I was looking for a good list of VDI numbers and their corresponding targets. Anyone have a nice list that is pretty reliable. I'm still trying to learn my M6, and the rain isn't helping! Just thought I'd study my VDI numbers in the meantime. Thanks, HH

This is the one I use for the DFX. I don't know the M6, but I think if it runs at around 6.6Khz, I think the first column in this chart should work or be pretty close.

I don't know how he put this together, whether from digging or air testing, and I'm not sure if that matters. (I seem to get clad quarters in the ground at 84, for example, maybe its just me, I dunno), but it is close enough for me.

It would be nice to have a chart that included some older and obsolete coins. I saw one once, but can't remember where it was. For example, the large copper I recently dug was at 88-89.
