All-out horsepower, dead-ontarget accuracy, and a pro-designedrelic program ... for finding the
oldest, deepest relics of the past.
A friend invited me to detect
an unhunted backyard. The
house was on a route the
troops took to Gettysburg. We split up, and I took one side of the yard
with my V3i and he took the other. My side produced several mercury
dimes and assorted yard treasures, and then we swapped sides. Soon I
heard a huge signal that read high on the display. Just a few inches down
I popped out my first belt plate. My buddy had gone over the same signal
and decided not to dig thinking it was trash! Once again, having a great
machine and a good location (and friends that share sites) can lead tosuper finds! Matt in Maryland

I found a story of a forgotten picnic grove
another treasure hunter had discovered on an
old map. Equipped with my new MXT Pro,
within 5 minutes, I got a solid hit, VDI 88-92
about 10 down ... golden and beautiful with
gems and pearls. Within 30 minutes of my first
real hunt, I had found an epic treasure, for mepriceless... Roman in New York
