    A request to Tekenetics and FT re: the G2

    Hey guys... this is just my opinion. Some others may feel differently but I really like that the T2 is green instead of black like so many other detectors. I hope you are able to produce the G2 in green also... if not black will be fine... just PLEASE... no camo. I have been toying with buying...

    Gold Bug SE or G2 ???

    I mostly relic hunt but sometimes I do general detecting but almost always at sites that have been in use for 100+ years. Sometimes in yards of homes built in the 1930s and 40s. A almost never hunt playgrounds or places that hold only newer coins... HOWEVER, with this GB/G@ I may be spending a...

    Spectra V3i comparison to F75 and E-Trac first post

    Steve, The only one of the three I would consider recommending for anyone getting their first machine would be the E-_ _C. It is the most user friendly of the three and it still can be overwhelming if you try to hunt in multitones and conductive sounds. If you get it just stay in...

    V3 Beach use.

    So where do you set your disc on the - end? I will guess -20. Before I restored C&J I had it set on -30 and I may go back down there but I am going to change things slowly. I guess a "custom/shifted" tone scheme might be something to try... shifting the low tone to kick in at -11 and the high...

    v3i gives very inaccurate depth readings

    Thanks Anne, I didn't know that. Locking pinpoint is a good function because sometimes if I hold the toggle too long I begin to apply more and more pressure on it . Locking pinpoint is a much better idea, if I need to use pinpoint for more than a few swings. There are so many functions on the...

    V3 Beach use.

    Why -10 and up? Isn't everything below 0 iron? Are you considering a target being down averaged by iron or mineral? I am going to the FL panhandle beach later this summer... going to borrow a friends 950 for the trip... I have always used either the SovereignGT or T2 at the beach but am looking...

    Good stuff, thanks! J

    v3i gives very inaccurate depth readings

    Pump the coil straight up and down, keeping it even with the plane of the ground.. make sure that there is no metal under the coil. 4 pumps means nothing... pump it until it sounds stable when it rises and lowers. You may never get it perfectly quiet but you will be able to tell the difference...

    I have come to the conclusion that the V3 can easily be messed up by tweaking...

    I think I am going to stay close to the factory settings for a while, just GB, change the Filter and possibly the Recovery. If I set a program for minimal disc I will try Shifted tone. Other than that... i'm going to just hunt. I think having "tone ID" on was confusing me, it isn't that becomes...

    I have come to the conclusion that the V3 can easily be messed up by tweaking...

    Mine had become really unstable and no fun to use, especially in C&J... which should be a good "go to" program. Yesterday PM I went out in the yard long enough to restore C&J from the library and I like it so much better now. I don't know what I did to mess it up so badly but I think the main...

    How high can I run the disc on the F75 LTD without running the risk of missing some nice gold?

    Yesterday I was at a churchyard, mostly digging clad and a few wheaties. Got a button, a couple of rivets, and a pin of some sort. I tried to use a V3 but it was just frustration. I tried my Sovereign and it worked fine but was a bit heavy and I didn't feel like chestmounting it. Used the E-TRAC...

    Why do some like the T2 better than the F75 for coin hunting?

    I used an original F75 for a few years and for a couple of years it was my main machine. The T2 was my main for a year before that. I sold the F75, kept the T2 and bought an F75 LTD when it came out. I really like the LTD but I like the T2 also. However I don't understand why anyone would...

    :whites::garrett: Kellyco selling the Daddy Coil

    I would think that a "V" nulled 6x10 would be a good coil too. I don't have one though. I have the D2, the 4x6 "shooter" (which I agree, is awesome!), the 5.3 which I don't care for, and the 8x6 SEF which I also really like. The 8x6 is deep and smooth... a bit deeper than the 4x6 and more stable...

    High VDI pennies

    That's crazy. We have fault lines here in the SE USA that don't see much activity. I think that one day we will have a major quake here like they did on the New Madrid fault that changed the course of the Mississippi. I live in Cartersville, GA and there is a line called the Cartersville...

    High VDI pennies

    You might try checking a few in 2.5 non-normalized. I guess you could try burying a dime and one of those pennies and check them against an undug one in 2.5 non-normalized. Maybe there will be a difference so you can tell. J

    High VDI pennies

    I bet earthquakes can really make for a high sink rate in that sort of soil... like what was at 2" an hour ago could be a foot deep now. I never thought about that, does that happen? J

    Took My V3i to a pounded site for a hot but short Hunt....:usan:

    This has changed using the V3 from being work to being a pleasure. Thanks! J
