    My take on the VX3

    Leo, I have learned that the Polar Plot is one of the best V3i tools when it comes to making dig/or no dig decisions. I would say 9 out of 10 times it was dead on accurate. If you see straight lines it is not trash. It may be a sprinkler head, or a bottle cap, but if it is a pull tab or foil...

    Subforum VX3

    I hope everyone understands my prior comment was just a joke and that is all. The VX has a place in the Whites lineup and it is good business to provide it. Having the VX3 in the V3/V3i forum may be a stretch. There are a multitude of questions that would be VX specific that would not apply to...

    Coils

    I have the D2, 5.3, and 4X6. The D2 is great for a stock coil and gets great coverage, but it will drive you nuts in heavy trash. And that is not the fault of the coil only the coverage footprint. Many here swear by the 5.3 as well as the dealer I bought my V3i from, and I can understand their...

    Help :)

    I got my tumbler at Harbor Freight many years back so you may want to try there. Now when it comes to the detector false indications: What part of the country are you in? I am in Southern California and would be willing to help, but it is quite a long shot that we are in the same area. If...

    VDI percent (%)

    I like the polar plot for this. If it is a quarter you will get straight lines in the following order of length GRB with Green being the longest or strongest. The V3i is so good using the analysis tools that it darn near gives you the date!! :surprised: In the case of a bottle cap the polar...

    Polar Plot

    AMEN - I have noticed when I try to grow a brain and dig a target the V3 via the PP has told me is trash I normally end up saying "wow a bottle cap (or other trash) yes V3, you were right and I was wrong to doubt you." It really is an outstanding machine and every day I get better and better...

    The "V" is getting the job done - got a ring last night!

    Thanks Larry. It would be great if you are right, but I do not see any marking in the ring and I was so beat last night when I got in that I did not clean the ring up and look closely. Judging by the design I would guess it is not white gold. Let's just say I would never buy a ring that looks...

    The "V" is getting the job done - got a ring last night!

    As you all know I am on my second week with my V3+i and it has been pure heaven. I like to hunt a park that sees little use in the hills near the beach here in Southern Cal. I have been all over this park first the GTI 2500, then the XLT. I have done side by side tests of each machine, depth...

    VDI percent (%)

    It is and it is very small just to the lower right of the VDI number. May need to zoom the font size or put on the glasses if your eyes are "more experienced" like mine! :rofl: The Shark

    Sigh, you guys are very fast on the draw....I thought this V3i newbie had a shot at this one, but you beat me to it. You posted up before I got a crack at it. Good answers. The Shark

    4X 6 Coil For Old Home Sights

    It's official, the XLT and GTI 2500 are up on FeeBay. :cry: She won, but at least my Sunray DX-1 is due in the mail any day! :heh: And I sold the Pistol Probe to pay for it straight across. So she can't complain about that either - but she did try!! They do guilt us well NW, but we still love...

    Probably some dumb questions, but here goes....:yikes:

    Ugh, I may know the answer to my first question. I seem to have a mental block when it comes to VCO. Everyone told me to make sure VCO is on when I use my detector. I checked when I first got the detector, but I have not checked it since. I may need to go back and revisit that because from what...

    Expert Menu Flowchart

    All, Scottie posted an excellent flow chart here a while back and offered it to the anyone that PM'ed him. I have PM'ed and asked folks in the forum to send it if they got it but there has been no reply to either request. :nopity: Does anyone have a copy? I could REALLY use it as a new V3i...

    Probably some dumb questions, but here goes....:yikes:

    When I got my used V3i it had some custom programming on the Coin and Jewelry program. When I would pinpoint the tone would rise the closer I got to the target and diminish as I got further from it. After finding a few targets with it fresh out of the box I remembered the forum recommendations -...

    Could someone that got this info forwarded to them forward it to me. I sent Scott a PM but he may be away at the moment. This is great stuff and I could really put it to good use. Thank you, Jon

    Single Frequency

    WOW! That presentation is VERY informative and helps to understand why the V employs the 3 frequencies that it does. Not to mention it further validates my reasoning for going with the V over an E-Trac in the first place. Not that the E is a bad machine because it is not. It is just a different...

    4X 6 Coil For Old Home Sights

    Tex, I just got my package late this past Saturday. I have only used it 5x with the stock 10" DD. I am away from home all week and take the V3 with me to use evenings while away from home. Unfortunately I did not bring the 4X6 or the 5.3 with me on the road this week. I assure you, after...
