    Day 2 of 2012, and I positively stomped day 1.

    A couple of days ago I finally made it out for the first time this year. Despite visiting a well worked over park, I did fairly good and pulled in several silver coins ( 1st day post ). Today I went back to that same park and spent another 3 hours trying to find the deep signals with Hi-Pro and...

    First outing for 2012, things are looking up this year.

    I believe it's a combination of the area being a bit soggy after recent rains, the finds being kind of deep, and several other detectorists hitting the place quite often. At least one of them is known to dig oversized holes and not fill them properly (he puts the dirt / plug back in the hole...

    First outing for 2012, things are looking up this year.

    Even though there was virtually no snow this winter, I really never got the chance to get out and detect. Spurred on by a friends recent acquisition of the 12" SEF (on a V3i), and his bragging about finding several war nickels in a well hunted park, I decided to give the place another look. It...

    Anyone ever run the below settings? Acts like a different machine!

    A short test in my fairly noisy garden seems to show that these settings quiet my machine about as much as putting it in salt mode or correlate mode, but doesn't lose anywhere near as much depth. My deepest coin is a quarter at 7-8 inches, but I could peg it pretty easy with my 6x10 coil.

    Need Info on Deep Silver????

    If the area is relatively EMI free, and you are specifically targeting silver, using the single 2.5khz frequency will gain you some decent depth (at the cost of discrimination and stability).

    I chased a MDer OFF MY BEACH....................

    I think most of us will agree that leaving behind trash is discourteous (including those who do it themselves). But somehow the rest of your manners seem oddly self serving. Apparently it is alright to disparage someone else because they are a "Weekend Warrior", or because they do not have the...

    I chased a MDer OFF MY BEACH....................

    As far as trash goes, yeah, you can try and shame someone into doing the right thing, but they already know how they are "supposed" to be acting, and are making a conscious decision not to collect the trash, which means when out of sight (specifically your sight) they will go back to leaving the...

    Took My V3i to a pounded site for a hot but short Hunt....:usan:

    Went out and tried your experiment with the low settings. I have only one coin in my target bed (live in an apartment) which is a quarter slightly on edge at 7.5 inches or so. With my 950 coil, filters at 5mhz band, best data & 3 freq (no salt) I couldn't get a whiff of it until my sens was...

    # 19 = nickel

    18 seems to be the magic number for me with nickels. Might be the ground. 19 at a school is just as likely to be the metal section that connects a pencil and eraser.

    V3i

    I think the upgrades are highest priority right now, since people on the forum have already received them back after shipping them out only a week or two ago. The have had two of my coils down at Sweet Home since the 29th of March and still have not checked them out to see if they need to be...

    Finally Found A Deep One.

    Your EMI issue sounds a lot like the issues I have with my 10dd and 6x10 (but not my 950). I have tried backing off the RX and Disc, but I don't think I ever really backed the AM below 60. Was it specifically lowering the AM that helped you, and how far did you take it?

    Finally got that 6x10 DD

    I will be sending my D2 coil back to whites (suggested RX of 1-3 and overloads on tx boost) and figured I would include the 6x10 and ask them to look at how chatty it is, becuase, like you said, it never really seems to quiet down completely. I found, for my soil, the best combination for the...

    Quick Observation about the V3

    Nice Indian Neil, looks like some really good detail. You guys must have some kind soil up there. I still have not found one of those, although judging from the two Large Cents (almost completely featureless) and multitudes of wheats I have dug here in Southern Maryland, if I ever do find one...

    Finally got that 6x10 DD

    Ok, got the coil in today. Did the gain test in-doors in my (suspected) EMI heavy apartment. The 6x10 was falsing a bit indoors, but it would provide a suggested gain of 15 (and at 15 it was losing est 8% signal, 4% at rx 8). This is in contrast to my supposedly V rated Eclipse 5.3, which I...

    Wringing truth from Ring threads...

    I know there are tons of detectors made specifically for gold (with incredibly high frequencies to find the tiniest nuggets), but what if they took the opposite approach? I think the next flagship detector from whites needs to be a 4+ frequency detector. The 4th frequency could be specifically...

    Finally got that 6x10 DD

    Guess I should clarify, I ordered it today (didn't buy from the dealer since its a pretty long drive). I will do the gain test and let y'all know when I have it in hand. Ohh, and the procedure is to hold it out at waist level see what it suggests first, then max the settings and check for...

    Wringing truth from Ring threads...

    I know there have been several threads about gold, and jewelry in general (including that epic thread several months back with the photos of ring analyze screens), but I was hoping to get a good thread going concerning the sound / feel of a good ring target. I noticed while reading through the...

    Finally got that 6x10 DD

    I have been waiting pretty much since the day I bought my V3 to pick up this coil since everyone keeps saying it is great for the type of hunting I do (coin & jewelry at parks / schools). I kept hoping that it would show up in one of those special deals White's occasionally runs, but it never...

    Nickel search

    Ye gads the V LOVES nickels. Still no Buffs or Vs for me though. One trip, more nickels I think than everything else combined.

    Deep Silver Program

    Does anyone here hunt their V3's in the deep silver profile? I was at an old school yesterday and after a friend hit a silver rosie I switched over to DS to give it a try. I did in fact hit two rosie's myself afterwards, but I don't know if I would have hit them in coin or coin & jewelry...
