    i like finding older coins more than the gold i find and i did alright when i was using my mxt switching to the v3i has a big learning curve for me so i am working with it slowly so as not to get frustrated. but i will say it takes quite a bit of relics and old find to pay for these machines; i have been able to pay for both my mxt and my v3i in the first year of hunting with them just by selling gold.
    tot-lot hunting is not for everyone but it is profitable. and while hunting these tot lot i have been able to find new leads to old hunting spots schools built in 1901 easements under construction and sidewalks torn out, so for me it is like i get to do recon work and hunt tot-lots for gold.

    Super finds |) That is a nice gold piece I had my eye on a tot lot all winter and when I finally approached the area, I saw a long list of rules None of which said DO NOT METAL DETECT Ok to detect thumbsup01 The I noticed that most of the equipment sat on some kind of solid multicolor soft rubber I am in denial. This was a very nice location for gold. You got a good chunk of your next machine paid for that day lol Sweet digs.
    Finding relics is in my blood
