An old house was tosarn town on the main drag of my town. I saw the owner building a new garage on the property and asked him if i could detect. He said ok. I was detecting and some neigbor mean man yells over to me " there is nothing over there becuase it has been detected many times and cleaned out." I workd only half the hard with a 4x6 dsd due to heavy trash for about 2 hours The neigbor man did not know apprently how good a V3i is. The cleaned out lot gave me 7 clad quarters, 4 clad dimes, 11 memoral pennies, 2 nickthels and my first wheat (1951) penny. Also, a 1950 Cap gun, 3 hot whetsels, and a Stom king lighter.The neigbor was not outside after I was done but I wanted to show him that at least now the front yard is cleaned out thanks to the V3i's ability to clean out the trashy "cleaned out" yards. I have found 65 coins as shown below with only 12 tours of detecting with my new V3I. Every time out I get more and more coins per hour and new finds also. Thouht this story would humor and motivate.

V3i, Funny Story from Yesturday.
- Thread starter nalc472
- Start date
Went back yesturday to same yard. Put my 4x6 dd in single 22.5 freq (t boost on rx 11) and pulled another 41 coins in the same area. I found 2 more wheat penies no silver. Going back again since I found a toal of 60 coins just in half the yard. it is a small lot. I am going to put back on my 10 dd and put it on 2.5 and max the signal. In the 3 freq it would only go to rx 10 with tx boost on. Found 106 coins so far this year with 17 hours of work.

Howdy nalc472--
That IS a funny story! I guess that the lesson is to never be afraid to hunt an area that is said to be "hunted out"! Here is a funny story for you: Years back, I was detecting a site with my hunting buddy Burleson James. He had just dug a 1916 merc and excited he came over to me to show it (no it was not the D mint 1916:veryangry
. He then wandered to another area to hunt. So I worked my way over to where he dug the merc and I saw his filled in hole. I swung my coil over his hole and got an 85-86 reading on my SL89 and dug a nice 1947 Washington quarter. After 25 years, I still tease him about the importance of rechecking his hole hahahhah. Keep up the good work nalc472 but most of all have fun! Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!
