    The V3 is a battery eating machine!!!

    I had this weird issue about a week ago. Took the battery out of the charger, installed it and headed out to hunt. Within an hour the battery was dead (4V) and the detector shut down. No TX boost, backlight on 1, headphone transmitter on 5. popped in the Alk's and went back to hunting. I...

    I need a new set of headphones any suggestions ?

    I love the wirless headphones and I have a huge head. I was so sure I would hate them so almost didn;t get them. My dealer assured me they were comfy and I'm glad I got them. For the people who think they aren;t deep enough - someone used to make sheepskin pads to cover the inside of the...

    Why should I....

    A flop? :lmfao: You know, I'm really getting tired of reading posts bashing the V3 from people who don't take the time to learn the machine. Now we gotta read one from someone who's never owned one and probably never even used one. It seems some people expected the V3 to be an easy button -...

    Pinpointing with the DD Coil

    Nice finds! I'm not sure it will make a huge difference but try running correlate rather than best data.

    Pinpointing with the DD Coil

    Mine pinpoints between where the rod attaches and the D2 sticker (just in front of the rod). Since the field of detection is more blade shaped than a concentric coil on shallow targets I find it quickest to pinpoint side to side and then do a quick 90 degree pinpont. I can do the 90 degree...

    Super12 Coil and the V3

    I'm thinking that will be my first coil. I'm wondering if I'll see any improvement though since I live in CA where the soil is highly mineralized. The DD coils usually run deeper around here.

    Signagraph question

    I've done lots of air testing with the V and I can say it's not very reliable (not a very good indication of how the V works in a real hunt situation).

    Here's a new one for ya....has anyone else noticed that you can't see the display while wearing polarized sun glasses? :spin:

    yep, my fish finder aswell. BUT, I'm not experiencing this with the V3 - at least with the sunglasses I wear detecting. I think some polarized glasses are okay, maybe it's the angle of the glass as it relates to your face? . Another area I have an issue is my truck. I have a heated windshield...

    Silver Wings

    I thought this thread would be about Mercs. The first signal I ever dug was a 1919 Merc (with a borrowed XLT). I was hooked! I've dug hundreds of mercs since but this one is still the nicest looking coin as far as toning etc.

    Thanks Rob. Such an obvious solution never occured to me.

    *** GETTING CONCERNED NOW !!!! ***

    Oh, I also agree with your level of frustration you should consider a 950 coil. I don't think it's a better coil per se but I think you'd be more familiar with it cutting in half the learning curve that is frustrating you. Learn the 950 coil and then go back to the DD because I beleiev in the...

    *** GETTING CONCERNED NOW !!!! ***

    I few notes. Assuming you don't have a test bed in the area you are hunting ask your friend to call you over next time he thinks he's over a silver. Tweak your machine until you can hear it best. This may take awhile. Once you do this walk up on it as if you are detecting and see what kind of...

    Library

    So what you're saying is all factory programs are backed up in the library so it's okay to delete the copy in the main program menu? and if I ever need to program just access it through the library.

    Library

    I'm guessing we can't put factory programs into the library? Many of these programs I will never/very rarely use. I'd like to shorten the list.

    Location

    I was in a rush out the door on my last post. I should have added that our local soil I consider pretty mineralized. My XLT would reach maybe 6.5 on a good day. Maybe someone more proficient with it could go a little deeper. On occasion we take road trips out of the local area and head north and...

    Who is getting deep (coins at 8 inches) and how are you doing it?

    Short answer: Out of the box yes. Somewhere on this forum theres a quote from Jimmy Sierra talking about the V3 and how it's defaults are not "wimpy" settings as with previous machines. Usually whites ships with tamer settings so that the detector is stable everywhere. I do know it can be...

    Who is getting deep (coins at 8 inches) and how are you doing it?

    Well said. I consider myself above average in skill with a detector but my best friend is what I would call expert. Just last night he schooled me using his explorer. I could hear every coin he called me over to but he dug many more deep signals including a couple of indians in the 8+ inch...
