Theres gold in them mountains!!!
Well we decided to go out and try our luck at finding some gold yesterday at an old mining site we did find a little bit but nothing too great, this was the first time out with the v-3i in prospect mode, I didnt find the gold that we found, my partner found it with his mxt, but I checked it out with the v-3i and it sounded off real sweet, while out hunting we ran into other gold hunters that were also using the v-3 and are loving it. I am still learning this great machine and now I just have one more feature to learn, I read the manual again trying to learn more about the prospecting mode and I was once again disapointed in the lack of information about this feature .

I was running the stock prospecting program with the rx gain maxed out and even with the bad soil we have here it ran smooth.

I can tell you though if I were looking for nails I'd be very rich right now LOL.

the gold was kind of like flakes and came to about 4 penney weights worth.

Next trip I hope to do better, anybody have any good hints or sugestions on how to hunt using the prospect mode I can use all the help i can get since this is new to me.
