    Turned the truck around

    I think you will enjoy the V3i. Explore the performance oriented adjustments enough to understand the concept and scenarios where you'd want to consider them. By all means add ground filter and tracking to the list of basics you master first. The V has plenty of punch at lower RX gains and the...

    Still digging weather here - a few fertilized finds

    Each December I check some previously productive fields to see where they are turning it over. Scouted it yesterday and there is plenty, 100's of acres of freshly turned farm field. The most productive field was not turned (hopefully in the Spring) but the one next to was so that's where I...

    A couple of hard won small keepers...running with the Racer

    A few recent keepers from my last couple of times running the Racer. The "Tiffany" earring and 1945 cent came off a salt water beach in black and red sand. I suspect these washed out of the dunes. It's cleaning up ok and tests as .900 fine silver or better. The two dimes came from a nasty...

    V3i Circuit Board plug configuration/plug loose nut washer inside

    Why don't you contact Whites service department for advice? Maybe they can give you the answer you need to do it yourself. Sure they may want you to send it in but I assume you are out of the warranty period. Their service is top notch. HH

    40 hours in so far - Monday & Tuesday's lessons in Racer school:detecting:

    Another four hours of Racer school each day Monday and yesterday, the lesson was audio. When I first got the Racer I tried a few different detecting headsets that I have. Just before I left to detect Monday the postman delivered my new Grey Ghost NDT's. Absolutely the best clarity for my...

    About 30 hours in and diggin' it

    I spent a few hours Friday (marking 2 weeks with the MR) working the Racer in two different picked over spots and I think the attributes of this detector are making the revisits worth the effort. All I did that day was different than my previous outings, now trying to cherry pick any coin...

    Nice Koss Accousound headphones FS or trade for used Raptor digger

    I'd like trade these for a used Raptor digging trowel...I may consider other similar items. I'll sell these phones $40. Shipped in the lower 48. These are a really nice pair of older used Koss Accusound headphones that I've had stored away for a few years. I think these are a 90 ohm headset. I...

    Interesting Test

    What you said makes perfect sense. I have a sweet 12x10" SEF that passes all the V3i coil tests. It's usually my first choice for large open areas until I find there is lots iron. I have some iron in my test plot close to one side of my 6" quarter and the SEF gets it easily if I change...

    My observations of the Racer and how I see it as a tool for me...

    A little background why bought the Racer. I decided to sell my IDX Pro since I only used it for an annual competition hunt or as a loaner. That left a void to fill, replace detector #8....yes my wife knows I can never have enough detectors or gear. I decided that I could find something light...

    Latest V3i finds - loving my V - 4 years with it.

    Now that's the second time in 2 days I've been asked if I live in Texas... Maybe I'm supposed to be! I've had a few friendly contacts with folks that live there on FindMall. I enjoyed visiting Dallas a long time ago and I love Texas BBQ. I'm in Connecticut about 20 minutes west of Hartford. HH...

    Emulating The Nokta Fors Core or Makro Racer with the V3i?

    Having the Makro Racer since late Friday...I only have 4 hours on it and am compiling my observations for posting in that forum until after I've got more time on it. I see this topic was moved from the Makro forum. Immediately upon reading this topic I thought of several smart a$$ answers but...

    First time out with the Racer

    My first outing yesterday with the Racer was in some farm fields and an adjacent orchard. I'm located in CT and there are many good places to hunt for coppers, flat buttons and round ball...reals and early silver if it's a really good outing. I spent a little time late Friday afternoon in my...

    Latest V3i finds - loving my V - 4 years with it.

    Thought I'd share my better V3i finds from the last two weeks. I've been mostly off the forums during summer. Autumn begins my favorite time to detect. I continue to enjoy my V3i and have 4 full years under my belt and continue to be impressed at what it can do. It's my flagship and I love it...

    Still here - doing well. Missed much I'm sure - very active forum!

    Hey all, despite rumors I'm here, kicking and digging. During the warmest months I didn't do much detecting (lots of motorcycle riding and trips) but now autumn is here and my favorite time of year to detect. Big shout out to mudpuppy in particular, not being on the forum lately I've missed his...

    Can anyone comment on the Racer 15.5 x 13 coil?

    Specifically weight, balance and performance. Opinions of its ability to give an accurate visual target ID on deeper coins for instance. I'd hate to take reasonably well balanced unit and turn it into a nose heavy toad that is no fun to swing. HH - Bruce

    Question re preferred headphones - specifically impedance

    I was wondering what Racer users prefer. I have a number of high end cans that run from 90 ohms to 150. The racer signals seem a little quiet with the "high end" sets and more pronounced - louder with the average 32 ohm headphones. This is often the case and I know one manufacturer recommends...

    Been lurking, learning. New Racer is on the way to me.

    I've been on the lookout for a light weight high performing detector that can deal with bad ground. The you tube video I saw with the red Culpepper Va. soil in a tub with the target beneath it impressed me. I've hunted a little in the Staunton / Greenville area during a visit to family. That is...
