    beach program question

    I was at Cape May, NJ for a week and only got to hunt for an hour. :sadwalk: Anyway, the little I did get to hunt, I found that using the salt beach program everything and I mean EVERYTHING came up with the blue frequency high in analyze. I was hunting damp sand some but mostly dry with the...

    V3 and my oldest coin

    Hey Tom! you got honorable mention! Curt talks about digging threshold breaks...but never having run an f75, I wan't sure what he meant.... I get out on a whim, usually with moments notice. Leaving in 1/2 hr for a week at Cape May...detector is going along but not sure how much I'll get to use it.

    New Whites V3 - Test Drive - V3 Story Booklet

    Crazy! I'm the first one on the what theyr'e finding page!! :detecting: If only I had waited, I've easily tripled those finds. I think that was my 3rd time out with the V3...about a 2 hr hunt.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the v3 after 90 days

    Good write up!! Don't worry about those guys, if they don't come around, they weren't really friends.... :surprised: in response to JBow... I dug 2 brass colnial buckles that had the rusted metal center thing (what is that called anyway?) and they didn't analyze well but gave excellent search...

    V3 gets deep silver

    Very nice! I love how silver comes out of the ground! :biggrin:

    V3 and my oldest coin

    If I dug any and all threshold breaks, I'd be digging tons and tons of scrap. I'm guessing you are referring to the Curtis/Tom method? Most decent signals on bullets are running right where the bullet icon shows in shallower ground-- 50's into 60's. The bad signals I'm talking about will hit in...

    V3 and my oldest coin

    My hunting partner and I had our V3's out Monday evening hunting a yard that had a LOT of activity during the battle of Gettysburg. We have pulled countless numbers of relics from this yard and had considered it hunted out having found nothing there the last 3 times with an xlt and an mxt. When...

    Firmware question

    because not all units have the problem. Mine is #25 in the serial numbers and has no issues....sure, in the winter I'm gonna send it back for the update, but not until..unless a need arises.

    So tell me...

    Urgent help for saving my vacation - New White spectra v3 detect every time

    I also just caught that you said you were hunting on a beach.... salt water or fresh water? If salt water, use the salt water program instead or add the salt compensation to the coin/jewelry

    Urgent help for saving my vacation - New White spectra v3 detect every time

    If it is quiet in the common program outside, the detector is running too sensitive in the other programs and picking up interference. From what I understand the common program is a very mild program that was originally set up to be able to demonstrate and test the unit indoors where there is a...

    Urgent help for saving my vacation - New White spectra v3 detect every time

    is the cable connection tight? try loading the common program and see if it quiets. That program was designed to test the detector as far as I know and runs quite quiet in my house

    explain "normalize"

    Thank you for the responses. That is kinda what I thought it did, thuogh the explanation here did a better job than the manual. BUT it still doesn't explain why I get a more stable reading using the single 7.5 frequency with normalize off. I just went out and double checked it...I am not...

    explain "normalize"

    By far the vast majority of my hunting is for civil war relics, so I have been attempting to do some fine tuning on my V3 to get more depth and better target ID (duh, who doesn't) I have been playing with using the 7.5 single frequency as it is supposed to hit harder on brass/copper/lead than...
