Played hookey from work today.........:detecting:

[RacerX]

Got a call from my friend Ray today. He wasn't at work, He was at his favorite top secret old park with his buddy who had come over from the UK. He's taunting me about (me) being at work. Well, I told my secretary I wasn't feeling well and out I headed to sneak up on him while he was hunting.

The V was amazing me in the area I was in. This area had been heavily hunted in the past and I was pulling wheats like it had never been hunted. Most on edge or masked.

Then I get the signal, 91 VDI 4 inches deep. I figured a clad quarter or maybe a late silver if I was lucky. Imagine my surprise and delight when this popped out of the ground.

11 years of hunting and I've never found a dollar. Lots of halves but never a dolIar. I give the V 100% credit for this find. I never believe in parks being "hunted out" but there is NO WAY there hasn't been a loop over this coin and being so shallow the only way you could miss it is if it was masked. Of course there was iron 2" away, but with the V processing/recovering so FAST this coin finally see's the light of day.

BTW, this is not the first silver I've found with the V that included iron in the same hole or extremely close by.

What coil were you using and what program/settings?

I love the D2 coil and don't have a smaller one yet so it's what I use. Normally I use a deeper custom program using the 5 band filter and a slow recovery speed, but in this case because of the high trash content I wanted the higher speed the V is capable of and was simply using the stock C&J with the sensitivity bumped up a few notches (9/10).

 

[jbow]

to get a slower recovery speed you riase the number, is that correct? I use 5k a lot too because I swing slower usually.

Thanks.

That is correct Julien. The adjustment is recovery DELAY, the higher the number the slower the recovery.

Always important to remember (if I understand this correctly), lowering your filter to 5 and a slower recovery speed will generally run deeper (you'll hear the response longer) but WILL make you miss masked coins. Or, more accurately - you need more separation between a good target and iron for the V to acknowledge it.

Run different programs in different areas just as you would run a different loop. Sometimes the lightning speed of the V is the advantage you're looking for such with the peace dollar above.
