate it , all the while thinking it was foil and I started to pull it to the surface and as soon as i got a glimps of it I switched to my lesche to help coax it out to the surface with as little damage as possible and not only did I find my second gold ring, 14k with letters of nike on it,





but out popped a 14k gold bracelet weighing in at a whopping 22g,








happy happy dance time LOL.


Oh and a little clad! LOL



All targets were about 2" deep.

I hope this is a sign of things to come for this year!! MY best hunt ever!!!

nice score :icon_thumleft: MR TUFF
 
Wow! Just do it!!
 
That was definitely a good day!!! I'm impressed. With finds like that, you should amass a considerable treasure soon! How did or friend (the one with the MXT) do ??? Well - Keep up the good work. J.
 
That Nike ring is cool and the Trojan ring looks like Black Hill's Gold. Nice work. I'd like to find enough gold to pay for a V3i one of these days.
 
hi and thanks guys my buddy was a little ticked at me because all he found was cladd and nothing over 4" deep this ground here is weird we buried a quarter at 7" and neither him or I could pick it up and I tried all different programs and filters hopefully I will figure it out one of these days then look out LOL.
 
Odd that you mention the ground reactions. I often wonder if the mineralization caused by the Mt St Helens eruption in 1980 affects the depth we are able to detect a target in the PNW.
