    Mars sniper Coil & Sef

    The Mars coil does look interesting. Love to hear if anybody have any direct experience comparing the 6x10 Mars with the 8x6 SEF, or the White's 6x10. As we all know, coils each have their own "personalities" and frequently have very different performance. The White's 6x10 coil is very...

    MXT All-Pro - still new-in-the-box, never used

    This is the latest MXT All-Pro version with the D2 coil. I bought this as a backup to my older MXT non-pro thinking I might upgrade eventually or need a backup, but I've been so happy with my old MXT, I've never needed it or bothered switching. It has never been used, never even been out of the...

    Just got a V3i

    Mine clean clicked too but a combination of squeezing the cuff tighter and really tightening down the thumbscrew extra made it go away. Been years now and it hasn't returned. Congrats on the new V3i!

    A lucky find

    Nice! Just curious, what VDI # did the cross come in at, and is it 14K?

    How to fit a coil cover on a 4x6 shooter coil?

    I recently bought a new White's 4x6 Shooter coil for my V3i and MXT. I never bothered with a coil cover on my old shooter coil, but for this new one I treated it to a coil over to keep it looking new. The coil cover slips loosely over the coil but doesn't 'snap' into place like all the other...

    V3i VS. VX3

    I had both, first a V3i, then a VX3, then back to a V3i. They are both excellent detectors and identical except for the software. The VX3 is just as powerful as the V3i, but with fewer adjustments. The problem with the VX3, for me anyway, is that it lacks a few adjustments I can't live...

    Going from DFX to V3i

    I had a DFX before the V3i The V3i is actually very similar to the DFX in the way it works, it's just updated and improved with a third frequency, color screen, a lot more adjustments, but also a better faster user interface. If you are familiar with the DFX, the V3i should be very similar in...

    Help With Coil Selection For V3i

    I too have all the coils for my V3i and I agree the White's 6x10 would be the best mid-sized coil to get. It's got good coverage and good separation, so it can be used effectively in all but the trashiest places. It's also very stable and plays very well with the V3i. I also have the Detech...

    Question on the spectragraph in practical use

    Just to clarify, we're talking the horizontal pinpoint bars not the spectragraph. Isn't the spectragraph on the regular search screen with the little vertical bars fr each frequency that correspond with the VDI number? I use the spectragraph to see how consistent the target VDI is, especially...

    First time out with new V3I

    Depends on what you want to do. The Ultimate 13" is a great coil, but it is still big and hangs up on stuff other than manicured grass. For deep coins in parks and yards when there isn't a ton if trash, it's perfect. That's what I use on my V3i when I'm looking for the deep stuff. Can't say...

    First time out with new V3I

    Very nice! Looks like you figured out your new V3i. It's really not as complicated as many people say, just take it easy with all the settings until you get them figured out over time. It's a vert powerful detector. Like you said, the 3 frequency pinpoint is awesome.

    FS: XL Pro tone mod kit

    This is the famous and hard-to-find Mrand tone mod kit for the XL Pro. This is the final and best version 3.0. Works great for slowly crawling along in GEB S.A.T. or TR Disc and hearing the different tones so you don't have to stare at the meter. (I had this in my XL Pro but felt I really...

    Riddle me this....What does 6, 15, 19, 27, 57 have in common?

    Mike, thanks for the tips. The really cool observation, for me anyway, is that the V3i is already "pre"-balanced in each of the three single frequency modes if you've already balanced it in three-frequency mode. I guess then after checking in a single frequency, you can go right back to three...

    After two years and a dozen detectors now have a v3i again

    That's great. Welcome back! I just did the same thing. There's just something about the V3i that appeals to the nerd part of our brains. It may not be the deepest or fastest, but learning the V3i sure makes you understand detectors better. And having all those adjustments and displays is...

    Cajuncoinhunter is a great guy :clapping:

    Cajuncoinhunter recently sold me a pristine MXT All-Pro. It came exactly as he described it (new in the box), was shipped to me within a day of him receiving payment, was packed well, and throughout the whole process he kept me updated. A private transaction for a metal detector couldn't have...

    New V3i User

    Mike is spot on. The 9" concentric is a very good coil to learn on. It's stable, id's well, and has a nice symmetrical pattern that is straightforward and easy to visualize. And it's a good general purpose size. You will want to add a small coil eventually and then you'll be set. The 5.3...

    New V3i User

    Hi Rodney and welcome to V3i ownership! #1 piece of advice, don't get too crazy with adjustments until you really get to know your machine. Start with the preset programs and gradually start tweaking one or two adjustments and don't move on to other adjustments until you fully understand the...

    For Sale: White's XLT

    One owner White's Spectrum XLT in very good condition. It's not "like new" it shows minor wear here and there, but it is in really great shape and was well cared for it's whole life. I bought this detector new in 1995 from Whittaker Electronics in Dallas and used it along with my 6000 Di Pro...

    13 inch detech vs D2

    I have both and find the 13" Ultimate to be a bit deeper, by maybe a half of an inch. However, I also find that the 12x10 SEF separates a little better. I usually end up using the 12x10 SEF because I feel the separation advantage is a little more important than absolute depth. That said, the...

    Air test vs actual depth

    There should be a difference, although it may be less than what you'd expect. Suggest trying again and being very careful and methodical. Place the coil well away from anything metal, use a plastic or wooden ruler and hold the end perpendicular against the bottom center of the coil. Wave the...
