Dear White's Electronics,

I got out a couple of times last year to do some relic hunting and that was pretty easy digging since I was hunting in a plowed field that is turned over every year. But this year I hunted in undisturbed ground in the same area, what a change in conditions and what a difference that makes.

Everything was 12 to 14 inches deep laying there for 150 years. The White's V3i was running at about maximum depth for my ground and some of the smaller targets were a whisper while the larger Minnie balls were still hitting pretty hard. This is my collection of relics from the fields of Illinois that is not often thought of as a Civil War State. The modern plate is just eye candy for the display but everything else was found with my trusty V3i.
