    Hunting in sand

    You are dealing with some mean mineralization and black sand up there. Keep that in consederation with those adjustments.

    Coil Size & Application

    I hunt mainly parks and schools. The 6X10 DD is the mainstay coil for me. I selected the Shooter 4X6 DD as the coil in those heavily trashy environments. In "non-trashy" open areas, the 10" DD works well for me. One thing I have learned with the addition of extra search coils is it makes much...

    A little silver, a little gold, a little gold/platinum

    I purchased the 4 1/2" Super Sniper coil for my AT Pro. I installed the bad boy and took it to one of my sites that have some nasty trashy areas. I have found some good jewelry at this site and just knew it is not finished giving up its treasure. I wanted to see if the little concentric would do...

    New Guys

    Very nice Rob. I found out the hard way "more power" can get a person in trouble. KISS method worked best for me.

    newbee , need help

    I "ve got both the V3i and the AT Pro. Both are great machines for MY PERSONAL styles of hunting. Both are designed to to do what they are built to do. both have available the different coils that may be needed for those special sites. Now that leaves this very important question for you -...

    Election Day Results

    I went back to my sports field for an afternoon hunt again today. The weather was nice, the targets were plenty. Amongst the digs are a silver ladies ring damaged a bit and a 14k man

    Sunday afternoon hunt

    I was able to get out today for an afternoon hunt. I wore shorts and a tee shirt as the temperature was in the low 80s. Tomorrow the forecast is for 90. I just love fall here in northern California. I went to one of the sports fields I

    What were you guys using before you got the new Whites V models??

    I personally came up from the DFX. I am not a specialty kind of a hunter. I generally hunt schools and parks. This is my second year with the V3i and I still don't claim to know it all. I do know the machine has all the capabilities to do what I want it to do with my style of hunting. The...

    Gold Rings VS Pulltabs, Nickels

    Gold Rings VS Pulltabs, Nickels or is it Gold Rings, Pulltabs AND Nickels? I'm sure everyone can agree no matter what type of ground a person is hunting, whether it is beach sand, loam, or highly mineralized soil on the East Coast, West Coast, Gulf Coast or points in between - there is going to...

    V3i

    I upgraded from the DFX to a V3i a little over 1 1/2 years ago. It's a new ballgame in the sense it is going to be a new detector for you. You have the experience from using the DFX to transition in to the V3i very smoothly. Word of caution, I'm sure you have tried and used other's posted...

    Things I like about the V3i

    I am on my second year with the V3i. I don't consider myself a newbie, nor do I consider myself a seasoned veteran. The V3i has made me a better dectorist and I am learning more each time I take it out. I will say with my hunting style (parks and schools mainly), the V3i fits me perfectly. I...

    First Gold with AT Pro

    I purchased my AT Pro a couple of months ago with the intent of using it as a fresh water wading detector. I have recovered rings and other jewelery, but a gold plated ring was the closest thing to gold jewelry. I got a late start today. By the time I headed out to my river beach site, it was...

    Books as a resource

    I have started my 3rd year metal detecting. I love my machine and wouldn't trade it for anything else. It serves a purpose very well. I don't consider myself a rookie, and I am definitely not a seasoned veteran. By being a "seasoned" veteran, I mean a person who knows their machine, the nuances...

    Secret location

    Congratulations on recoveries from secret location. It's the person behind the detector that makes a hit or miss outing. Looking forward to gleaning information from your Metal Detecting Boot Camp book.

    How do *you* make the decision to dig a "ring"?

    Someone else said this and I agree: The worst thing that could ever happen to the hobby would be if someone invented a machine that had 100% accurate target identification. You think the beaches are crowded with detectorists now? Hopefully that will never come out!
