    Ebay and PayPal: Seller Beware!

    Just another comment related to Ebay and PayPal. There is absolutely no such thing as an absolute auction on Ebay. Say you want to try out a White's V3, new or used. Find on one on Ebay, regardless of the return policy, and pay for it using Paypal. Save all the packing material. When you...

    Testing... quarters , a dime, V3 D2 and other things...

    If your ground is sopping wet, a freshly buried silver coin should be fairly representative of an older buried coin. The silver coins don't corrode very much so don't provide the 'halo' that you'll find with iron or copper.

    Testing... quarters , a dime, V3 D2 and other things...

    The "big piece of iron" is clearly affecting the signal on your 6" quarter. I'd yank that thing out. Then I'd run around with your T2 and 5" DD and pull out anything else that you didn't plant. You might find a few more roofing nails, smashed aluminum cans or pieces of copper electrical...

    Testing... quarters , a dime, V3 D2 and other things...

    J, I reread your post again and was perplexed about the fact that the 6" deep quarter could only be read in one direction by all your high end machines. I suspect that there is some silent masking going on that is nulling out all the machines in one particular direction. I wonder if you would...

    Testing... quarters , a dime, V3 D2 and other things...

    Great report J! Could you repeat your testing with the T2 on all the targets and report back with your findings? I'm really interested in your report on the deep quarter using both the new 5" DD and the stock 11" DD with DISC=5 and in AM mode. I could barely believe your findings with the...

    Are old Explorers still "serviceable"?

    Or are the older models (X/XS) not being repaired by Minelab any longer? What of the "II"?

    F-75 to V3

    ... but if the place is trashy or the ground is really bad, then you put the 5" DD or 4x7" concentric coil on the F75 and swing it as fast as your brain can process the signals. ... or, if you don't have a small coil, set DISC=1 and listen to all the stuff, iron and all, picking out what you...

    F-75 to V3

    Hi jimmyk! Have you ever tested the F75 and the V3 on a common deep target, either in a test bed or in the field? I'm interested in how you feel the two detectors compare.

    Unstable in Semi-auto; Stable in Manual ???

    I duplicated a test I performed a few days ago running my EXII in semi-auto over my test bed in my backyard. In default semi-auto=20 my unit goes unstable until I drop the auto-sens to10. Then, of course, my deep silver targets disappear. If I run in MANUAL set at 19-21, then I'm stable and...

    Excelerator SEF Coils

    Is Kellyco the only retail outlet for these coils?

    This is kinda strange

    It depends on your ground conditions. Here in the Upstate of South Carolina, where there is plenty of red clay, old coins rarely get below 4-6". The ground is just too hard all summer for anything to migrate deeper.

    New to Forum, new to V3, first impressions, questions

    Zinc pennies began production in 1982. They rapidly deteriorate in the ground as the copper plating is too thin to protect the reactive zinc. If the V runs anything like my F75, the concentric coil will do a much better job differentiating the bottlecaps. I suspect it will completely alter the...

    How does the Spectra V3 do in trashy areas??

    Ray, do you have access to an F75?

    Short Recovery Speed Test just placed on Youtube

    I just found one link, and it was not of any test. Can you please post a link?

    Vision depth.

    Ray, eXcellent post. As you own some of the highest end detectors on the market now, could you make some short statements regarding your perceptions of the Vision against those other detectors, especially with regard to where those other detectors are known to excel? Thanks in advance!

    You didn't use any of the following words, did you? "comparison" "test bed" "E-trac"

    Yes, I find lots of good stuff when I'm [not] testing too.

    Nice 'test'. Shame it's not a test.
