    Colors !!

    Yes, like detecting - football is fun as well. Good luck in the Super Bowl this year! Oh, I'm sorry you're not in it. The Pro Bowl was your bowl this year. Hehe All kidding aside enjoy the big game regardless like me. Both my teams are out but it is still the BIG GAME and fun to watch. The...

    Retiring garrett gti2500 ..buying v3i

    Ditto on that. I got back into the hobby early last year with a used GTI 2500. We had fun together and found alot of clad, but not much else. I sold it and moved up to a used V3+i (upgraded V3) and I have not looked back except to reminise. I counted up at the end of the year (2011) and in 9...

    Standing Liberty Quarter and a question

    Howdy, This was a little odd - I was detecting in an old park in the Los Angeles area near the ocean last Thursday after work. I have hunted this same park a couple times a week for months. It only gives up modern coinage and a few silver rings to date, with the oldest coins being 1960's...

    Weekend Hunt with the V3 - The homecoming

    Nice video and congrats on the finds. I found my first standing liberty Thursday night and I did not even know it!! You see, all the coins that I pull out of the soil here in the Los Angeles area have a dark copper color. Even silver coins if they have been in the ground any time at all. So I...

    Learning about V3i

    Bob, It was great meeting you Friday and my wife has already chalked up a few finds with the Ace 250. Thanks it was a great deal. You have the source for V3/V3i/VX3 info. There are some very nice folks here and they really know their hardware. If you have questions, it is a safe bet you will...

    Eclipse 5.3 coil, cover, rod, for Spectra V3, DFX, MXT, and M6

    This is an unused V rated 5.3 coil, rod, coil cover, washers, nut, bolt and rubber washers. When I got my V3i I bought it with the stock 10DD, a 4x6 shooter coil, and this coil. I have learned that this coil is not the best choice for my soil so I am sticking with the 10DD and 4x6. I have never...

    My 10DD is dying I am sorry to say.

    The coil arrived over the weekend. Once again Whites was jiffy quick!! I popped it on last night and hit an old lightly used park I have been hitting for months. Considering the low traffic in this old park and the amount of time I have spent covering in the past few months the returns have...

    A question about the material in the reference links

    Just a quick question about the target picture and accompanying spreadsheet. First an foremost - thanks to the author for the effort and valuable data. And now my question - when I look over the targets labeled (C1 - C15, G1-12 and so on) I do not understand why most of the readings indicate...

    My 10DD is dying I am sorry to say.

    Well I just got off the phone with Whites support and they confirmed what I already suspected - my 10DD is on it's way out of service. And once again, Whites stepped up and are putting a new one in the mail in the morning. Look folks, support really does not get any better than that I am here to...

    New After Market Battery Coming out !!

    Li-Ion are the standard in laptop and most portable electronics that require ultra long life, and moderate power demands. And I am referring to products where long battery life is an actual selling point, unlike the V3i. I would use my V3 if I had to change the batteries every hour but I do not...

    Found a keepsake for a local park user.

    One important point I neglected to add. This is not in the shape of an actual 3D bone. It is more like and actual dog's collar tag shaped like a bone. I had someone ask me privately about this and I wanted to be clear. Another point is, when I mentioned detector sizing I was taking about my GTI...

    invisible fence

    So I guess the question remains; did your XLT recover from the bout with mental illness :blink: or did you have to seek professional help for it? :rofl: The Shark

    invisible fence

    I have a shock collar from one of those setups he can use to test. :lol: My dogs didn't care for it (or about it) too much! My big chow just laughed off the shock and strolled past the boundry at his normal casual pace. :surprised: The dude is a real bulldozer when he wants to be. Must be those...

    Whites support is 2nd to NONE!

    The phones arrived on Thursday and were brand spankin new!! They were sealed in plastic and had two fresh batteries sealed up in there with them. Way too cool Whites! I packed up the old phones over the weekend and my wife will drop them by the Post Office this afternoon with the prepaid...

    Found a keepsake for a local park user.

    I was detecting in a park a few months back and a man with a couple dogs walked up and asked me about detecting. We stood there and talked so long that the dogs got impatient and he had to go put them in his Explorer and come back to finish out chat. That day I was using my Garrett GTI 2500 but...

    How deep does it go.... Lets hear it

    How about a wheatie at 9" on it's edge. One swing it would say dime, and another would come up copper cent. I cut the plug, grabbed a couple digs of dirt and there it was, about 20% of the edge sticking out in the bottom of the hole. Makes me wonder how the V3 saw it with so little reflective...

    Whites support is 2nd to NONE!

    Yep they really seemed to care. You will not be sorry if you go with a Whites machine. The work well, last forever, and if there is an issue you know there is a solid company behind it that puts you first!! That speaks volumes....... I am not saying there are not other great detectors out...

    All I can say is WOW!!

    I came across a Garrett GTA 350 on Thursday for $40. I did a little research on it, grabbed the phone and begged the man to hold it until I could come by and pick it up on Friday afternoon. He agreed and took down his classified posting and I was by his house to pick it up around 5:15 on Friday...

    V3i and mobile phone.

    I wear T shirts with a single chest pocket for my phone. I find it helps to keep the screen safe from keys and other abuse in pants pockets. I have not had a single issue with my Verizon Android phone with one lone exception. While probing in a hole one in a while the pocket would get close...
