    How many do you have?

    Well, it's the middle of winter and I have already lined up about 10 new sites for spring. This is the time of year to prepare for the up coming season. Lots of research! Also, this is a year with some substantial snow where I am at so this is going to be a good spring for gold ring hunting on...

    VX3 upgrade

    This is from Carl at Whites... The VX3 has had no software upgrades. The so-called daughterboard is not a daughterboard; it is what we call the "DAQ board" (data acquisition). It is exactly the same DAQ board and exactly the same processor code as used on the V3i, and has not changed since the...

    How to take advantage of this drought..

    This summer hasn't been the best for detectorist because of the drought and the extreme heat. So how can you use the conditions we are all in to your advantage? Do you have a spot that is iron infested? A place that usually you have to pick through square nails and pieces of small junk but still...

    Secret location

    Went to a secret location yesterday with my buddy ( corvair ) and hit the jackpot. I ended up with nine silvers and about ten wheats and two large cents. The great thing about it was my buddy ended up with nine silvers also! The large cents are pretty much toast but I can make out 182? on one of...

    Ground EMI problems.....

    I was out hunting today and I experienced a problem that we all have from time to time. EMI that is coming from the ground. I could hold my detector straight out in front of me and it was fine, but when I put it to the ground,...erratic and unstable. My ground balance was good and I even...

    Landscaping metal stakes

    Just an observation, you know those u shape metal stakes that you use in the black cloth covering that is used to block weeds from growing around shrubs and flowers? Well I have those at my home and I notice that in the spring, I always have to push them back down. They seem to rise up about an...

    Here is my past couple of weeks finds. I have only been using the V3i and I haven't had any issues with it. One of the Indians is a 1876 and one is a 1862 fatty. I really like the Melborn Buggy tag and of course all the silver. I had one barber that I put a nick on. Been on a few hunts with...

    On the Rail with the V3i....

    Ok, I have had a few people ask me about me being on the rail with the V3i. I have had my V3 for a long time and I am very much in tune with it. Then I bought a V3i but still kept my V3. Any time I hunt where depth is very important I reach for my V3. Maybe I am just use to it. It really does...

    Past 10 days finds... No dead pets in this one!

    Been to quite a few different spots the past week or so. All of them except one has been old hunting spots I have hit before. My best find,(that I like) is the 1876 seated quarter. I also found about 30 wheats that I have soaking and five V nickels and couldn't get them out for the pic. I also...

    R.I.P. Two caches found???

    A strange thing has been happening between my girlfriend and I. I will find something and she will find the same thing or visa versa. I found and old handle to a straight razor and a week later, she found the other half in a different location. I found a V nickel in an area that should not have...

    Ergonomics

    I have been playing around with my girlfriends DFX and have found a way to make it lighter and more comfortable. She had that carpel tunnel surgery a while back and after a long day of hunting, her wrist starts to bother her. I found that by taking the arm strap off of the detector and wrapping...

    Tips on falsing issue...lesson learned

    I was out hunting a little today trying out the new V3i I just got. I was hunting in a park close to home that has been pounded and just was mainly testing out the machine. I hunted for about 5 minutes and everything was smooth as can be. Then just like someone turned on a switch, the V3i...

    Silver FFA Ring

    I have found quite a few old coins lately, just been too busy to take pics and post. I just found this ring today at about 10 inches deep. I think it may date from the 40s but not sure. Any info on this would be helpful. Thanks

    V3 does it again

    I put an ad out about a ring I found in my town and no one has claimed it yet or has been able to describe it. I had a lady tell me about her engagement ring that she had lost last year in a park close to me. I told her I would try to find it for her. She said she had people looking for it when...

    First time with V3i

    Went out today for a little while and knocked a door next to where I had been detecting before. The lady said sure so I started detecting the back yard. (not much front at all) First good target was a wheat and it just got better from there on! This is the first time using the V3i for me and it...
