<p><strong>With winter fast approaching and an unseasonable forecast for a high of 68 degree's myself and two of my hunting buddies decided to get out for what could very well be the last hunt of the year.</strong> We decided to hunt an old fairground that dates back to the late 1800's. The site is now split between a corn field and woods. This particular site has been hunted hard for at least 30 years.</p> <p>After 3 hours of swinging the V3i and nothing but bullets and shotgun shells to show for my efforts I noticed my two buddies sitting on a downed tree taking a break which looked like a good idea. I started working my way to the rest area that my partners had scoped out and got a hit of 14 on the VDI with a depth of 4 inches. I normally would have written this off as another bullet but after doing a scan the spectrograph showed very clearly that the 22.5 kHz was dominate over the other two frequencies. Knowing that 22.5 kHz is the range for gold and nickel I decided to dig. To my surprise I found my first gold coin (love token) in over thirty years of metal detecting.</p> <p>I am convinced that if it would not have been for the V3i and the spectrograph I would not have dug and wrote the target off as just another bullet.</p>
