    2nd Hunt with My V3i:rant:

    I meant all the lines were straight in the spectragraph. Clean lines, clean signal, solid VDI. It was just so clean/solid is the only way I can describe it. On pinpoint, it hit highest on 7.5, by far. My apologies but I was wrong about the VDI, it came in as a +48, not +44 as mentioned above. It...

    What's With This Dime?

    Thanks for your reply. The reverse side is offset the same. I don't see any lettering missing on either side. Thanks for your help. HH -Marc

    What's With This Dime?

    Hi all, I looked through my coins from my hunt yesterday and found this interesting dime. I have not found one like this before. It has very clearly been stamped way off center. Anyone found one of these before? Are they common? Thanks for the help. HH -Marc

    2nd Hunt with My V3i:rant:

    Thanks Larry. Also, thank you for your tips. I completely figured out how to perfect RXG and sens settings today. I had much better luck with locktrak and regular GB intervals. When this machine is set up correctly, it really is accurate. I also used Mixed Mode which was awesome! I am now...

    No problem Rob. I just saw your message a minute ago. Maybe some other time. Offer stands.

    2nd Hunt with My V3i:rant:

    and only one gold ring? J/K, I am REALLY starting to like this machine!!! I took the V3i to a new park today that I have never hunted and came across a pull tab signal. Thing is, this pull tab signal showed up as a 44, solid ID, solid tone and all the lines were straight. I had not come across...

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    Thank you Rob. Boy I wish I knew someone near me in Minneapolis that also had a V3i. I haven't found anyone locally that is proficient with this machine but I surely could use some in-the-field training with someone that knows what he/she is doing. I have never needed this with a detector...

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    Thank you guys very much. The drawing makes more sense. Just to make sure I get it right, RXG is basically a built-in amplifier for everything the coil "sees." The good, the bad and the ugly, everything gets amplified more with more RXG and gets amplified less with less RXG? Too high and...

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    Wow, I am confused! I guess I don't understand understand the relationship between RXG and Sens. I am guessing that RXG is NOT the same thing as "gain" on minelabs. So, how do you use these functions correctly? Would I start at say, sensitivity 70ish, and increase it until the detector becomes...

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    Here are pics from my first hunt. Sorry, I meant crown caps, not screw caps. I am having a difficult time with the crown caps. Thank you all for your feedback. So if I understand this correctly, I want to only start increasing RX gain once I run my sensitivity as high as possible without...

    First Real Outing With My V3i...

    ...And I obviously have a lot of questions. Firstly I ran everything in all stock programs and in custom programs. Boy, this machine really loves screw caps. I have NEVER found as many screw caps as I did today. With my E-Trac, screw caps are non-existent but the V3i seems to think they are an...

    will the solar flare affect my machine?

    I doubt you have anything to worry about with solar flares but to keep this post relevant to detecting I will share an experience I had last year. I went out detecting one day and my Se Pro was fine the first couple of hours and then became completely erratic. I could not get it to settle down...

    New vx3 on the way cant wait.

    That was one of the things I really liked to see when I got my V3i. I like when manufacturers think and White's clearly put their thinking cap on when they decided to utilize the free space on the box with printing a VDI chart. Good stuff White's:thumbup:

    what to get: v3i or vx3 need advice

    My opinion shouldn't matter much as I have only had my V3i for a few weeks but I am 100% sure that I would not have been nearly as happy with a Vx3 as I am with my V3i. My local MD shop loaned me a Vx3 for a weekend before I made my decision and, after that weekend, I would not have bought a Vx3...

    Do Not Attempt to Disassemble Your Pro-Pointer!!!

    Today I took one of my spare pro-pointers and after a couple calls to Garrett, decided I would try to take it apart to dip the circuit board with the hopes of making it waterproof. I know this was a foolish decision to begin with but I have been looking for a better waterproof solution and so I...

    Coil Question, but not what your thinking

    No this isn't another question about "what should my next coil be?" I know everyone is sick of those, as am I. My question is this: Why does it seem that mono/concentric coils are non-existent for E-Tracs/Explorers? I completely understand the differences between DD and mono/concentric but I...

    Gold Jewelry hits

    Don't worry about your results as they are based on only 2 rings. I recover lost valuables for a living and I assure you, everything you know about coins and other everyday items, do not apply to gold. Gold is a sneaky buggar, regardless of what machine you are using, gold will come in all over...
