Im going to save up for a new detector since my V3i was stolen last week. So in the mean time I need some advice on a detector in the $400 range to keep me going until I get my taxes back later this month. When the Gov owes YOU they dont mind if you file after April 15th. So I was thinking maybe...

So I get ready to go out detecting today and the detector is not in the car. No biggie I figure I left it inside for the night because I usually bring it in after the days spoils have been found. I look look look and its gone...:crying01:....pinpointer and digger still in the car right next to...

My 10"DD stock V3 coil finally crapped out. Whites guy Tony at electronic exploration is just up the road a mile or two and he confirmed it. So....i was thinking of the 12" or the 8x14". I already have the 4x6 shooter coil. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hunt a lot of older parks and...

I found these earlier this summer. Never got around to posting these until now. Better late than never I suppose, thanks for looking. ;)One is a bar token and the other is a steamship line token. I thought I had found a large cent at first but this was a nice consolation prize!

This was my first silver spill from earlier this spring. Imagine my surprise when a Canadian quarter came out of the ground! :cheesysmile: So before I put the plug back in I scanned the hole and found there was another coin. :shocked01: WOW another Canadian quarter but a different type...

I dug this coin and thought I had a silver quarter but the more I inspected it the more I knew it was a fake. The detail is good but the little blobs and the fact its made out of an aluminum alloy told me it wasnt. It is also a couple millimeters bigger than an actual quarter. Its still a cool...

Here is a close-up of the anchor on the back.

I found this in the woods recently. From the little research I have done I have come to think it is a officers hat plate from a circa 1900 Bavarian soldiers helmet. The motto reads IN TREUE FEST. Any help would be appreciated. :)

The end of the year was very kind to me. I hunted a school tearout that had been off limits for a year. So..once the fence came down I went right at it. Many of the coins were actually on top of the dirt and I did not even have to dig for them. The Morgan dollar was a first and I almost didn't...

Well I hope this works but I found an 1863 Civil war token at an old farmhouse here in town. It has great detail and is a first for me. Thanks for looking. :)

The diggers seem harmless and look like they would be a hoot to go on a hunt with. Savage on the other hand seems like a snake oil salesman at best and a major discredit to the hobby. :pirate:

Here are my silver coin finds so far this year minus the SLQ I listed in a separate post. 1939 P, 1941 P and 1944 D Washington quarters, 1918 D and 1944 Mercury Dimes, 1947 and 1964 Roosevelt dimes, 1943 P war nickel. The buffalo nickels are 1916 P, 1919 D, 1920 P, 1923 P, and 1927 P. Most of...

This was a real treat. I went to a park I like to call Buffalo park as I have dug four of those babies this year there so far. I dug my oldest coin yet, a 1909 P Lincoln cent and a few Mercs there the oldest being a 1918 D, so I feel there are a lot more older coins to be found. As im going...

Returned the High School ring I found last month. Felt great to see the smiles on the happy parents and the student who lost it. Nice family. I accepted no reward. My reward was seeing the happiness this items return initiated. This was my first return of a lost item and i hope its not my last...

This little button is just about the size of a nickel. It still has the shank attached and is in very nice shape. I found this little baby in the corn field hunt with Silverstar, Illdigger and friends. We had a lot of fun. I think this button dates from the early to mid 1800s? It is marked...

Here are some of my most recent finds. After finding the gold class ring last week :happydance01: I had a nice streak of jewelry scores. Including my first two silver ring day today <:. Also pictured are A 1964 Rosie, 1944 Mercury dime, a silver earring, I took in about $15 dollars in clad to...

Earlier this week I got a real solid 19 vdi @ 1 on my V3I. Imagine my surprise when this baby popped out instead of the nickel I was sure was going to be there. <: :happydance01: happydance02. I was so happy as it was my first piece of gold. It is a heavy 10kt white gold 13 gram beauty to boot...

I have usually just used the turn on and go with my V3i but I am wondering if someone could tell me how the ground probe and frequency offsets features work? And when are the right times to use them. I have got a lot of questions but im going to start here, thanks in advance for your help! :angelic:
