    V3i: Menu > Sensitivity Setting > "Discrimination" and "All Metal"

    Don't want to side line this thread but doesn't this work for any coil (4x6, 5.3, etc.)??

    Hunting in sand

    I am still exploring how to spot these problems using Ground Probe. I would expect the VDIs to be pushed more toward zero (less negative) if salt is involved. For example Normal -94 soil would be in the -80s if salty. Tell me if I am way off base.

    Hunting in sand

    What effects show up it you are having salt interference? The reason I ask it because we hunt an area that the river water is alkali/salty that deposited the sand bars we hunt.

    I Think I Need A Smaller Coil

    I have both 4x6DD and the 5.3 concentric coil. The 5.3 being the newest in the arsenal and have used it only on two hunts and time will tell. I seem to be getting deeper targets with the 5.3.

    What am I doing wrong?

    From the live Sensitivity menu I press Enter and the three Sensitivity boxes come up. Ok and they can be altered with the arrows. I press the Zoom/View at this point and the expanded Sensitivity screen comes up. Here is the problem --- the PROBE box on the right side of the menu is...

    Rechargeable Wireless headphone batteries

    I use the same NiMH batteries for the head phones in a 4 battery charger. They are at 1.46v when I take them out for a starting pair of 2.92 volts.

    45-70 Case Markings

    I was metal detecting near Fort Davis and found a number of 45-70 cases but none have any markings on the head except this one. I am curious what they indicate. I assume the 80 on the right is probably the last two digits of 1880 and even that could be wrong. Anyone out there trying to...

    Rechargeable Wireless headphone batteries

    All the rechargeable NiMH batteries are rated at 1.2 volts x 8 = 9.6 volts which is the same as NiCad. I charge my 8 pack to 11.44 volts and after a week of just sitting around they will still read over 10 volts. I use the Energizer 2300mAh NiMH in my head phones and they will last several...

    VX3 batteries

    Since I got my V3i for Fathers Day I have been trying to read all the old threads and contribute if I can. I use rechargeable since it does not place hundreds of dead batteries into the landfills. Being a geologist it is an environmental thing :smile: but cost is a factor too but only...

    The true meaning of "Filters"

    Every hunting ground is different and the number of choices for a new V3i user can be overwhelming even for an old dog like me. I was trying to narrow down the starting points to increase your first time hunting luck. It appears to me that if you are detecting in any area that has

    The true meaning of "Filters"

    Thanks Rob your answer does help. I was hung up on the Hertz and was thinking more along the lines of a transmitter-receiver-coils types of filters. Modern metal detectors being a mix of transmitter/receiver (analog) and computer (digital) I was trying to understand where the filtration...

    Quattros and the surf

    I hear the Quattro works fantastic on the beach but how water resistant are they? Can you work the surf without fear of getting the unit wet?
