    Coinshooting action with the V3i.....

    I wish you could teach me how to run that hot with a big coil in heavy trash like that. Then I might be able to get down there where the good stuff is too.

    Rain & New Place to Hunt

    I am sure it is in the manual. I have actually been rained out twice in the last week here in Texas. Just think how easy the digging will be when it stops.

    Sensitivity Probe Disappeared

    Just something I thought I would share that I have not seen commented on before. I have been using the new 5.3 coil the last couple of days and I when I tried to use the sensitivity probe it simply was not there. I thought it might have had something to do with the coil since I had never had a...

    Park hunting - What does your trash look like?

    Many, many years ago when I used a $20 detector with 2 knobs on it I found more jewelry than I do today with a VX3. It is not the machines fault. That $20 machine forced me to dig everything. I think sometimes I spend more time now trying to determine if I should dig a target than I do...

    shiny coil, shiny quarter

    Thank you. My plan is to do the same.

    shiny coil, shiny quarter

    Just put my new 5.3 on and got silver within 30 minutes. This coil is so easy to use where I hunt. The VDI's and depth were spot on with the coins. I was able to run the rx at 10, am at 60 and disc at 75 with no problems at all. I dug a piece of copper just slightly larger than a quarter at...

    Sundays Finds

    Most of the sites I hunt are very trashy with lots of pull tabs and foil. Do you hunt such sites in relic mode? I have tried it but it just drives me nuts to listen to all that noise, but you've got me interested in trying again. Is there a secret to it?

    Major disappointment with vx3

    Well I took your recommendations and sent my VX3 back to Home Sweet Home. They confirmed that the coil was bad. (failed null test). They reset, calibrated and gave it a thorough check up as well as sent me a brand new shiny coil, all at no charge. I was surprised to say the least since I...

    Question about pinpoint mode

    I have learned that If your coil is over a target when you pull the trigger you will get silence. It may not be the target you are trying to pp. It may be a piece of trash or a target that you cant hear because it is being discriminated out. Of course this is more prone to happen at a high...

    Never too much Info

    Go online and read the vx3 manual as suggested earlier. The vx3 is basically the same machine with less settings and options, but the manual explains the workings of the machine a little better. Sorry about the typo in the previous post. (VX2).

    Never too much Info

    The vx2 online manual was what convinced me to buy it over an e-trac. I have read it many times. Twice this week in fact. I wish that was all that is required to be a master detectorist. But it's not. It takes years as we all know. That is where this forum excels. We all benefit from the...

    rx gain

    While the nuts and bolts may be right out of the manual, however the way you explain it and how you apply it to the way you hunt is not. That's what is really helpful to me. Like I stated earlier, I have read the manual many times, but some of it only makes sense when I hear someone with your...

    Major disappointment with vx3

    I have the stock 9.5 concentric coil that came with it. I am going to take it by the local dealer today and see what he has to say. Maybe he has another coil we can try.

    Todays Relics

    So your saying I need to get a 5.3! I here ya. What is the flask made of and how deep was the button? I appreciate what you had to say on my other thread. I would like to know how the 5.3 works out. I am thinking of getting that one or the 4x6 dd. Not sure yet.

    Major disappointment with vx3

    Thanks for the replies. I did buy it used but it was only about a month old and used maybe twice. I was given the original receipt of sale. I just did a quick air test with the same silver quarter. At 10 rx gain and 75 disc I got a repeatable signal at 6.5 inches. At 15 rx and 90 disc I got...

    Major disappointment with vx3

    Recently I have been trying hard to learn the secrets of the vx3, so I have been reading lots of comments on different forums and have learned a lot. One guy complained that he never dug a coin with the VX3 deeper than 3 inches and then I realized that neither have I. I have dug tons of shallow...

    rx gain

    Wow. Now I think my brain is overloaded. I really appreciate your in depth response though. I have read the manual repeatedly but I never really understood what you have so clearly explained Thanks. Most of the soil here in East Texas is sandy loam and you can crank the rx gain up, but there...

    rx gain

    Been using the vx3 for about a year now. Still have a lot to learn. What is the best and quickest way to determine what the rx gain should be set at when hunting a new site? Do you start high and then adjust down or start low and turn it up as you can, or is there a way to know exactly where...

    Fake detectors

    I appreciate the clarification. I will do as you recommend.
