    RX Gain & Discrimination

    That is my understanding also... RX only amplifies what you are already hearing. Disc sensitivity helps you gain depth... HOWEVER... I have seen the V3 do fine with the disc sens set on 20 and the RX turned up to 13 or 14. I can rarely get the RX stable on 15 even with the disc sens on 20 but I...

    F75... disc=6; 1 tone... interesting...

    I have read here and there about using the F75 LTD or regular with disc=6 and 1 tone for hunting iron infested sites or hunted out iron infested sites or just plain hunted out sites... I finally grasped why. I cannot claim credit, I was reading some reviews and someone explained it.. that...

    Iphone app

    Write one... but not for the iphone, for Droid.I don't have either, i've used a Blackberry for several years but I see what poor service AT&T has with my daughter's iphone... it drops calls all the time and we live in metro Atlanta. I'm thinking Droid on the Verison network might have better...

    first time out tomorrow

    I haven't upgraded yet but I don't think they will do anything that will make it more stable than it is in the stock "coins" program. Next time find a target at medium depth but a good audio hit even if the numbers jump. Then try the three single frequencies with an offfset of +2. Usually 7.5...

    Comparing the V3 to the V3i - What should I be looking for?

    I'm not really cool with the balance, and I am sure that is completely a thing that is unique to me and my back... but I love the colors and curvy lines. Maybe it's a "guy thing" I don't know but the V3 (as I have said before) is the sexiest machine I have ever used. It is beguiling. J

    Comparing the V3 to the V3i - What should I be looking for?

    I wonder if upgrading to the i for 125.00 will bring in an extra 150.00 for the V3i over the V3 or if it would just be a wash. I am giving mine a little more time, once it isn't near 100 degrees outside... but if I don't start liking it more real soon I am going to be thinking of letting it go...

    Some thoughts on the beach....

    First off it is HOT in Florida in late July, too hot. I'd rather sit on the balcony in the shade and do research with the binoculars. I hunted a little. We went to Mexico Beach, FL. I took three machines. The SovereignGT, F75 LTD, and White's V3. First I tried the V3 and really wasn't...

    Is there anything simple that I can check on my T2 to try and fix it?

    Just before I went on vacation it died, just would not turn on one fine day. I switched the batteries from the F75 I had with me (I was at a friend's home testing some machines on a deep minnie he has had buried for 21 years). Anyway, I tried yesterday to remove the battery holder but the wires...

    V3 at the beach.... mixed feelings and back pain

    I may try one but really I have little problem with the V3 for park and lawn hunting... it's just when I have to keep the coil lifted... besides the SovereignGT does a better job on the beach IMO... others may disagree. I am thinking of asking Carl or someone else at White's to help me with some...

    V3 at the beach.... mixed feelings and back pain

    Yeah, I thought we were going to get some erosion from TD Bonnie but it seems to have fallen apart, still there will be some storms today and maybe tides a little higher than usual, there looked to be a few places where the water had come up on the dry sand more than usual. I've only seen two...

    WELL, HAD to SEND MY V3i IN TODAY......

    Bob was "out of commission" a couple of weeks ago. Some surgery I think but I bet he is back at it now. I was going to drive mine over to White's SE for the upgrade but I think i'll just wait and ship it when I get home. J

    Spending some time at Mexico Beach, FL....

    The short and sweet of it is that there is nothing like a SovereignGT on a beach... next machine I am getting will be an Excalibur. I am convinced that it would be the perfect compliment for the GT. GT for dry sand and wet sand... Excal for surf and water. I have three machines with me the GT, a...

    V3 at the beach.... mixed feelings and back pain

    I tried it in both the dry sand and in the surf and wet sand using a V-rated 950 coil. It worked very well in the dry sand but was a little jumpy in and out of the water. I was using a modified salt program. I could run the disc sens in the 80s and the RX gain a little higher than I usually can...

    Hunting at the beach this week...

    Well, I really wouldn't call it hunting. I've spent a couple of hours out on the surfline and in the dry sand. First I tried the V3, it was ok in the surf. I could run the disc sens on 88 +- and the RX gain on 10-12 but it would make a little noise going in and out of the water. It worked ok on...

    Do you take the chance of leaving your V3 in a hot trunk to use after work?

    I carry my V3, E-TRAC, and F75 LTD and others in my truck ALL the time. It is an extended cab. I've been doing it for over 10 years with multiple detectors with no problems. I may as well give up the hobby if I have to go home and get a machine everytime I want to hunt. As far as heat on a...

    Alas... my T2 died. (moment of silence please)

    Yesterday I was at a friend's home. He has a minnie buried at 10". It's been there for 21 years and was testing a few machines on it. FWIW, the E-TRAC had , IMO, the best ID and gave a correct depth. The ET sounded off MUCH better in conductive sounds. I may well have walked over the target in...

    10dd test results and filter question

    I think you and Larry have it nailed. I set up a little differently only because I naturally swing a little on the slow side (I am not worried about losing depth from swinging too fast). Anyway, I find a deeper target and set the filter using my default swing speed instead of setting the filter...
