    no loonies or quarters

    I was testing my V3i one day and noticed that a Canadian quarter I had In my pocket came up as iron! You'll have to lower your iron discrimination to pick these up. It seems that most of the stock programs will null out over that. I was surprised. I figured Canadian coins were of similar...

    Awesome Mike! Can't wait to see what you get with the V3i. Good luck :)

    New V3i on the way!!

    I love my V3i ! So far it's really been a pleasure to hunt with. Very deep seeker, with so many ways to look at a target and decide what's worth digging. I have had the Etrac, T2, F75, and many others. The V3i can run with them all, no problem. I just purchased a new power house from another...

    Bad Coil

    Whites customer service is the best IMHO ! They take good care of their customers for sure, and that's the reason I know my V3I will be around for a long time :)

    Doing well with my vx3

    Glad to hear you are doing well with the VX3 :) I'm also very impressed with my V3i. The depth on these machines is very hard to beat, and I haven't had any trouble keeping up with any of the guys I detect with. Frankly, it's usually the other way around! I also love passing up on all those zinc...

    ground balance for salt water

    Yea, I would agree not to venture out too deep into the water. I mostly detect any water filled low spots on the beach, not actually out in the surf.With these spots, I work them very slow and try not to scrub the bottom as this will cause some false signals. The V3i is way to nice of a machine...

    ground balance for salt water

    Here are some of the finds. The large ring is one of those new Tungsten Carbides that are starting to turn up frequently. It looks to have a small CZ.

    ground balance for salt water

    To tell the truth, or maybe it's obvious :), I haven't used the V3i on the beach hardly at all. Last weekend I was at Myrtle Beach. SC, and was testing out my V at the edge of the surf. In the stock beach program I was hitting on an eight inch deep quarter I buried, but the VDI was very...

    ground balance for salt water

    When I was in the water, I had some false signals of +1 on the VDI. In the rapidly moving surf this is hard to deal with. One thing you could try is raising your ground filter, and be sure you do not scrub the coil on the bottom, as this will also give bad signals. In standing pools of salt...

    ground balance for salt water

    Be sure and set you ground tracking to salt as well. This expands the ground balance range, and then you can trac lock that setting. If you move to a different surface, just do another quick manual balance. You should be able to run in three frequency salt, with no problems. I was just running...

    V3i on salt beach

    I'll be posting a quick vid on my channel sometime this week. The beaches I detected weren't eroded at all, but I did learn quite a bit :)

    V3i on salt beach

    I just got back from South Carolina,and had a good time with the V3i at the beach. It took me a while to get good performance on the wet sand, but I eventually worked it out. It killed it in the dry sand. I found one of those heavy Tungsten Carbide rings at around a foot deep, in the wet sand I...

    Just Picked up a v3i off of craigslist dirt cheap any tips?

    $ 400 is one heck of a deal. My advice would be to start off in the stock programs if you are new to the V3i. If you are comfortable with that, I'd bump the RX gain up a point or two, and lower the ground filter if your soil permits. The V3i really gets good depth even at lower settings, so you...

    Wayfarer is great to deal with !

    I just wanted everyone to know that Wayfarer is an honest man. I had a very smooth transaction. I would not hesitate to purchase another machine from him in the future. Thank you Wayfarer for the beautiful V3i. It is in perfect condition, just as described :) Gene

    WTT: AR 15 For Minelab

    I'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone is interested. I have this very nice Rock River AR, that I would like to trade. It has less than 500 rounds through it. It runs fantastic, but I live in the city limits, no gun clubs in town, so I seldom get to use it. AR's are hard to find...

    My first Seated Liberty Quarter with the Omega

    Wow, what a day. I took the Omega out after work for a short hunt. I asked for permission to detect an old ball field next to a church. I'm glad I did :) I had the 11 inch DD on the Omega. I ran in disc mode: 1, 99 sensitivity. There was a ton of iron, so I wanted to hear it all and try and pick...
