    Polar Plot

    Ok, I have been experimenting some and decided to try the polar plot on the analyze screen. I went into my menu and changed it back from pinpoint meter to polar plot and then went out in my back yard. I had my 6x10 eclipse coil, rxg 7, all metal 55, disc 75, recovery 45 and was in my coin and...

    Sun Ray DX-1 Invader probe for V3i

    Oh, yeah, I agree on location. I got the XLT 20 yrs ago, did not know anything and found the forums. I printed out the programs and put them on my XLT. They were not even close, even with them I did not find anything worthwhile. I put the XLT in the closet and 2 yrs ago I got talked into...

    Sun Ray DX-1 Invader probe for V3i

    Thanks, Larry and I do agree that experience is the best teacher. I have only had it 2 days, but I have taken it out and I have already picked up a couple of suggestions in reading the posts on the forum here and on White's. Since we have to run our gain and disc so low here, what I have seen...

    Sun Ray DX-1 Invader probe for V3i

    I just got an inline DX-1 Invader probe from Sun Ray. Does anyone with a V3i on the forum here use one? I would appreciate a little more insight into getting the maximum benefits from this probe. My understanding is that when you are detecting and you pinpoint a target and dig the hole, then...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    Larry, you are right. The V3i in my opinion is the best detector out there!! It is also very confusing. I have had mine 2 years now and I don't think I will ever stop learning new things about it. There are so many different settings and such that it makes the machine very versatile, but it...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    not to be arguing any more that we all are anyway, how would I know what is in a VX3 book if I have a V3i?? Why would I even download the VX3 pdf file if I have a V3I? I realize it could be another "source" of information, but I have a V3i and everything I need to know about it SHOULD be in...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    Ok, since this was my post to start with, let me state my understandings and concerns as to answering my original question first. When you arrow over to Sensitivity on the Live Menu, and press ZOOM, the RX gain, Txboost, all metal and disc shows up along with the live menu that has a box to...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    PostalTwo, that is the way I understood it too. The lower you keep it, the better signals you are going to get.

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    Rob, so what the person that had the video was saying was that the signal should be 20% or less and if it was over that, you could adjust your filters to clean it up a bit more. So, is this guys rendition wrong? Could you elaborate a little on what it is actually telling me. What if the...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    ok, been playing more with the situation. when you have Sensitivity in the Live Controls and you arrow over to it and then press ZOOM, then the two menus pop up. However, if you arrow down, you will see that the Probe menu disappears when you arrow down a couple of times. If you continue to...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    never mind, I found it. If you have Rx gain checked under live controls, I think it was, it does not show the probe screen part.

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    watched a video and the guy arrowed over to sensitivity on the live menu and pressed zoom and shows the gain, all metal and disc on the left and on the right it shows signal loss and noise. How do you get the V3i to show the signal loss and noise?? All I get is the left side pop up of gain...

    :clapping: customer service

    Ditto on the fact that Mary sent me a replacement set of earmuffs after mine cracked like they were 10 yrs old. Evidently, she said they had a problem with some a couple years ago and they changed material after that. White's is the best in taking care of their customers!!!

    Texas A&M belt buckle

    I found this Texas A&M belt buckle today and it is about 1" tall by 2.5 inches wide. I have found some on the internet that were similar in design, but Texas was in a white banner and Aggies was in a maroon banner, whereas this one has TEXAS AGGIES in a maroon background. The back has JENKINS...

    Button help

    I found a button the other day that is brass, about the size of a penny and unfortunately minus the whole back. It has a sort of shield in front with a wreath type design like a horseshoe around it. At the top is a banner that has some writing on it that appears to be Latin. I can make out...

    Detech 13" Ultimate DD coil for White's V3i

    after more detecting, I had another strange thing happen with a kind of delayed very low tone after I passed over a good VDI reading target. I would sweep back over the area and the very low or ghost type tone would not return. Then I would continue searching and it would do it again. This...

    Program Question?

    Rob, You are right again...I had a little brain failure and I don't know why, but got it mixed up with the XLT that I have. I know now from using the V3I that I start with stock and make changes on the fly and like you said WITHOUT SAVING, but just turning the machine off, the next time I go to...

    Program Question?

    my understanding is that the Library programs are there forever, they can never be changed. If you make changes to a program that is one of the factory programs and then save it, that is what you will get everytime you load that from the block menu. When you make changes to any program, lets...

    Coil size and battery life using V3i

    Does using a larger coil...ie, 13" Detech Ultimate versus my normal 4x6 or 6x10 cause the battery to run down quicker? I am using a V3i. Typically here in West Texas, I will go search for a couple hours or maybe 3 hours and go home. Then the next day, I can go again for the same length of...

    I restored my C&J Mode and

    double click menu to get to expert menu, push enter on expert menu, go down to Audio and push enter, then go to Pinpoint Audio and pick VCO instead of Ratchet and you are good to go.
