    New V3i on the way!!

    I think I'm going to tweak mine to reject the ground range when I get chance. My set up is so close to Magic's.

    Horsepower of the V nets the coin I've been wishing for all year:thumbup:

    nalc472, I think there are a few factors that enabled me to pull deep coins with the 12"x10". 1) low trash density - biggest consideration 2) no EMI 3) I knew there were deep silver coins there from having dug 3 walkers and several silver quarters there since Oct. 7 from similar depths. 4) the...

    Just wondering? About the iffy signals.

    Exactly as undrpar said. Iffy signals are part of the sport, too many things to list here that can cause them. There are so many difference in detectors so like you already know it takes time to learn a detector. The V3i is unlike any detector, any Whites I have used in over 28 years - I like it.

    Horsepower of the V nets the coin I've been wishing for all year:thumbup:

    Watching the snow pile up today with the warm glow of a satisfying hunt under my belt. I got out yesterday to a lake bed I've been hitting in Oct & Nov as the water is draining for dam restoration. I put a write up in today's finds. Now since there's some activity here with some new to the V...

    No haircut for me in 7 years - finally I saw my elusive Barber yestrday

    It's true, I just grow it long and tie it back. Getting out yesterday before our first snow to get some detecting in. I've been hoping to get back to the drained lake that had been good to me. Swampers, long handled scoop and a hot tuned V3i sporting a 12"x10" SEF in an area free of EMI / RFI...

    V3i - First Impressions

    Mike, you've got a great start because of your attitude, open mind and a test plot. I've had mine for three years and it's unique in its flexibility to be adapted to the hunt site and your personal preferences. The first thing I remember when I first got it was how great it was to change font...

    Ring #21on the year

    The snow didn't amount to anything and the ground is a long way from freezing so I spent some time coin hunting in the 40 degree weather. No place special, a park where I see signs I'm not the only one hunting. I've had some nice finds there this year, a few silvers incl. a Franklin half and...

    Another golden goodie ends yesterday's hunt!

    We've recently had a streak of very mild weather. Yesterday I decided to grab my insulted waders and take the ATPro for a swim back to a forgotten swimming area that has been a source of great finds. Good signals are very hard to locate so I decided to head into a spot laden with nails and...

    Quick & unplanned hunt = success :whites:

    Got out of my annual physical (all is good) well after 2:pm with my detector already packed in my trunk. Found a field where I could use the little Sampson digger. First dig, first silver a '45 quarter. The third dig was the '44-D dime. cherry picking for almost 2 hours netted two silvers, 3...

    Finds from Wednesday & Friday hunts- (got squat today :shrug:)

    Wednesday I spent 2 1/2 hours in my 5 mil wetsuit with duofold expedition base layer. Three mil neoprene tall socks beneath 5 mil dive boots, insulated neoprene gloves and by the two hour mark the aches began in hands first later the feet a little from the 50 degree water. A meager take for the...

    Monday & Tuesday V3i silver

    Re my silver count - Off the top of my head it's at 76 with 7 silver half dollars. 7 gold rings, bunch of silver jewelry and a few large cents. It is that time of year where I will start to add up the finds. Today I got a foil reading VDI of 6 to 8 in the lake bed 14K I have finds from Wednesday...

    FS 12"x10" SEF for Soverign & Excal - needs minor repair - see pics & description

    12"x10" SEF for Sovereign and Excalibur with cover.This coil does work but needs work. It was on my Excal but I decided to go back to the stock 10" coil. First the coil cable where it enters the coil needs to be epoxied in place. You can see the old epoxy resin from the factory in the close...

    Monday & Tuesday V3i silver

    I posted in today's find earlier in the week. I was out with the 12"x10" SEF both days. Turf on Monday, a drained lake on Tuesday. From turf: From the lake bed, where I suspect there are targets sunk beyond detection. HH - Bruce

    Tracking causes noisy operation

    You are right. I should have distilled my thoughts down to a simpler explanation IMHO: the controls - what is it? What does it do? How does it effect operation? What do I need for where I am detecting? We used to say in the data center RTFM. I do tell anyone in my area who asks help with the V...

    Tracking causes noisy operation

    That's the key question. In a nutshell: because we are a results oriented society. I'll explain my thought on that. One member who went from the DFX to the V3i kept saying he was "fustrated" , "not finding anything anything deep". He said would set the V down and grab his DFX so as to find...

    Last hole just before dark makes the day!

    Every week I've been checking on the level of a lake I've been hitting. Before I left town I stopped at a sand volleyball court that is used by ESPN. One of the grounds keepers came over and shared stories of detecting around town. He's got a whites and related about the coinage they found when...

    Silver hat trick or pipe dream...?

    Only had a short hunt of about an hour and 40 today but I went with a plan to try and coax some silver out of a public place that seems to have dried up. There is one relativly small area that has been the only area of the park I seem to find any silver. Many coins in the 6" - 8" range. I've...

    Tracking causes noisy operation

    I've had my V3i for just over 3 years and the longer I stay with it the more I enjoy it. I had a good understanding of the XLT / DFX and what each fuction did and any cross effect to other settings. I think this made my transition much easier. What I did way back after reading the threads on...

    A couple of slim pickings from this week

    Finds from this week minus the pile of clad, numerous wheats (except the '09) and plenty of misc items I wasn't motivated to picture. The Masonic Penny and unidentified copper discs came from turf. The rest were slim pickings from this lowered natural lake that has a dam under repair I'm...
