    New to the VX3

    Welcome - Well I was in your shoes a couple months ago. Had been on a basic machine for 7 years and then upgraded to the VX3. It's going to take some time to get used to the machine and what it's telling you. Some of the noises will become more tame as you learn the machine and follow...

    Anybody using ear buds instead of headphones?

    That's all I use now. When I first got my machine, I used the wireless headphones. I still love them and use them occasionally, but living in Arizona, the heat makes it too hot to wear. It's only February and last weekend it was 82!!! My ears were sweating away. So I decided to use something...

    Pinpoint sensitivity adjustment

    I do have a 10x12 SEF that I'm going to be trading. I want a 6x10, 6x8 SEF or a 4X6. I need to make it clear that the pin pointer works fine, BUT, it just seems overly sensitive than my old MXT. I'm very competent with pin pointing. I just have trash everywhere I hunt. I live in Phoenix, AZ...

    Pinpoint sensitivity adjustment

    I can't stand the 950 for my area. I bought another coil from a member but am waiting for it to come in the mail. I'm not too confident on international purchase though. I hope a new coil makes a difference.

    Some more VX3 questions

    Yes, you're right. I don't have a clue with the adjustment - hence the question. By I appreciate your candor. I'm getting a grasp on the adjustment now. Just did your test and yes, the higher the DISC the further it picks up. Seeing this test in action, it's coming all together now. So in the...

    Ok. Check out my test. Each swipe was done about 4 inches from coil. No difference. Maybe I should go further out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0gBGjz6fZw

    Some more VX3 questions

    Let me get this right before I post the results. Just did it. With the DISC all the way up or all the way down, I should get some kind of feedback? overload, etc?

    Some more VX3 questions

    I'm going to go into DEMO mode and test this. I will keep it stock, then do a test with DISC all the way up and all the way down. Let's see what happens. Wonder if the unit is damaged. Ran perfect in stock C and J yesterday at the park though.

    Some more VX3 questions

    I know you did. Don't take my comment the wrong way. I just need to keep tinkering with it and see how it reacts differently with the settings adjusted. Seems like when I get a good hit in the standard C and J mode, I will adjust the DISC to see how that "good hit" is affected. Figured by...

    Some more VX3 questions

    I know. I've read it several times over before posting these questions. Sometimes manuals can't explain things as well as first hand experience from other detectorists.

    Some more VX3 questions

    This chart makes sense. Thank you. Seems you want to run the DISC as high as possible. Why would you want to run it lower? When will you know you've exceeded the DISC sens? I assume the closer the DISC to the RX, the unit becomes unstable? This will sound stupid, but what are some symptoms for...

    Next question. What dictates your DISC adjustment to your ground conditions? What is your ground doing or what are you observing that would cause you to adjust your DISC?

    Some more VX3 questions

    This makes more sense! I guess the next question is understanding why I would fine tune the DISC..
  14. D

    Some more VX3 questions

    Ok. So if you turn up your RX to 12, do you have to turn up the DISC? What if your turn up RX to 12 but NOT run the sensitivity as high as you could go while maintaining stability? What's the point of running up the DISC? I think this answer might help me understand what the DISC is for. If I...

    Some more VX3 questions

    I'm still not getting it. I don't know why? I completely get the RX, but not the DISC. How or why is DISC adjusted if it's essentially adjusted with the RX?

    Some more VX3 questions

    RE: VX3 #1 - When operating in MIXED mode, if the unit can discriminate a target, does it automatically shut off the AM mode and stay in the DISC mode? Not sure if that makes sense. From my understanding of the MXT, it operates like this. #2 - Please give me examples of when you guys use the...

    Yeah, my 950 is obviously optimized. I was just saying that the "MX" serial number on the 4X6 seems to work fine with the VX3...

    Help with VDI

    Hey guys. No it's not new. Used but only a few months old. I did call White's and spoke to them about the pinpointing. Seems like it's user error. Marry assured me the two are completely different processing units and would not pinpoint the same. Don't get me wrong, the pinpointed works, just...

    Help with VDI

    Question - I sweep my VX3 in factory C & J mode in my test garden over my wife's wedding ring. On the surface. Small thin 14k ring. VX3 sporadically hits it. When it does it's a blurp at -6 through 5. This is in 3 frequency mode. MXT hits every time. Registers foil, but consistent hit...

    F/S or Trade 10X12 SEF WHITE

    Brand new from Kellyco. Not even a scratch on the bottom! This was going to be for my Whites V series, but I need a DD. Maybe a 4X6. Prefer to trade but will sell if needed. V-Rated
