    Gone camping

    We had a chance to get a way for a few days from work... boy was that needed. We had a great time and even found a little time to go hunting. There was an old ball diamond that I have worked before but digging and hunting was just perfect and I was getting some deep targets in the 8 to 9 inch...

    Deep Silver settings

    The second suggestion is true, the first one..... probably not. Ground filters has more to do with swing speed, 5 Khz favoring a slow swing. Slow swing is best used in trashy ground. A faster swing speed and higher ground filters generally gives more depth with limits of course.. 7.5 high...

    Deep Silver settings

    I would not recommend someone elses settings, ground conditions and hunting styles vary too much. What is good across town may not be the best for you. I would start with the factory settings and fine tune it to your ground, hearing, swing speed and so forth. That is the strongest selling...

    Picked up a v3i today!

    The White's vids are good but there is a lot bad info (and good) on YouTube. The two forums, White's and this one has everything you need to know and don't pass up the Links at the top of this forum.

    National Metal Detecting Day

    was a blast and the weather even cooperated in spite of the forecast. We went to the big Minelab sponsored hunt in Galesburg and saw a lot of old friends. I think everyone had a good time, the ones I talked to anyway. I heard there was over $27,000 in prizes and coins to hand out or find to...

    V3i program question

    As long as it works for you. The downside of a master reset is you lose any changes and programs you made.

    Can v3i be set deeper than preset coin & jewelry program?

    The V3i is a programmable detector, if you don't want to "program", the VX3 may be the better choice for you.

    Beautiful day to go hunting

    We had permission to hunt one yard, wish we had more, what a great day. My take was 11 wheats, the oldest is 1919-S and a couple of Merc's, a 44 and a 20 something. The rest is the usual misc.

    Got out for a little bit Sunday

    It wasn't too bad if I stayed out of the wind but still only lasted a couple of hours. The shotgun base is a 10 gauge, don't see many of those. The Merc is a 1918 and the wheat is a 56. Nice little President pin and a wire wrapped "something".

    I found a Buick

    name plate that was made by J. W. Colgan Co which was in business from 1880 to at least 1929. I would like help finding what this went on and if a car, what year. The back is plain with the J.W. Colgan, maker, stamp. It looks like it might have been soldered onto something with a solder line...

    I found a Buick

    medallion of some sorts plus a lot of junk. The only coin was a very toasted older foreign copper that looks like King George V on the front but unlike Great Britain coins, the date is on the front, an 18 something. It was nice to get out for a couple of hours walking the field but until it is...

    Enjoying a few days off work

    I tried some woods hunting for a while this morning and struck gold on the first target, a pretty little signet that tested as 12k. There is no purity stamp on it so I'm pretty sure it is over 100 years old. It rang up as a nickel, boy was I surprised :bouncy: A fired three ringer, one wheat...

    Another windy cold hunt

    but all goodies. The buffalo nic on the right is a 1917.

    I braved the chill today

    and did a little field hunting. The only coins found were two IH's 1880 and a 1900. The ring is an oldie but just pot metal or whatever they were made from at the time.

    Garrett Ace 250 in time for Christmas

    A great backup or first time detector with the Sun Ray YF-1 pinpointer.....it is in used condition and the last 2 1/2 inches of the middle rod is missing. (The last length adjustment hole) So if you are over 6'2", you will need the extra rod length and a new rod can be purchased from Garrett...
