Is that the voice of experience Bill? 
With the job market and building business such as it is, a fellow has to do what he has to do. People ask me when I am going to retire and I tell them I think I am already... I am going to Three Oaks Mi. this next wed. should I take the v or is it just too darn hot out there? Bill

I think we are going to get a break in the weather next week Bill, down into the 80's and it might be better yet up in MI. The super dry ground might be a problem but there is a chance for scattered thunderstorms so by all means bring the V....
BIG G said:You are lucky over there sometimes it will not stop raining here in UK,still waiting for the grass to be cut for hay,need a good five days of no rain to make hay.something to do with the jet stream in the wrong place
I'm up in the Seattle area and our weather (for stretches) real similar to the UK........but this heat bubble that most of the country is getting hit with is gonna do some hurting to a lot of folks. I find it so ironic that we need a generator here in the winter and a lot of the country has to have them for the summer! (Was talking with a friend and he mentioned how it was such a huge challenge just to keep food from going bad in freezers....that is a tough hit to absorb.)
You guy's have fun and take care.

On the bright side spent 5 hours on the beach this morning starting at 5AM Grabbed a nice silver ring on low tide but that was it. The tide came in and I worked the towel line on about 4 miles of what has been a JAMMED beach since memorial day. Did about $27.00 in clad and a 1937 buffalo. I had a great time, time stood still. Met a guy with a V3 who was swinging like 2 feet off the sand. Looked like he was conducting an orchestra, I made the suggestion that maybe he should swing a little closer to the sand he looked at me like I was nuts.
Going back out in the morning, Wednesday road trip to Jones beach in Long Island I've never been there and look forward to detecting a different beach! Thursday I plan on sitting in front of my house and not moving UPS usually gets here @ 4pm if it comes earlier off to the beach.! Friday off to a park to break my baby in. I've found some wheats and a few large cents but no silver there as of yet. I know they are there hoping the V3I can take me there. . Saturday I think I'll sleep a bit.

Yes got it early Thursday morning been out since. This thing is amazing and I'm starting to get use to it. One of my first finds was a beautiful silver ring. I'm definitely going deeper than my DFX out of the box with the stock salt beach program. I experimented with the gain today and started to get a lot of green coins that other detectors have walked over time and time again. My beach gets HEAVY pressure from other detectorists someone is always swinging morning, noon and night. I saw a guy there with a vision recently but he was swinging like he was cutting the grass. Been really loving this detector I am so happy with it and hope to continue getting some great finds. The only problem I encountered was being able to see the screen with my sun glasses on. I've heard similar complaints from people using the ctx 3030.
Rob yes they are. Depending on the angle I can see... it's a real pain. I've been doing a bi focal thing and look under my glasses in order to see. I really only need it when I analyze cause I have the tones down pretty well. Back to a different beach in the early AM going to see how much gain I can give her without interference.
