    Coin custom programming

    Yup.....our "modern" history is nowhere near as old plus......with few exceptions, a current denomination that was made in say 1860 is still the same signiture. If you aren't a collector of coins, a good thing to do would be to get your hands on a grouping of all types that were in your...

    Coin custom programming

    Most of us get rid of the Icons as it really is just a learning and marketing tool anyways. Assigning tones is where it's at because audio is the quickest processing in our brain and Tone ID (combined with 0 or low tone) is a very important skill set to learn. It is huge when being assaulted...

    Depth reading help

    This year is shaping up to be another hot one in a lot of the country so pack water, make sure your air conditioning is charged and hunt early! (Looks like we'll be drowning here in the Northwest for awhile though....muck dig if you dare.)

    Gold Rings VS Pulltabs, Nickels

    Yup. There are targets that scream junk. Once in a while I'll even dig those and it is rare that it is something good and if it is "good", it tends to be costume jewelry or peices parts of something cool. It hasn't happened to me but IF it is a big,custom, multi pronged gold ring......those can...

    Gold Rings VS Pulltabs, Nickels

    As much as the V3i's features help in a decision to dig, the machines abilities come in @ third place in finding gold. Number two is your own efficiency at how long it takes from one dig to another, BUT number "ONE" is where you choose to hunt. Once you accept these facts (and adjust your...

    D2 Coil Vs. Eclipse 10x6DD

    Coil selection tends to be a priority thing for the needs at hand. If there were three main coils for me to have it is the stock DD, the 6x10 and the 5.3. Each one does overlap into strengths/weaknesses of the size above and below.....but never at the exclusion of another. (Unless for a budget...

    Anybody usine the 5.3

    This coil is a main use coil for me on rough hillsides,trashy parking strips,super tough EMI, and bushes. No other coil does all this together as well. It having good depth is completely due to it's smaller size (in it's having to read less ground noise) and gets you into the average old coin...

    recovery

    A fast recovery is so important for jewelry around picnic tables and places that people eat and sit. I was doing an observation/seating area on a grassy hill. I worked the whole hill at least twice (using my standard settings of just above 60) and barely caught a small 10k childs ring next to a...

    And all this time I thought they were old school gum wrappers.....with extremely chewy gum. :blush:

    SUPER 12 / CUSTOMER SERVICE

    I hardly use the Super 12 but......there are places I haunt that it is the only coil to use. Some areas (in certain spots) produce a lot of old copper pennies and dimes because of just this one coil. If you run across deep loam....put it on!

    1$ Gold coin v.d.i. question

    There is one thing to remember on "link" jewelry is electronics love a circuit.....priority. (Each link is one and they are small.) A chain hunt and a "regular" jewelry hunt are two different animals and shape/length of signal is the focus. A good pinpointer (and a developed ear for a scratchy...

    First time Vaquero user and wanting to set up for jewelry.

    Been detecting for a long time and brought a Vaquero home from work to see how it is for jewelry. I know it will be great but was wondering how some of you guys set up for a jewelry hunt? (Bet it is similar to other analogs I've used but every machine has it's "personality".) Really looking...

    2nd Time Out Ever V3i, What is This I Found

    If that is from a hat it seems to be a style from the Jacksonion period. (Gut feeling only) Brass gilt over bronze for sure and I'd do a military emblem search with measurments and composition/images. We had a similar shaped thing come through our shop but about 20% of that size and we only got...

    Fake detectors

    In great economic times it was easier to not move on this issue. Now....we all need to and at the very least, bring it up in conversation. With the economy's starting to tighten up in places that produce this stuff "in a cultural bubble of acceptance", it will only get worse. Tell your...

    Is your Whites genuine?

    Quality control is getting worse and worse on "GENUINE" Chinese produced products as a category. (Can only imagine what all can "be up" with the counterfeits.) List of counterfeit issues I've had this year alone: 1. Auto parts 2. 1 oz. Silver Pandas 3. Huge influx of silver plated jewelry...

    v3i verse etrac

    The sound the etrac makes on deep silver being so obvious is a major thing about it (and it would be nice for the V to have this obvious of an alert) but...set the V up to it's own way of alerting on this and your there. Plus....can't say how many times V specific adjustments rule and carry the...
