    V3i

    I am happy to learn of the i upgrade and will be getting it as soon as I can....which is TODAY!!! This is one of the perks of living close to Sweet Home. The folks at White's are the most gracious you will ever meet. No business I've ever dealt with in any capacity, for any product or...

    New V3

    This past week was the first anniversary of my V-3 purchase. Because I don't know many in my local area who know theirs any better than I know mine, it's been a very steep learning curve, but this forum is full of help. Use it! Since I got mine, I've found a Morgan dollar, a walking liberty...

    Sweep speed and ground filter, and ground makeup

    Also, I forgot to ask how to decide what filter is best for a given situation. Is it based on the makeup of the ground? Is there an easy way to know what filter is best for a given situation? Thanks again, Mike

    Sweep speed and ground filter, and ground makeup

    Hi, everyone, This is going to be hard to do unless someone is willing to make a video...but, I keep reading that your ground filter and your sweep speed are tied together, or at least they should be. So here's the big question--what would the proper sweep speed be for the 5.0 filter, the 7.5...

    Is it possible to search in one freq, pinpoint in all 3?

    Hi, Just a basic question that will probably only need a short answer if "no," but a much longer "how to" answer if "yes". Is there an easy way to search in 2.5, but pinpoint in all 3 frequencies so I can better tell the difference between legitimate targets and trash? Thanks, Mike

    Questions about some important adjustments

    Thanks for the advice. It sounds like at least some of what I proposed is on the right track. Thanks again, Mike

    Questions about some important adjustments

    Hi again! None of my detecting friends have the V-3--so I don't get the benefit of their experience. They can get together and swap stories and teach each other a lot, but for me, this forum is my best source of information, so I really appreciate people taking the time to share their...

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Julien, Good idea--I'll check the wraparound. I'm pretty sure it's off right now. Mike

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Rich, Thanks for your thoughtfulness, and for taking the time to write things out so clearly. My friend and I are friends before we are anything else. We're not rivals, nor competitors. In fact, one of the reasons we like to hunt together is that there isn't that sense of having to "beat"...

    problems 5 inches plus

    I had the same problem yesterday. More than once, what I thought was going to be a quarter, (nice loud tone, VDI number in the 80's) turned out to be a cent. Then, I got an 89 reading and thought it might be a cent too, but it was a silver quarter! Could it be that sometimes the V-3 is "like a...

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Hi, everyone, Well, we hunted for four hours at the 1895 house, and the coins were few and far between. In fact, I ended up with only one cent, and not an old one, either. My friend, however, again did better than I did, with a Barber dime and two wheat cents. We are a bit puzzled as to how...

    Not sure who Monte is. Can you help me there? Thanks, Mike

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Ok, Here's my reasoning for going with the 5.3 coil--it will slow me down. That is the main advice everyone has given me--"slow down." I think you are all right. I was so excited to get onto that property after years of wanting to, that I hunted it haphazardly and in a hurry. I kept one eye...

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Going back to the 1895 house tomorrow. (For you east coast guys, stop laughing. This is about as old as any houses get in Oregon!) Believe me, a seated or Barber anything would completely make my day. A handful of Indians would be nice. Heck, I'm easy....even a couple of silver Rosies would...

    Took the V3 relic hunting today all metal mode

    Hi, Sorry for the ignorance, but a couple of times I have seen "all metal mode" referenced. My guess is that it is the "relic" program. Am I right? Do you run it straight up or do you make any other changes to get the depth? Thanks, Mike

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    I got a lot of rusty nails on Friday. Should I turn on the bottle cap reject, or will that cause other unintended problems? Should I go to the 5.3 inch coil? Some are suggesting running mixed mode. Should I switch to a different program? Should I only run one frequency? Every variable causes...

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    The seated dime was only about 4 inches--a sitting duck just waiting to be found, and I BLEW IT!:cry:

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Sounds great, I will give mixed mode a try! Thanks, Mike
