    Big Foot 4R Vision

    Hi Carl, A DD design is preferable in my opinion. Then the coil would also work well with the MXT and M6 without the front to rear signal reversal you get with the Bigfoot. And the more detectors it works well with, the better it will sell. I sent Dan a Cleansweep coil to see if it could be...

    Infinium Revisited

    Hi All, Well, I went and did it. I got another Infinium. I am really into PI detecting, and fond as I am of my Minelab detectors being a user first I wanted more competition. So I was thrilled when I found out Garrett was working on a ground balancing PI unit - the Infinium. I got to test a...

    32.2 oz Nugget found at Moore Creek

    Hi, We had a short season at Moore Creek this summer due to the recession. But the finds were better than ever - over 86 ounces of gold was found by 28 people in a two week period. There were 12 people the first week and 16 people the next. We have a "day off" between weeks, and so people who...

    etrac vs v3

    Hi, I'm with Carl on this. I've sold tens of thousands of detectors in the last 35 years. I can tell you that many first time purchasers find they really do not get into detecting. Seemed like a good idea, but after a couple outings the detector just stays in the closet. Sweet spot for...

    BigFoot coil doesn't work with the Vision

    Hi, What do you mean by sensitivity? Are you talking dpeth of detection? Or how small the item is you can detect? Depth is related to the width of a coil, not it's length. It is expected that the Bigfoot would have poor depth compared to the stock coil. The Bigfoot depth would be closer to...

    Anyone finding gold in parks full of pulltabs?

    Hi Willee, Went out and hit a soccer field for half an hour last night. Only one pulltab and a few foil hits. Somebody has hammered that one pretty well. I won't go back there in the near future. Maybe in a couple years. There is not any more silver getting dropped but gold does eventually...

    Best of the Best

    Hi, If you are new then you probably drop the Infinium from your list. It is a pulse induction unit and so probably not what you are looking for. There is no best detector. You'll get as many opinions as you want but at the end of the day will probably be no closer to getting an answer. Since...

    Anyone finding gold in parks full of pulltabs?

    Hi Nick, Go back and read what I wrote again. Absolutely, with the V3 I can tell you when it is a pulltab. I also happen to wear a ring that reads just like a pulltab. Sorry I gave you an impression the V3 is not good for cherry picking. It is the best jewelry cherry picker I've ever used. All...

    Anyone finding gold in parks full of pulltabs?

    Hi, Nonsense. For every pulltab made there is a ring somewhere that reads the same. Yes, I can tell when my V3 is hitting a pulltab. Did it last weekend. Got a reading, told myself "pulltab", dug it up, and it was. And continued digging them. Because sooner or later I will tell myself...

    Question to Steve herschbach

    Hi KC, You are welcome. Just one small gold ring so far. I'm afraid I'm so busy getting ready to head to my mine in a few weeks that detecting is taking a back seat right now. Steve Herschbach

    Question to Steve herschbach

    Hi KC, Age is certainly relative. Compared to you I'm a young buck at 51. I guess it is just that detecting for 35 years makes me feel like an old-timer. I will try and get back with a more detailed reply. But you simply have to decide what VDI range responds as a certain coin. So nickels tend...

    White's Vision vs Minelab explorer

    Hi, I like the V3 and will keep for one simple reason. It allows me to use my Bigfoot coil. I can cover a sports field with a faster sweep and a wider swath that I'd be able to with an SE. I'm not after depth, I'm after coverage and jewelry. And since the V3 is hotter on gold, pretty much a...

    STILL CONFUSED ???????

    Hi Jerry, White's got some flack over the DFX programs being too dialed back. Too safe. You had to tweak them up. Now the V gets complaints the presets are too hot? For gosh sake, just back off the RX Gain, Disc Sensitivity, and All Metal Sensitivity where needed. I like the presets. Good...

    Hi All - Just got my F75

    Hi, Well, went and did it. I just got an F75 along with the small elliptical coil. I have to admit I was put off of Fisher for awhile due to issues revolving around the decline of the old Fisher and the takeover by First Texas. I think it is obvious to anyone who watched that product quality...

    Menu "Map"???

    Hi, Go to http://whiteselectronics.com/v3.html Click on the Documentation tab in the middle of the page. You will see various "maps" downloadable as pdf files. If you try the "expert menu" one you will get a page not found error. Look at the address bar in your browser and you will see the...
