    93 isn't necessarily bad

    When using the ground probe a 93 doesn't mean your ground is BAD. It simply means your ground is ferrous in content as apposed to alkaline.. [attachment 311068 ScreenHunter_106Apr.1111.45.jpg] The strength reading will tell you how mineralized your soil is. In this case the soil strength is...

    RX and Disc

    In response to a PM. RX and Disc do not do the same tasks. The RX is a pre-amp that increases the incoming signal. The higher sensitivity setting improves target signals, but it also increases the amount of audio noise and can make “THE V” more “chattery.” This is especially true when EMI is...

    The "Vision" housing--bad, good, or "meh"?

    Anything can happen on one occasion but removing all the electrics is not part of a typical upgrade.

    The "Vision" housing--bad, good, or "meh"?

    Thanks andreak77 for the great info. When I traded in my prototype, I could have had a Vision box. I choose the V3i box.

    Question on V3 recovery speed.

    Go to Configure->Live Controls->Extend->Order. Scroll down to highlight a desired item. Press/Hold ENTER, then press UP/DOWN to move to item through the list. There is a special item {~The End~} that marks the end of the Control Bar contents. Move it up first to shorten the contents...

    Question on V3 recovery speed.

    I just got home from Texas. First remember it is recovery delay on the Spectras. The easiest solution is simply to have the recovery button on your live controls. Most of the programs were set to 80 but the the Hi Pro is 65 and the deep Silver as I remember is 40. Again, if the recovery...

    V4!!!?!! Is the hype really true?!?

    OK, we are suppose to keep our posts to the V3i, V3, and VX3 on this forum. This being discussed on the Whites forum.

    10x12 or is it 12x10 sef coil

    I don't know but sounds like Whites will be using the DeTech ultimate 13" . I never thought I would see a company use any coil but there own. Whites doesn't post on the forum anymore since the personnel change. :cry: I miss you guys.

    I'm out of the loop now, but I don't even expect any new detectors from Whites is spring. :stars: Read what Monte had to say near the end of this post.. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?31,2162929

    2.5 single frequency

    Best frequency is determined not only by metal content, but also size & thickness. For thicker coins with high silver content (US silver), there is no question that 2.5kHz will hit harder than 22.5kHz. For US nickels (even though they are 75% copper) 22.5kHz will hit hardest. 22.5kHz may also...

    Recommend Speed for Ground tracking

    When we were testing the prototype, Jeff Foster found that there was an offset when trying to balance for salt water. The tracking was changed in an attempt to get rid of that offset. Such is life. I think having it with the original was better, and salt water offset could be corrected with...

    Recommend Speed for Ground tracking

    Tracking is the process where the ground balance baseline is maintained automatically by a sampling process. As the coil is swept across the ground, samples are taken and compared to the ground balance baseline. If the matrix signature changes from the baseline, the detector makes the necessary...

    V3i Video

    I would make sure you have Inhibit - ON, so you won't track out a weak target when you make multiple passes over it. It is defaulted on so that the machine doesn't track when it sees a target. You don’t want the tracking to think your target is a change in ground and track it out. Also while...

    Sizing in Analyze screen

    It can be set to 1. The Analyze Screen needs to have a period of time of no targets before and after seeing a target. So wait, thousand one, thousand two before sweeping the target and before re-sweeping the target. Pinpoint the target before analyzing. Off center sweeps can cause anomalous...

    Sizing in Analyze screen

    Look in the expert menu configure and then analysis and then sizing for adjustment choices. Press menu - zoom when on sizing and get an explanation of sizing. Its just a tool and not exact. Lay some coins down and try it on various size targets.

    V3i Video

    It parallels fine Martin, I don't care that he was balancing wrong, his balance was bad and he couldn't detect better than 3". My point was to get optimum perfornace G/B must be optimum. If not depth suffers.

    V3i Video

    Thanks for the edit Bill. It takes time for the tracking to get the V3i balanced You changed programs, gain, or boost, and immediately waved the coil over the quarter. You where testing performance with a less than optimum G/B. You could tell the the balance wasn't correct because as you said...
