at the old roller skating rink site. The Barbers are 1892-O and 1908-D, the Indians are 1881 and 1907. I had to add that I was most impressed with the V3i on the last two hunts in particular. Several of the 7 Indians and one of the Barber dimes were at the 10+ inch mark and the rest except the Seated quarter was at the 7 inches or better mark.

Good to see your in one of those kind of spots! (Nice even color on those Indians.) Are you having to scrub and wiggle for the deepies?
 
We were hunting along the Mississippi river in sandy soil where the Coppers don't get that super green patina like they do here in my black soil, the 1872 was the worse of the 7 found there but gee whiz.......it has been in the ground a lot of years. No, I really didn't have to go slow, just my normal swing, about 1 1/2 seconds one way, and the tone was good enough to make me go back and do the wiggle over the target to get a better ID. I still dug a lot of trash because I dig just about everything 5 inches and deeper even though the three frequency pinpoint mode told me a lot and was almost always right. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to ID targets especially in the sandy ground where I can dig a 10 inch deep hole and recover a target in less time than many spend trying to guess what is down there. I get a 100% correct target ID my way........:laugh:
 
I ran my modified Hi Pro and Stereo Mixed mode programs. Both worked well and gave me the same results as Larry got. Location, location, I could use more sites like this one. A good time was had. Rob
 
Definitely a great hunt, Larry. Congrats!!
 
Very nice Larry. I am going to have to make a trip sometime and come over there and hunt with you and Rob. It seems like you guys have such good spots to hunt and have a great time doing it.
Let me ask you both, Are you liking the i version better? Today is really the first time I really got to use my new one and it does seem to be more stable and less noise than my V3. As far as depth, I still have to do some testing on that one.
 
I'm like you Magic, more stable and quiet but I don't think it goes any deeper.
