    Wheat to silver ratio?

    My finds so far with the V3-- 78 wheat cents 6 silver dimes 2 war nickels for an average of almost 10 to 1. Some people don't count war nickels as silver coins, since they're just 35% silver. In that case, the ratio is over 12:1. However, 27 of those wheats, and 1 war nickel, were all found...

    The Vision LOVES nickles

    Agree that the V3 is a nickel magnet compared to my old XLT. So far since getting the V3 I have found 79 nickels, including 2 war nickels. By the way, they don't always lock in at 18-21 vdi. I have learned to suspect a nickel when I get a signal that hits at 19 or so but might dance all the...

    Seeking advice on finding the deep stuff

    Hey, everyone, I've been playing around with the V for 3 months now and I don't seem to get any signals deeper than 6 inches, and those come only rarely. I'm guessing that there are treasures lurking down below that level. I specifically look for old coins. Here are some of the things I've...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the v3 after 90 days

    Hi, all, A while after I wrote this, I got a call from one of the guys I mentioned in the original post, which went a long way in clearing up the misunderstandings. The day after that, I got an e-mail from one of the other guys. Turns out that at least most of us are OK with each other.:buds...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the v3 after 90 days

    Hey all, Thanks for being supportive, but I hope I didn't give anyone the wrong idea. These guys have been my friends for a couple of years and I'm kind of mystified about what happened. I didn't mean to make you think they are jerks or anything. What concerns me the most is that the simple...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the v3 after 90 days

    Hey, everyone, It's now about 90 days since I got my VISION (now known as the V3) I'm no expert, so my opinions may not be worth much to anyone, but here they are on the V3 so far: The GOOD (in no particular order) *I really like the color bars and the analysis screen. They have told me to...

    Great V3 Info From Jimmy Seirra

    "The best practice is to use the Rx gain to accommodate interference and then to utilize the AC Sens (Disc Sens) to optimize depth." I will definitely try this and I hope to hear from others who are doing the same. Thanks for posting this. I used this strategy with my XLT and it really gave...

    Incredible quantities of copper, not much silver

    Thanks for the replies. I realize it's a new machine and all, and that there's a learning curve. I just feel I'm in one of those "silver slumps" that happen from time to time. Not that silver is the magic determining factor of whether I had a good time or not. Some of those wheats are hard...

    Incredible quantities of copper, not much silver

    Hi, all, I am amazed at the V3's ability to find copper. Since I got mine in March, I've found over 70 wheat cents, including 1912-s, 1914-s, 1916-s, 1924-s, and 1925-s. Lots of "s" mint coins on the west coast! However, with all those wheat cents found, I'm hardly finding silver at all...

    Super 12 or Eclipse 950?

    Do you know if there are newer 9.50s that also have a "V" designation? Mike

    Where will I see the V on a new coil?

    Looking at coils--where will the "V" be that shows me I'm seeing a recent, rather than an older, one? Thanks, Mike

    950 vs. 10DD--what's the advantage of each?

    Hmmm, Thanks to everyone for the replies so far. I seem to find that even when I start out with the DD, I'm taking it off and replacing it with the 5.3 for some reason or another. On a recent hunt that I've mentioned in some of my other posts, the first day, I used the 5.3 coil and found 62...

    950 vs. 10DD--what's the advantage of each?

    Hi, I'm reading some really positive posts from people who have set the 10DD coil aside in favor of the 950 concentric. Can someone give me an idea of advantages each one has? My main interest is coinshooting. I find plenty of coins with the DD and the 5.3, but I'm always looking for better...

    Customer Service says a lot about a company . . . . :thumbup:

    I have the excellent fortune of living less than an hour's drive from the Sweet Home facility. On my last visit, I had my V3 upgraded to the latest software WHILE I WAITED!!! I have been there a number of times and every single time I have been treated as the most important person on the site...

    2 coils, older site--what do you recommend?

    Larry, Good point. What's your stand on coils larger than 10 inches? Do you think an "average" detectorist could/should use one? Thanks, Mike

    2 coils, older site--what do you recommend?

    Hi, everyone, I'm most interested in finding older coins. I tend to use the Hi-pro and deep silver programs the most. I have the V3 with the stock DD coil and a 5.3 concentric. I'm posting this to see if my logic is correct or if some have a different idea. Here goes: When I get...

    Any ideas what to try next?

    Hi, all, Many of you have significantly more experience detecting than I have (less than 3 years with a good detector) so I would like to tap the collective wisdom of the group. A week ago I found a mid-century house and decided to knock and ask permission to hunt. Turns out it's inhabited by...

    Coinshooting / high trash deep coil

    Hi, Regarding the "Analysis" screen, I find that it very rarely gives me useful information. Usually I get flat lines, even on coins. Coins that are tilted, for example, don't read well. However, from time to time, I do indeed get real wiggly lines that shouldn't be coins. One was a clad...

    Coinshooting / high trash deep coil

    Hi, Just a report of my own experiences over the last couple hunts of a residential yard in my home town. I think this is relevant to the thread. Monday evening I got permission to search a yard of a mid-century house near a university campus. It has been a rental for some time now, and...
