    Question: What to set first, second, next?

    Others can explain this better but first you will want to hold the coil in the air at waist level, set the detector to frequency offset, pull the trigger to pinpoint, change the offset, and check the pinpoint until you have a stable, quiet tone with no "motorboating"... then you can go on the...

    AT-PRO and similarities to some competition...

    Frist let me say that I am not trying to diss the AT is any way... I do think that some have done is and Garrett a disservice with all the hype because expectations are so high that frankly I think some are going to be let down when the AT, though a really good machine, isn't really the best...

    Big coils... in general...

    I was looking at all the SEF coils. I noticeed that some of the prices are all over the board. The 18x15 coils are 700 bucks except for the one for the Explorer. E-TRAC etc... it is 300 bucks. The 15x12 coils are 190 bucks except for the T2 model which is 500 bucks and the GPX which is 330...

    Has anyone heard is Kellyco is going to re-stock the 12x10 coil for the Sovereign?

    They have the 15x12 and thr 18x15 (which is for some reason very expensive). Joan Allen has the 12x10 but it is $300+ shipped... I wish they would get the 13x10 and an 8x6 SEF... I would be interested in both. I emailed KC to ask but I thought maybe someone knows. When they answer I will post...

    Ground Balance and AutoTrac? No Problem Here!!

    You know... (since you brought this up) I have both and I think one is as good as the other for casual use. They are the best two machines made. I have compared them side by side too many times on deep targets and I know that they both will stop you in your tracks on a deep target and they both...

    Ground Balance and AutoTrac? No Problem Here!!

    I like that cross, i'd clean it up and wear it. How was your auto tracking set? I've been setting mine at 15 or 20 and it seems to work ok. I also use locktrack about as much as auto. I have one site where it changes a good bit every 20' or so. I need to check the autotrack there. It sounds...

    Falsing issue

    Could be some amateur radio in the area, or some other equipment that operates irregularly. We have some areas around here where the power is really dirty. Two places in particular where I cannot listen to AM radio when driving there. I think the power is coming from a local dam in those...

    G/B problems

    I am not sure where to post this because it was posted in the "on the rail" thread before Rob closed it... Corvair said something about the DX1 and DC sens.... what is the DX1 and what is DC sens?? J

    Just talked to Magic on the V3i questions.

    Good.. I am glad that is cleared up. One thing I know for sure is the V3 gives an accurate VDI on those deep targets, even if they aren't quite as deep as it says... I don't pay a lot of attention to the precise depth anyway. I don take a look but 8 or 10 inches I do not worry about because at...

    Iron question for Rick (ND) or anyone else... :help:

    I have a hard time with the SovereignGT in iron, in particular in cut or short square nails. These nails are corroded and usually slightly over an inch long. I was reading another post and I read where you said you can always tell iron because it will move when you check it from the side. I must...

    One of my latest hunts with the V3

    at least Steve hasn't called you and asked for the findings... I bet he didn't find much. You did good. J

    One of my latest hunts with the V3

    Man, thanks for the eye candy... there is nothing like an old homesite, especially one like this. It looks as if it has never been hunted. Only problem with it is the let down when you can't find another one to hunt, laff. I bet you could keep pulling targets out of that place for as long as...

    How does the V3(i) do in iron?

    Yes... you can set the recovery delay to match the speed of that kind of detector. I believe the setting is about 45... but you can set it to recover even faster if you want or you can set it to recover really slow if there isn't much in the ground but targets may be deep... then you can adjust...

    How does the V3(i) do in iron?

    Lots of small iron and iron ore here too. I have two machines that have a reliable VDI number at depth, like over 8", the V3 is one of them. I have no problem hunting iron with it. You just have to be patient and take the time to learn how to set it uo. The V3 stands on it's own but it it can...
