    Learning the V3i

    Your right this Site is about 15 Acres which is very big. It has not been maintained for a long time. This means the Stubble left from the Shredder is 6" high in a lot of places and the Stubble is actually small trees that were cut with the Shredder. This was an old School, Fair Grounds, then a...

    Learning the V3i

    That may be part of my problem I thought a ground tracking value of 5 was extremely fast. I knew i needed to slow it down but apparently I was going the wrong way.

    Learning the V3i

    I try to target a RX of at least 10-12 TXB is off I try to use 10 band Pass but usually wind up using 12 High. I never use MM. I use 3 Freq, Best data, Consitency set about 25-30, and i swing fast. I like to use my SEF 10X12. My ground is low minerals. I always have high trash. I hunt old...

    Learning the V3i

    One thing really jumped out at me. I saw your tracking speed was 5. I noticed the factory default was 25 and Max out much higher. I have not tried anything that fast. I do like to listen to my Threshold. Very faint but there. My problem is I get a lot of false signals then when I slow down they...

    Learning the V3i

    Thanks you are right on. I actually changed my RD last night have not tried it yet. Tracking speed I am not sure of. I was thinking it was too fast and changed it to real slow. Last night I was getting all kinds of false signals and eventually switched to SALT and that seemed to solve it. I will...

    Learning the V3i

    I hunted most of the day today and did not find Squat. Not even a zinc penny. I was very seriously considering trading for an etrac. Got home and taped a Penny (Zinc) and a Nickle to my Wife's size 7 Flip Flop. I disconnected my Coil and started playing with settings. The reason I used a Zinc is...

    Back to the "Gold Chain" Site...

    Hey good deal. I found a Dr Pepper token in the field near my House. I believe it is 1900 don't remember. "Good for one Free Drink of Dr. Pepper when presented to any Dealer" Looks kinda like a Quarter on front.

    Opinions on Raptor

    I watched a couple videos where a guy was using a Raptor digger. Turns out these are not real plentiful. It may be the price not sure. I decided to just bite the bullet and buy one at $72.00 shipped. Did I waste my money. Never liked the standard Lesche diggers.

    Opinion stubble false blips

    Same problem here "It has been raining for Days." It was dark here today at 4:30 PM no time at all after work. So I have been going stir crazy. Going to try the 6X10 in my Favorite spot as soon as I can. Hopefully the grass will start falling over. Those false blips are not that much of a...

    Finds from my Old Site

    As long as I can read the date I am good. Hopefully I will never be in a situation where I will have to sell my finds. Unless there is Hundreds of dollars involved these coins are worth far more to me to show to the Kids and Grand Kids. My favorite tactic with the Kids is to ask them what was...

    Interesting Test

    I know these air tests can be very Subjective but I wanted to try something a little different. I went out in my Driveway and found a spot about two foot wide where there was no signal. There was Iron on each side about a foot from my Coil. I threw down a Nickle since they are harder to detect...

    Thanks Squirrel. I think you know the condition and it is poor at best, but you can read the date.

    Opinion stubble false blips

    Yep the Stubble is bad but which is best lowering regular sensativity or Dicr Sensativity on the V3i?

    Opinion stubble false blips

    What is your opinion to cut down on false blips caused by stubble. Cut down sensativity or Disc Sensitivity?

    Depth how do you measure

    I hear so much about Depth, but how do you measure? For most people it is how deep in the ground do you find coins, but is this really fair to the detector. I have been hunting a place where there is Stubble created by a Shredder. This is not close cut leaving it 4-5 inches to the ground in a...

    V3i 9" coil

    I hated the stock D2 Coil traded it off quick. I now have several coils. These are must haves 4X6, 6X10, and the I use 99% of the time is the Detech 10X12. I have the Concentric but really never use it.
