OK, I understand about reinforced concrete and all, but isn't the re-inforcement done with iron rebarr? Why do I get all these positive numbers ranging from 33 to 80 with iron? martin

Understanding that a jar may have a tin lid yet a full jar of coins should VDI the coins, right? And so if it does, and the coins are of all denominations(sack of coins same situation), what would you expect to read from a mass like that? It's a little interesting to wonder what a tin can with...

Somebody asked about the tracking offset elsehwere and got the normal routing, Read pages 34 and 35 or some other pages, I personally quit listening at that point, cuz the V3i manual is a mess all by itself. Now, today in another thread topic there, this below was written. Tell me, is it just...

http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Dallas-decides-to-keep-cash-found-by-honest-teen-121609364.html You've maybe seen this already, but it reinforces my thoughts that you just keep stuff. It was also of personal interest because I used to live basically in the same spot. How can the city just keep...

OK, I've read a lot about people hitting spots again that have been hit really hard, find stuff, and also read repeatedly that no-place is ever totally hunted out. So, if eliminating the surface coins just lost in the last week or so since your last visit, it is still true that no place is ever...

Touchy subject since the homes were moved by the Corps Of Engineers some 50 years back(detectors were lame back then, righ?), but the Corp still maintains the policing of the lake. Now,,,I know where many old glas bottles have been found by eyeballing, from home spots where the buildings were...

This may not be crutial to PP, but I find it a bother when looking for clean ground to GB over. While running the 10&quot:grin:2 coil, way in back on house and powerlines for EMI sanity, with a fresh GB, it seeks the buried target just fine, PPs OK, then If I hold the trigger on PP for several...

Texas has been a dust bowl nearly, and I have optimized my detector with super dry soil. We've recently has rain over the last week, and it seems that I get more falsing, more ghost beeps and such than I am used to. Would the new moisture content aid EMI? FYI I am running a 10&quot:grin:2 on a...

OK, I search my own yard A LOT, gotta be drained by now, but went outside and found a 75 VDI up near the new cement road they built. It read 2.5 inches, but the coin popped up under an inch. I re swept the hole and got another 75 hit at 4, and another penny surfaced within an inch. One penny was...

Seems we have a mountain lion in my area. I sensed something late one night(3-4am) when I was metal detecting my own yard, before even hearing anything about a possible mountain lion at all, and scooted to the house. My neighbor told me today that there is a mountain lion around, which is why...

First, I could maybe post this in the V3i forum, because I had my best personal day with mine yesterday after months of just practicing here in my coin garden at home. Anyway, I hunted at a personal friend's home, she is short time with cancer but still very mobile so I did had copany some of...

OK, I've been using Lock for ground balance for quite a while because I have mainly been detecting/practicing in my own yard since it's been so hot. I decided to go back to Auto yesterday, and I believe I've found an issue, which caused me to think over the operation of the Auto feature. My V3i...

To me, there would be an uncomfortable aspect, or at least unconfortable moment, when hunting with a partner, especially a new partner. Say you are going to an old homestead, so of course there will be hot spots like the front porch steps and trees with roots uncovered, just to name a couple...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last night, my brother and I were sitting in my living room and he said to me, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the...

Let's say that the soil is not saline, and not fertilized, yet the salt compensation mode in the V3i runs it quieter. Will we lose anything in performance by running salt compensation, such as depth? Just because it is quieter, does that mean totally positive and a good thing? Tia. martin

...would you go after this September holiday to hunt? All salt and fresh water venues are off limits for this discussion. martin

To me, a full dig video should include the beeps, and then the dig. Martin

Update: This is a cool procedure, and quicker to the dig than the initial conventional sweep method at trigger. I tested this many times since posting this information yesterday, and found it to be great going from the air, directly down onto the general, eye balled disc-d location of the...

If you Google KTRK 13 ABC lost my stuff, you'll get to the news site where they have a story and video about metal detecting, in particular, the Lost My Stuff group and how they find stuff for free. it may slip off the website tomorrow, who knows. I really enjoyed it. Good PR for our hobby. martin

OK, this is a small city in Texas, which has had a strip of what looks like maybe 120+ storage units, but it has been used for flea market gatherings for as long as I have lived here. Most of the rentors of these units are always staged for these weekend sales venues, I'd say for at least 20...
