Went for a different kind of treasure today. And yes they were good. lol This is my half.

Over the weekend i was at the trusty old park and it looked like a storm a brewing. The raindrops started slow but i was only a few yards from the truck so i ducked into the truck for about ten minutes and it passed without much rain at all got back out . Not much on the hunt but i got some...

I was taking more pics of the penny i found and i think i finally got it. As you can tell from the pics I have had a hard time making a decision. I know when i first looked at it it was 1914 but from that point on it looked like a 1911 about 4 out of every 5 times i looked at it. I can see a 4...

I had something happen the other day that has happened to me before with a different machine and i was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I'm detecting and get a signal, one that makes me want to dig the target. I pinpoint and get a lock on it and right next to where i pinpoint is a...

I took a shot with Magics program today in my very trashy yard. Found a 1911D wheat and a cheap necklace i posted on another thread. Boy, does this program let you know what's in the ground. I tried this program awhile back and spent my time :bangahead01:. I never gave up on it, it was just that...

I was trying Magics program today in my trashy yard. I found a decent 1911 wheat penny. This trashy yard has been making me earn the finds but makes for great training ground to try new programs. Also I found a cheap necklace and you wont believe what it was laying on top of, Yes a huge hunk of...

I went back to the park today to see if i could conjure up anymore forgotten coins. I started out with jacks correlate program and hit an 1889 Indian head right off the bat. Next came two 1951 wheats. Later i switched to Yazoos program and nailed an 1891 V nickel. Been a while since i've found...

As everyone with a new V3i knows there are a bunch of adjustments that can be made with this machine. Although most will start out with factory programs and then move to custom programs, you will more then likely do some adjusting within the factory programs. There are settings in some programs...

I was hunting my small trash infested yard again and was thinking what I could do different to attack the trash problem. I have been using Jacks correlate program lately and it has been working great at the park. I have found some stuff in my yard but nothing major as it has been hunted to...

Looky what i found today. My second one since i've started detecting. These things are cool

Sorry Jack I just had to do it. lol I went back to the park today and fired up Jacks correlate program and went really slow. In the first ten minutes that program sucked a 1941 Merc out of the ground. :yes: Most of the rest of the time it was pretty uneventfull, only dug two modern pennies...

I have a question about the battery setting on the V3i. I have noticed when you go to the Expert Menu Configure Battery Battery type ( There are three choices) NiMh - NiCd - and Alkiline When I first got the V I assumed that this setting would automatically change depending...

I got out Saturday and had a pretty uneventful hunt. It was a very nice day out and i dug 54 coins in less then 5 hours. Pretty close to an average of 1 coin every 5 minutes. The cool thing was i could hold all the junk i found in the palm of my hand. I really liked that part. I did get a first...

This is in no way a problem i just was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and is it a possible good sign? I'll give you a run down of what i'm talking about. With the V3i on the first occasion i hit a target the signal was bouncing around. I turn 90 degrees and the same thing bouncing...

Today i had a few hours after some yard work and no time to go far. I opted to hit the neighbors yard even though i have killed that yard in the past. I got 3 clad pennies and a 1959 Rosie. It's not in the best shape but it's silver. This is the first time i have hit silver three hunts in a...

Got out for a few hours after work to the so called hunted out park. I was feeling a little better and it was a nice day at 55 degrees. I found about twenty five clad coins and a couple of rings and knocked out another Indian Head penny. This penny is the worst shape of the three i've found...

Hey I found this minnie ball with the V3i. Must have been a left over from the war, never expected to find one in central illinois but i was thrilled to find it. Only thing is i have no idea what caliber it is. Anyone know the answer?

Went to the park today for a 4 hour hunt. This park has been hunted to death but it was time to be done with the home field training course. I have hunted around the house alot to get used to the V3i. Probably have about 40 hours on it and it was time to get away to see if i could do anything...

On the V3i, if i have my tones in the negative range set to 0 why is it that on some negative vdi's am i getting a grunt sound? Could it be shallower trash causin this? Question #2 In Deep silver mode where only upper Vdi numbers are set with sound and everything else set to 0 sound what would...

I am using the new V3i in a place I beat pretty hard with the MXT so I have no idea of what could be left here. Day 1: Got it out for the first time and it seemed like every program was bouncing and beeping like crazy. I wasn't digging anything just checking it out. Day 2: Got out for a few...
