    2016 Silver Coin Finds

    I have had my V3i now 3-1/2 years. During 2013 (got V3i at end of June) I only found clad, no silver coins. During 2014, I found 14 silver coins the whole year. 2015 went downhill as I only found 12 silver coins. Then came 2016. During the first 8 months, I found 11 silver coins which...

    Civil War era Eagle Buttons

    Well, one of my detecting buddies(Blind Squirrel) and I went to our civil war era hunting site about a week ago. This area that we hunt has been hunted for 25 years, so the pickings are pretty slim. Normally we find Minnie balls, shell casings and other artifacts, but this time we only found 1...

    A Few More Silver Finds

    Well the last 2 weeks or so have been productive for me, not a lot, but still some silver finds. First, I was bored and hunting school yards and boxes and some guy came over and told me a couple lost something out in the grass because they spent a couple of hours looking for it. Well, I did not...

    2nd Walking Liberty and 5th Merc

    Well, first, about a week or so ago, I was bored and went to a couple of parks. I did not have much luck, only found a few clad coins at one so I went to another park. I was hunting in the box first and did find more clad coins and was at about $2 worth when I got a hit almost under one of the...

    Recent Silver Finds

    Well, the Mercury curse that ended when I found the 2 mercs back in April, has truly ended. I recently found one in the front yard of a house that I had hunted previously with a bad coil. I hunt with a V3i and the previous time I was using the 4x6 coil. This time I used my 9" Spider eclipse...

    What is this??

    I found this on a vacant lot, gave a heck of a hit, being all copper! I have a nickel on top of it for size reference, but the "can" is just about the size of a tuna fish can. It kind of looks like the top part may come off, but the item is empty. On the side, it has a spot where it may have...

    Pewter Eagle button

    Well 2 or 3 weeks ago or so, I went detecting with a few buddies of mine and found some lead bullets, mini balls, shell casings and my first eagle button. I was happy to find it, since this place has been hunted for probably 20-30 years by more detectors than Carter has liver pills. I was a...

    Last 2 Silver coins I found

    Well, I haven't posted in a while and within the last month, I have had 2 firsts for me, so I decided to show them. First of all I live in West Texas and out here, we do not have the good sites like there are up in the northeast, we feel lucky to find a wheat penny and really get excited if and...

    Back to the 1 of 25000 1931 Token

    Well, I decided to go fight the prarie dogs for more of their treasures. I did not find much at all, this second trip, except some copper and brass pieces. Then I got a 70ish VDI hit and tone and thought I had found maybe another wheat penny. It was only 3-4 inches, and when I dug the dirt...

    1931 Token

    Well a hunting buddy and I went to another old lot in West Texas today. We had a full audience with about 20 prarie dogs skirting around the lot from hole to hole while we detected. I was not having much luck, but of course my hunting buddy had already found a couple of wheat pennies that were...

    Polar Plot

    Ok, I have been experimenting some and decided to try the polar plot on the analyze screen. I went into my menu and changed it back from pinpoint meter to polar plot and then went out in my back yard. I had my 6x10 eclipse coil, rxg 7, all metal 55, disc 75, recovery 45 and was in my coin and...

    Sun Ray DX-1 Invader probe for V3i

    I just got an inline DX-1 Invader probe from Sun Ray. Does anyone with a V3i on the forum here use one? I would appreciate a little more insight into getting the maximum benefits from this probe. My understanding is that when you are detecting and you pinpoint a target and dig the hole, then...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    watched a video and the guy arrowed over to sensitivity on the live menu and pressed zoom and shows the gain, all metal and disc on the left and on the right it shows signal loss and noise. How do you get the V3i to show the signal loss and noise?? All I get is the left side pop up of gain...

    Texas A&M belt buckle

    I found this Texas A&M belt buckle today and it is about 1" tall by 2.5 inches wide. I have found some on the internet that were similar in design, but Texas was in a white banner and Aggies was in a maroon banner, whereas this one has TEXAS AGGIES in a maroon background. The back has JENKINS...

    Button help

    I found a button the other day that is brass, about the size of a penny and unfortunately minus the whole back. It has a sort of shield in front with a wreath type design like a horseshoe around it. At the top is a banner that has some writing on it that appears to be Latin. I can make out...

    Coil size and battery life using V3i

    Does using a larger coil...ie, 13" Detech Ultimate versus my normal 4x6 or 6x10 cause the battery to run down quicker? I am using a V3i. Typically here in West Texas, I will go search for a couple hours or maybe 3 hours and go home. Then the next day, I can go again for the same length of...

    Detech 13" Ultimate DD coil for White's V3i

    Ok, one of my metal detecting buddies got the Detech 13" Ultimate coils for White's. He loaned it to me the other day for me to try out on my V3i. I basically was hunting a vacant lot that had just been mowed and I have hunted it many times before. I had my coin and jewelry program modified...
