Recent finds with the Vx3

[triplehooked]

Nothing too spectacular as it looks like I've turned into a relic hunter as of late.... But the Vx3 is doing awesome. I've recently found a church site that burnt down in the late 30's, but it has a ton of trash on the site. I ran in mixed mode for a while, but the trash drove me nuts! All of the items were from one hunt with exception of the token. Not many coins but found my second Barber, a 1909 quarter, a 1884 IH, and a 1941s wheatie I also found a 1909 wheatie, but my son has it....somewhere. No s or vdb anyways.. And a cool old insurance plate of some sort... The D2 coil has been working awesome for me with the Vx3. I can crank the gain and sens. with very little issues. Although I haven't really needed it as most of my finds have been 6-7" with solid vdi's. For those considering the D2 for their Vx3, get it! It makes a world of difference for dirt hunting compared to the 950.

Very nice and I agree on the D2. If you run into terrible EMI that's when the 950 works. I've got a 950 that have never used except at the beach when i was on vacation. The D2 has the same affect on the MXT.

How's the DX1 working?

The DX-1 is working great Rob, just as it should. I would have never guessed it was cut down had you not said something. I wonder why they didn't go with a shorter version to start with? As for the D2, I was skeptical at first as I didn't like the 6x10 much, but this coil is very stable and pinpoints nicely. So far I haven't found any place that the freq. offset couldn't handle. The D2 should come with all the Spectra detectors, in my opinion![size=medium][/size]

It's just a way to make the VX3 package cheaper. Of course if you later buy WHP, D2, and the rechargeable system at a later date it isn't cheaper.
