    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
