Got the new V3i yesterday and got to get out to an old park for a couple of hours today. Only got to hit a small part of it, so I will be making more trips to it. Had one of the V3's when they first came out and I have to say this V3i seems to be more stable. Was able to get a 1927 standing Liberty 25ct and a 1945 merc. plus usual clad and junk. I have both of the top detecters and they both are very, very good
