This morning I took the V to a super trash pit that happens to be at least a 100 years old. The trash is staggering so I set the disc to the first line past tabs. I forgot my 5.75 coil so I had to go with the 8x9. I gridded a 40 foot by 60 foot area and hunted super slow. I have not had a 100 coin day in close to ten years, but today changed that. I dug a ton of zincs, but I wanted to keep them disc'd in so I could find Indian heads. I was popping coins out every three or four feet. I had not found any wheats or Indians and I was getting careless in my probing. I was using my screwdriver most of the time for the 4 inches or less coins when I finally popped out a 1906 indian head. I put a gouge in it and that woke me up. Within 10 feet of where I found the IH, I started digging small plugs and to my amazement, up comes a 1913 Barber dime in super condition. If you are in an older area, don't get careless because you just never know. By 9 am the park was filling with people and I had to clear out. Just before I left, a young father and his four year old came over to watch me. He asked me if metal detectors really worked. I was checking a signal when he came up to me so I knew I had a good target. I unplugged my phones so he could hear the signal and I knew from it's loudness, it was fairly deep. I dug a 6 inch deep plug and the target was still deeper. He was hearing it all and I was hoping it was something good. From about 8 inches I finally found it and it was a sterling silver birthstone ring. The young mans jaw dropped! He watched me for a couple of more minutes and I dug a quarter and a dime. He was impressed. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this detector. It makes detecting fun again with no looking at screens or multitudes of tones. Beep and dig, it can't get any better than that. R.L.

Cherry Picking With the V
- Thread starter RLOH
- Start date
Great! There are times when doing just that can be productive. In certain areas digging all responses with a low setting of discriminate can pretty much use up the time you have for hunting by filling your pouch with trash. Is there the infrequent surprise? Most definitely. However the next time in that same area try digging only those targets from right above foil to nickel for a slightly different method of cherry picking. Congrats on the recoveries!

RLOH-----With that very coil--I've found a man's ring in an old ghost town-they had burned down the buildings and the area was a carpet (and I mean CARPET) of nails & other trash. The V with that coil somehow picked thru that mess & come up with that ring.--I have also found IH's & Barber dimes with it in an old "beat to death" fairgrounds (full of trash). I had went thru that area with different detectors & coils several times & really worked that area and missed those coins---that is till I went in with the V & that coil.--I know, I know---Why did you sell it then?-you ask----Well you wanted to buy one!! ha----Seriously-I still got another one of those coils (my wife's)--I can use it --IF she doesn't catch me!!---That one DOESN'T get sold!!!-----Enjoy it, the 5.75 concentric truly is an amazing coil (amazing goes for the V also).------Del
It is a really good choice in detectors.
I think the all metal mode is awsome
on the V.
It's so discriptive, I find myself relying
on it more and more to tell me what's
what.
I don't even use the disc mode on a
target, if it sounds good enough in the
AM mode.
The little bit of rejection in the disc mode
is helpful in my opinion, and for many of
the applications I use it for, it is smooth.
That can be more relaxing than the more
chattery machines.
Of course if you want chater, just crank
that dude up and get that little extra depth.
It'll go even deeper than the AM mode.
Mine has proved to be a good choice for me.
I can use it in all my hunting environments.
Happy Hunting,
