Use to hunt a lot with the xlt. Would be disappointed if I dug a silver roosie because I wanted better. Just started using the v3i and my very first coin I find is a 1962 D roosie. Needless to say this was no disappointment. I was very pleased.Good thing is my hunting buddy and I just got permission to hunt a sight we have been eyeing for over 15 years.It includes at least one old homesite and an old barber shop. The buildings are long gone except for a shed. I was tempted to crank up my old xlt but figured I will never master the v3i without using it.I will say the v3i gives good depth with factory pre sets.
