What can I say WOW. Started with the AT Pro first signal says VDI of 91 solid silver tone and 8" deep. Dig down 10 " and come out with my second ever Shield nickel it's pretty toasted but shiny on one side. I was disappointed new it sounded like big silver. Rescanned the hole and BANG 91 again pinpointed bottom of the hole and hit a 1899 Barber quarter that had the green mark where it was covered by the shield. Man what a 2 coin spill especially for Spokane. Used the Pro for another hour and a half maybe 27 clad couple of wheats that's it. Switched to the V3i and got a 85 VDI high tone and green freq at 5" I'm thinking silver quarter again, no but a nice 925 ring. Swung for another hour or so get a 86 signal high tone sounds like another quarter but then shows in the red frequency thinking junk but dig it anyway. Get a 1922 merchants 5 buck token? it's in awesome shape. Also got a gold and silver plated butterfly at 6". It seems both detectors are always trying to out do each other so I use them both. The Pro with the Big 17" NEL is heavy so when I tire I switch to the V3i. Showed targets as they were dug and semi cleaned still working on the Shield so that will be a while. Thanks for looking and happy hunting

Couldn't do it without the DETECTOR BUDDY sling. The Big Nel goes deep obviously but the coverage is huge. It's great for grid ding, doesn't miss much

Ahh! Makes sense now. I'm gonna have to get me one of those slings. I would agree, that coil is a beast. Coverage+depth and gridding...I don't think you'll miss anything lol.
Best of luck out there and happy hunting!
 

Sweet hunt with some Awesome finds and that spill is something else, Congrats!
