    Phantom Signals

    Don't wory about it...we all get a bit frustrated at times. It sounds like you may just have the machine running too hot. Back down the Gain/AM/Disc to around 7/60/75 (as an example), or lower, and see if the unit quiets down. You can't go deep if the detector is seeing "everything". Another...

    Phantom Signals

    Sounds like big, deep iron. How do they pinpoint? I thinks we've all seen these signals and there are a few things you can do. - Pinpoint the signal and sweep directly over it and see if it is iron...sometimes the edge of an iron signal can sound like a coin - Sweep the target from all...

    How hard is the V3 setup

    Hi BridgeHunter, You want to "hunt old houses,the beach, Pensacola and Gulf Shores, and around creek bank sandbars". I have both units and both could be set up to work well in these locations. The E would be easier to set up than the V every time. But, if you know the V you can make it shine...

    Understanding Some of the Magic of the V3's Analysis Screen

    Lol...see what a little physics in college can do to your mind? I know enough to be dangerous. Here is a great partial answer. The only thing missing is how different frequencies of light* interact with dirt, specifically. It turns out that the matter the light is traveling through is just...

    Understanding Some of the Magic of the V3's Analysis Screen

    Has anyone heard of this before, or am I a fry short of a happy meal? According to physics... longer wavelengths = less interaction with matter + less resolution shorter wavelengths = higher energy/more interaction with matter + greater resolution Visible light images are sharp and clear...

    v3 hi pro and deep silver programs

    I've used deep silver with opened up discrimination (also using no-tones instead of discrimination). It depends on how trashy the site is and how much discrimination produces the least distraction while allowing deep targets to peer through the trash. In non-trashy ground you can open it up in...

    Understanding Some of the Magic of the V3's Analysis Screen

    Thanks Jeff. That is some truly useful info. Can't wait for the book. The saying "that 2.5 is better for silver", although found to be true for some ground conditions (as you have demonstrated), is poorly understood although often stated possibly due to another reason. Longer wavelengths of...

    newbie issue, when creating programs I always seem to change what my trigger operates

    Different menu options behave differently. An item may simply turn something on/off. Some may select that option to use and open a sub-menu to display further options. Just by going into a menu to look around can inadvertently choose an option that was not intended. Basically, you need to...

    Old coils vs new ones

    Cool...thanks for the clarification.

    Old coils vs new ones

    If you make these assumptions... - Old coils fail using three frequency or 22.5 since they are not tuned for this high freq - V-rated coils are tuned for all three freqs, singly or together - Old coils are more specifically tuned for the lower freqs Together, these statements might answer...

    Using Analyze to ID Iron

    Have you seen the analyze wave pattern where the lines are all wavy?...lots of humps, or sine waves, across the board for each frequency, or one freq sometimes more wavy than the others. If I remember correctly, it was an iron target, but it could have been EMI. I need to start getting pics of...

    Slump eased up a bit this morning

    Got out for about three hours with the vee this morning. Finally, the glint of gold... Gold came in at 19, occasionally bumping up to 21. Soccer ball pendant came in as a high zinc, if I remember correctly. 925 cross ring came in a tad higher than a dime. I have hunted this park for a...

    Program spreadsheet

    I left one row populated, so I fixed it and re-pushed both files.

    Program spreadsheet

    I was a bit hasty in my reply...sorry yazoo. There is/was a .pdf version of the file, but it isn't blank. There is now a blank .xls and a blank .pdf version on the site. http://www.thebeepgoeson.com/display.asp?page=Program_SS HH! Beep

    Spectra V3 Normalization Comparison is finally here!!!

    Hmmmm....this change works with alumininum, too, right?

    Spectra V3 Normalization Comparison is finally here!!!

    Btw, I like the VDI's under the chart...helps alot...nice idea. "VDI compression is still evident in Normalized Single Frequency Modes, although it is not as apparent as in non-normalized modes." If the raw single-freqs can vary by 50 to 60 for certain targets, what is the max variance for...

    Spectra V3 Normalization Comparison is finally here!!!

    Looks very nice Neil! It's amazing the the raw freqs can vary by as much as 50 or 60...

    V3 Strikes Gold!.......AGAIN!!!:yo::super:

    ...at least in my area. Can you characterize what tipped you off to this particular target? Nice bling! :super::yo::super::yo:
