Here's are the keepers from my 11/6 (2nd V3i hunt). Very typical for this site with the exception of a copper and sometimes a 1 or half real, (next time!). After cleaning with water then coating with penetrating oil the fine hand tooled detail of the cuff button and the coat button to right become more visible.
The next photo contains a small ball - musket/pistol, sleigh or crotal bell frag, shoe buckle frag, later 1800's colt bullet, strange copper nugget, old weight (3 .oz ?) anda couple of whatzits.
My settings were the following tweaks to the HiPro program. Gain = 12, DC sense 65, AC sense 88, show depth on search screen and show track. I did have to rebalance often and also tried lock track and was diligent checking and rebalancing. Ground probe was -95. There's some iron here and there as well plus some coal. The DFX runs in salt mode and was almost never out of balance in the past at this site, never peeped on coal (coal reads near slat I think). Seemed like too much ground balancing, I'll have to try adjusting the filters, maybe someone has a good suggestion based on similar experience. I did bury a dime and liked how it sounded off strong while raising the coil up.In all I think the V and me are going to have a fine relationship. The super 12 goes on the next time I visit this site, take a day off tomorrow would be just the thing. Pardon my old school settings terms in referring to the V3i.
