V3i finds some big silver

[Southwind]

I went to the city park after work for a quick hunt and to get some time in on the V3i. First was a 1943-P silver war nickle about 7" deep. It sounded a little broken and the VDI was jumpy but the V3i let me know it was something worth recovering. The key, at least for me, was a repeatable signal, even if broken, and a small size when pinpointing. Next signal was solid as a rock on the V3i in both sound and VDI. I had John check it out with his E-Trac and he said "it might be silver" It was reading a 93 to 97 at about 9". I dug down about 9" and saw that nice silver shine and knew it was a big one. It was a 1937 walker. It just amazes me that we're pulling this kind of silver out of a small area we have hit very very hard for many years with some really good detectors, yet these new detector are pulling hands full of oldies from what we thought was dry.

P.S. the V3i ROCK!

Nice fines I had my V3I a month now and on my first hunt I got a 1917 walking liberty at 7.5 inch.

I have found about 8 silver dimes this month but no big silver well a 1936 silver quarter but I want older and I have missed indian head pennies. Those finds you have stay with you for a long time.

Congrats. Really nice coin. I have only found one big silver in Germany in years of hunting.
Keep it up and tell us your settings!

Right now I am running with little to no adjustments to the stock Coin program other than the sensitivity up to 10. I want to get used to the V3i's default settings before I start any tweaking.
