I was given permission to hunt an residential yard in my home town. The home owner lost his deceased Fathers ring back in 1999 while gardening around the house.

I found little clad, but lots of deep signals and iron was not overwhelming in the front yard. Trash was present but there where areas where I was able to ground balance to 13". This doesnt usually happen for me.

I found the Rosie at around 4" surrounded by iron and alongside a rebar reinforced driveway.

The copper ring was found down at rediculous depth (8+"), There was zero iffyness about digging, the v3i and sef combo lock on rings so nicely.

The back yard was not so friendly but I did happen to find my oldest dated coin yet. Depth was around the 5" mark and there was no question to dig. It is a Shan-lung and depending on who you ask it was minted from 1795-99 or 1796-1802. The mint mark on the back is from Pao Chi. Its not worth the holder I put it in but it is my oldest coin that I have been able to date, so that makes me happy.:detecting:

I ran my 5.3 over this yard around a year ago and missed these deeper targets that the SEF picked up like they where on the surface. I love this mixed mode :clapping:

Thanks Rob, I spent another hour out in my yard and found more silver roundness..... I guess I should post it here or the todays finds. I really like to keep this section alive with finds. I want people to know what a detector this v3i really is.
 
We never have that many finds posted here. I'm not sure why? I think the guys are making good finds. I guess I am as guilty. I'm too lazy to take photos.
 
Congrats! Glad to see you got a good one. I like my 10x12 SEF and have done well locating coins in the 8" range with solid hits.
