    Lots of v3 Questions

    rdizzle......I had the same problem with the D2 coil that came with my V3. With the 6 X 10, 4 X 6 and the 5.3 coil, I have no problems......Coach

    V3 WORTH IT?

    I love the machine. It is fun learning all the adjustments and possibilities it affords you. I pick up small pieces of foil and aluminum slaw that I would have missed with my old detector. Good or bad? If it means that I will eventually find some gold that I would not have found with my old...

    Program spreadsheet

    Beep.....I had restored all programs, got a check mark on each, but they still had the wrong VDI's. Went back in and restored Common and all the VDI's went back to where they were supposed too. Thanks......Coach

    Program spreadsheet

    Beep......Been messing with this in expert menu. Now all my accepted VDI numbers are the same in all programs.0-95. Restored each program with the library copy. All have a check mark in front, but still all have the same accepted range. What have I done?....Coach C

    Rejecting a particular trash item?

    If you are hunting in a particular mode and get tired of a particular type of junk, can you easily tell your detector to quit picking up that VDI number? Do you have to go into the menu and find the number and uncheck it?......Coach

    Single frequency VDI numbers?

    Does anyone know the VDI numbers and ranges for single frequencies with normalize off?

    Display screen?

    Thank you. I guess, if I had read my manual more thoroughly I would have known this. This machine is, at the present time, a real shock to my small learning abilities. A lot of fun learning though.....Coach

    Display screen?

    Why is my display screen a dark redish brown color in some of the search modes?.....Coach C

    All metal mode?

    I was wondering since prospecting was put with the rest of the discrimination modes that it might be merely zero discrimination and not a true all metal mode. I could not find the all metal mode in my menus.

    All metal mode?

    Is prospecting a true all metal mode? If not, how do you get to the all metal mode?......Coach C

    Two questions-(1) Bench testing (2) analysis

    Got my new V3 today. Had read all manuals previous week and looked at videos. First thing I tried was bench testing. Could not get it to quieten down. Second thing, went to test plot and tried to find items. Analysis screen did not give me any humps, only long curved lines with no width...

    Batteries for the V3?

    Got my new V3 coming. Question - Are you able to take the batteries out of the rechargeable pack and charge them separately or do you have to use the charger that comes with the pack? Or can you use rechargeable batteries in the unit where the alkaline batteries go. I have found with my old...

    V3 or DFX decision

    Thanks, Men.....I do appreciate all the input and that was the reason my posts were stated the way they were. I have no doubt the V3 is the machine for me. I have done a ton of reading, but today was the first time I actually turned one on to see how it works. Truly amazing machine. I'm not...

    V3 or DFX decision

    Thanks, David.......I find by being retired and doing nothing, you don't know what time to quit. I have read over and over the manuals and the more I do, the more confused I get. I am very sure about which detector has the best features and is the best detector. I'm not so sure as to my...

    V3 or DFX decision

    RacerX......I have been using a metal detector for over 35 years, but never had much time to devote to detecting. I am now retired and don't mind studying and learning about a detector. I never used a detector like the DFX or V3 that required so many settings and adjustments. I have had the...

    V3 or DFX decision

    I am posting here because many of you have previously owned the DFX. I have never used a Whites detector, but am definitely going to purchase one. I have a strong hankering for the V3, but can get DFX's for half the price, which I can afford at this time. Should I wait and buy the V3 and why...

    Question about trading detectors?

    How do you go about making a trade to someone through this forum. Do you just send your detector with faith that the other detector will be sent, or is there a secure method?......Coach C

    dig everything detector users

    When you say you dig everything, do you mean in all situations, or is this just in lower trash areas? In highly trashy areas, is it best to use the super sniper and discriminate or is it still better to dig everything?.....Coach

    How slow can you move the coil?

    I like to search really slow, but I seem to lose depth. How slow can you move the coil in the all metal mode and still get good depth?.....Coach

    Something new for tot lots and volleyball courts

    Starting thinking today about the depth of the sand on volleyball courts and wood chips in tot lots. The one I was at today has wood about 8 inches in most areas and the sand on the volleyball court was also this deep. Both worked out completely. Thought I would see if all metal mode might...
