A friend finds an 1844 quarter with his v3.....10" down

I caught up with a detecting buddy today and he showed me a couple of his recent finds with the v3. He was running the 2.5 frequency and 5hz low pass. 90 on the disc settings using the all metal channel. He got a squeek out of it with a vdi of 64 and got over it and got a signal of 74. It hit repeatedly in the mid 70's and pinpoint showed it 6+ in depth. 10" down pops this 1844 seated quarter. The town did not exist till the 1870's and the coin certainly appears to have been dropped before the turn of the century. He detects allot and never appears to be fatigued from the the nearly constant chatter running all metal. The places we hunt are literally trash heaps and I cant handle hearing it all but he just keeps on chugging along.

Here is a sterling silver brush he found and a 1904 dime..... I got my sef 10x12 and it wont run a gain past 4 before becoming unstable. It completely overloads at 13:veryangry:

I think the biggest issue with people who think the V3i is not a deep seeking detector is that they trust the depth indicator. I find that the V3i always gives a shallower reading than the actual depth. This post is an example of what I already knew.
