    One Great Machine!!

    have had the V3i for a while now and just got the 6x10 coil for it a week or two ago and it has been fun. Once the mineral readings were understood and that problem was solved it was off to the big city of Portland, Or. to try it out in some of the oldest parks there. I went to Columbia Park in...

    V3i Problems

    you have chosen two of the most difficult machines to master. the DFX and the V3i will take time. the M-6 is very simple. thus the question of whether it's you or not. with the DFX reset to stock programs then start out in relic program.don't get fancy right away. adjust the volumes where you...

    Is it in the Numbers?

    It was the improper way i skipped past the zero push the enter button part. my numbers are now vdi -93 - -94 and the strength numbers are between 5 % and 10 % depending in which part of the park you find yourself in. So there ya have it. Rob and Larry were right on from the get go. thanks very...

    Is it in the Numbers?

    yes on zero the screen. at least it says zero. my 6x 10 arrived today so I'm back to the park to try the test again. whites has recommendations for filters in their manual. so what coil and settings did they use for testing to achieve the recommendations? these numbers are so way off from what i...

    Is it in the Numbers?

    Rusfed, i do have the D2 on. It's the only coil i have right now. Because of the $200 bonus bucks at whites i ordered the 6x10. For right now i can truthfully say i don't have the slightest idea of what i'm doing is right or wrong. From what i gather the reading are based on coil,& settings. How...

    Filter choice

    I'll try to say things correctly. might not come out that way. I'm using relic mode. I've had my nickels in the 50's and my pennies in the 83-85 range. all clad. my nickels do hit 19 & 22 a couple of times and that's why i dug them. that and it was a good solid signal and the polar plot showed...

    Can someone tell me why People buy the SEF coils over the Whites??

    there's a very good example of why on you tube between a 6x10 whites and the sef 8x6. mounted on a mxt. they are both good coils but the sef did wrap around the brick and picked out the nickel underneath where as the whites couldn't get past the brick. it is in the shape. HH

    Thinking of trading down to MXT Pro from my VX3?

    [size=large]between my MXT Pro and my ATPro i sold the MXT. the reason. i couldn't notch out pull-tabs without losing gold rings. not that i had found any. but with the vx3 you can select one freq. can't you? then notch to your hearts content? I'm no pro. if put in a field with Larry and/ or Rob...

    Has anyone use this coil on there V3i ?

    you can buy any coil but what good is it regardless of price if it won't work on your machine. i did go to kellycos web site and found the coil. it's not rated for the V3i so i would think it's out of the race. whites admits in their charts the 4x6 doesn't get deep. looks like your choices are...

    Has anyone use this coil on there V3i ?

    seems i read recently there was no 8x6 for the V3i. there's one for the mxt & dfx but it's not what they call "V" rated. i haven't heard of the 4.5x7. are you referring to the 4x6 whites coil? i quess there's a bigger sef for the V3i but that's the only one i've heard of. HH
