I found an lake that have not been hunted with many good finds so far. The detector that I currently use does a really good job but my finds are seem to be only a few inches down. The lake has been used for a swimming area for many years and I really believe that I am missing some really good stuff other that what I am finding. I would like to get a least 12''. How is the V3X dept wise. I really like the features it has. I know that it is not water-proof. The area that I hunt in is 3 - 4ft. I will be using it for land hunting also. Thanks.
