    New V3i

    This puts the V3i in a "pause" mode. Simply pull the trigger to unpause it.

    V-Rated SEF Coils

    I try to keep it around 30%. Otherwise it overloads on a surface quarter.

    Deeeep Silver

    I have a site that I like to return to when conditions are right. It is an old drained lake that was once a popular swimming spot. It is often too muddy and other times the ticks and mosquitoes are killer. It has been dry here and it just started warming up, so the grass is still low and the...

    V-Rated SEF Coils

    I run my SEF 12"x10" (black color) at an RX of 12 or 13 without a problem. I see a significant loss of depth under and RX Gain of 7.

    Just a button...

    Just a plain front button. These types of eagle backmarks date back to the early 1800's when England manufacturers were capitalizing on US patriotism by making these eagle marks for the US market. Here are some from this year...

    Just a button...

    ...but a nice early 1800's backmark with some gilt... It was deep with barely a chirp, but all metal (Mixed Mode) picked it up nicely. One of a handful picked up today at my "safety" spot.

    :thumbup:Tell me about mixed mode please

    I do not use Stereo Mixed Mode, but Mixed Mode is a must, not only for the additional depth but the width of the signal as well. An indirect hit may not trigger the Discriminate mode at all ( on the edges of the coil), but the Mixed Mode will have a threshold change. Often, centering the coil...

    First 1800s Silver For Me

    That's a great find! I have been detecting for 10 years, and dug coins from 5 centuries and only recently dug my first Seated Dime! Congratulations!

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    You should be able to tell them by their sound. They ring in as a 50 VDI which is the same as a zinc penny, but are a bit too big sounding for a penny. Some read like a quarter, but the dominant frequency is 7.5 KHz, not 2.5 KHz like a coin would be. (Check the strongest bar in pinpoint mode...

    Colonial Era Wax Seal Stamp and some other goodies...

    Unfortunately the stamp is missing. Based on the great condition of the wood insertion, I bet I left the stamp behind in the hole!

    Silver Marcasite Ring and Some Coin Oddities

    I hit the beach the other day, but even though it was warm inland the beach was much cooler and the wind was so strong I could not even hear the targets. I only stayed a short time as it was really annoying. These were found up high on the beach, as the lower beach is all sanded in with no...

    Colonial Era Wax Seal Stamp and some other goodies...

    I got out to a few spots over the weekend. One of my old hunted out spots was not a total loss, finding a 1957 Rosie. Then I returned to my colonial soccer field and dug a bunch of tombac buttons, a toasty "V" nickel and a colonial wax seal stamp. These tombac buttons are very difficult to...

    Bad NiMH Battery?

    Odd, but it seemed to charge fully last night. I will need to take it out for a few hours and see how it holds up. What if it is an intermittent problem? What would that point to?

    Warm Weather = Excalibur Time

    Well, yesterday's forecast was for 70+ temps here in NJ, and I had an early appointment with a client down the shore, so I took advantage and roused the Excal out of its hibernation. The shorecast was a bit different than the forecast, with cool temps and high winds, which made it nearly...
