Hey everyone,
Hope everyone is out hunting by now. I've been on a 16 days in a row hunting adventure. I just got a new V3 in January. I really wanted to put this unit through the test as soon as the weather broke. It's been tough and I've been tired. I work nights so I can get out a few hrs a day or so with my youngest boy.
I've been to a bunch of sites. Some hunted hard some not hunted at all. I first started the yr with hunting down new sites I researched. I came up with a old park that was no longer in use. I went on sunday and found three silvers through 12 inches of snow. I came back the following week and just was ready to hunt right.
So this nebby neighbor comes over to me and asks me if I have a permit to be in these unposted public woods. I said no and he asked me if I was from the gas co. I said no. Ten minutes later the cops come. They were nice but said I couldn't hunt the land. I said ok no problem and left. They told me were I could get permission to hunt the land. But I am busy right now so I guess another great site will sit. It held silver wheats and more.
I decided to just stay basic. So I went to a park that I don't hunt much and it dates to the 1850's. In three hrs I pulled out 7 silver coins. All were deep and the V3 is just a great unit in the right hands. I will add more in a minute about that. I've picked up other coins at other sites. Just to much to list right now where everything came from.
The following sunday I decided to go back to the park. I get there right. There are 7 guys hunting this park that morning. I was like man. One guy had a dfx the other a v3 2 guys had e-tracs and another guy had a mxt. And I can't recall if a guy had a se or something else. Thay all had top of the line units.
Do you beleive that in 3 hrs I pulled out more silver from this park than 7 guys did in 5 hrs. They had 3 silvers total. Decent guys helped out the one guy with his v3 some. He had no old coins at all. I pulled out 21 old coins in three hrs. It's the person not the unit. The guy with the e-trac had the most finds out of his group. He watched me dig a wheat down 11 inches and was like wow. I said the same thing.
Overall I am very happy with the V3. It is a great unit and I got it down pat now. I think it is going to be a really good yr. Wish you guys luck out there.
Some of the notable finds were a sterling pocket knife. A weird token called billiken copy right 1908. 7 Indian heads 2 v-nickles over 50 wheats. rare date 1894 barber dime with 0 mint mark. Nice old religious medal. Pennsylvania state seal button circa 1875 all flattened out. Silver button and a 1925 d merc. Pulled out a total of 8 barber dimes.

I guess this is what my tray would look like if I dug everything. 
Too bad about the park. You are definitely good with your machines and I just love how organized and neat you are. Outstanding finds and display. You give the hobby a good name, that's for sure. Good luck this year. Looks like you won't be needing too much luck
