    4 hour relic hunt

    3rd hunt with the V3i. Getting the hang of it. Settings Hunting Old Homestead/Camp Dug the dime in this area 1875 CC The pile Stock relic program except for the tweaks I made above. I am happy with the way the V3i is performing so far. It's definitely different than the Etrac. It's...

    V3i came in - I went out :twodetecting:

    First I must preface this by saying this is a brand new V3i and it acted much different than the one I had traded my Etrac for last year. It seemed a lot more stable. I still think the previous one had issues. After UPS dropped it off at ~ 4pm, I only intended to play in my coin garden...

    2nd go around

    I relic hunt 99% of the time and had my Etrac running no disc(open screen) and Two Tones Ferrous. Iron was a low grunt and everything above it was a high tone. I hunt a lot of open fields and brush and like to hear the iron because it's my key to slow down and work a spot. I would like to set...

    2nd go around

    I traded my etrac for a V3i last year but the romance was short lived. I went back to the etrac after a month of struggle with the Whites. Well, I ordered a brand new machine last night and will give it another go. This time I will stick it out. I really think the last machine I had, had...

    Learning

    Alright, I'm back! I ordered a brand new V3i today and am going to stick with it longer than a month. :crazy: After going back to my Etrac for the last year, I've made some great finds but I'm bored and have maximized it's capabilities in my hunting spots. I'm interested to see what the V3i can...

    Thinking about starting a club in my area - Advice needed

    I live in a rural community and am thinking about starting a metal detecting club. My love for the hobby and especially relic hunting has infected many of my friends and their kids with the desire to get out and hunt. This year alone I've introduced 5 adults and a half dozen kids to the hobby...

    My Best Find Ever - I will never top this :smile:

    I found this in my 11 year old's school work last night. Out of my four kids, Logan eats, sleeps, and drinks it. :twodetecting: Somebody wipe this smile off my face.

    Found a good one today

    This is my best relic find since my 1851 Officers Sword Belt Plate. I found one like it online and provide a little background. I need to find the other half! :twodetecting: My noobie hunting buddy, a different fellow than my last posts, just bought a Minelab Safari and was out with me for the...

    OOPS. I did it again......:surprised:

    Dug my third half dime in 6 months AND this is my second out of this location. My buddy found one a few weeks ago. Also found what I think is a carved miniball. This is the greatest hobby in the world. Love South Texas in the winter.

    WTT Fisher CZ-21 for Whites V3i

    Have a super clean Fisher CZ-21 water machine I bought from Bart @ Big Boys Hobbies a couple of years ago. It's been in saltwater once, freshwater twice, and on a couple of land hunts. This detector is freaking amazingly deep. I have a quarter buried in my yard that my Etrac can barely hit but...

    Input needed - 2014 Equipment Purchase

    I have an E-Trac and am pretty proficient with it. I have learned its language. (Also have a CZ-21 for water) I want to buy some new gear in 2014 and it's a toss up between the CTX3030 and a Keene Coin & Jewelry dredge. I have a river nearby that people have been tubing down and swimming in for...

    Found me second one in the last month

    Half Dime that is - #2 in my career. Also found an unidentified coin and a couple of eagle buttons. TTF, Auto sens, - Everything pretty shallow in this hard rocky earth. Found at an old home site which is now only farm field and brush. Thanks

    AT Gold - Swang it for the first time today

    Simple to use Lightweight Drizzle doesn't bother it ( out in it today) Good depth These are some of my observations watching my 11 year old swing it yesterday for the first time and my own experience today. After lugging my Etrac around yesterday while my son hunted with his new ATG for the...

    You just NEVER KNOW - EPIC DAY

    You just never know! I have pounded this orchard for a couple of years finding the occasional button or bullet never finding a coin. It was a special day with my "new" hunting buddy who I introduced to metal detecting last year. He is using my Tejon and is learning it. He found a 1944...

    More Effort WIth My CZ-21

    My primary machine is an Etrac. I bought the CZ-21 to water hunt the river down the road and the occasional trip to the beach. That said, I haven't played with it very much on a day to day basis. I relic hunt mostly and have been doing very well with the Etrac. I dig everything above iron so I...

    2 Firsts

    First seated (half dime), first shield nickel (1867). May have found a small campsite. This is the same area I found a 1851 Officers Sword Belt Plate a couple months ago. TTF - slow with wiggle. Love my etrac.

    Learning

    Thought you guys would like to know I can't get my Etrac to hit that 10" quarter in my test garden. :surrender: And its a fair statement that a month is not long enough to really learn a machine. My CZ21 hits the ten inch qrtr easily though....... Go figure. Between the v and the e, i'm...
