    v3 to v3i. happy so far with what I've found

    Got the v3 back as a v3i. Very impressed with Whites as usual. basically set everything up the same as the v3 though. I didn't find polar plot of great use. I use Spectro screen, pinpoint and pinpoint for analyze mode yet. Modulation is exactly different from the v3. 0= deep targets sounding...

    What do detectorist use to put dirt on while digging a hole

    I wanted to bring this up just in case there is someone out there that doesn't use any kind of device (Towel or mat) to lay down next to a hole and place the dirt on after digging the horseshoe plug. I use an old cheap rubber 12"x12" rear car floor mat. I sit it down by the hole. Kneel on the...

    Interesting fact about v3 / v3i .(I think it is anyway)

    Called a Whites Service center today in IL. Asking about sending my unit in for the upgrade. The person on the phone explained what to do. I asked how long would the turnaround time would be. She asked Where I was from. I told her Wisconsin. She stated only a couple of days. I then had thought...

    Cool wireless earbuds for v3

    When I purchased my V3 I figured I'd save a few bucks and opt out of the wireless headphones that were a $200 option and use corded ones when needed. I've got to the point where I was wishing I had purchased them and was debating on ordering some. But with the hot weather headphones do get...

    Question for Magic or someone with a 10x14 Excellerator

    I cannot seem to find where I thought you once posted that you had a 10x14 exCellerator for your DFX and you were going to try it out on the V3. Maybe I had read wrong , not sure. But if you did, does it perform as good as it did on the DFX ? I had a DFX with one and loved it and am curious as...

    Do you take the chance of leaving your V3 in a hot trunk to use after work?

    I know I'm going to keep taking my v3 with me to work. I usually do. Will hit an area for an hr. or so before work then keep it in my trunk. I work afternoons. Today was terribly hot out and the v3 worked flawless. I got off work early and used it tonight to find some of the finds. So I would...

    alloy in gold can deteriorate over time in the ground

    Just to let all know. Some gold may fool you when dug. I dug a very corroded ring and after extensive asking then having tested it came up as solid 14K to 18K gold. The ring was over 9 inches deep at a very old park that was home to the 1st homestead of a decent sized town in our area. House...

    questions on gold with the v3

    I am trying to find info out on finding Gold with my V3 and possibly why each item below comes up different on the readings. 1st of all the ring in the pic was found very deep and was totally weathered bad when I found it. Came up a 54 VDI with 7.5 with the hard hitting freq. at about 9 inches...

    My best unbendable digging tool on the cheap

    Been bending digging tools quite a bit when the going gets tough. I have two pictured alongside the one I made that are now shot as well. Both these I bought new. The cheaper one with the black electrical tape actually did hold up for some time but like most of them, once it starts bending...

    Anyone ever run the below settings? Acts like a different machine!

    I've been following most all articles on here and another Forum about V3's. Seen many programs and read many ways to tweak the v3. I've even tried Salt mode and do see some quieting down but sure do loose depth. I live in central Wisconsin and am quite sure we have a decent amount of minerals in...

    Is the Super 12 worth buying for the V3

    I have seen a few topics about the Super 12 Coil but not many. I own the D2 and a 6x10. Live in Wisconsin and am thinking of buying a Super 12 for my v3. Want it for old parks to go deep. But need to know if it will go deeper than a D2 and by how much. If someone has one and has experience using...

    Found all three today in parks around my area. One was over 7 inches deep. Not too much but did find allot of clad. This is the most silver dimes in one day for me.

    D2 vs. 6x10

    I had a D2 go bad on me per say. I found that I could no longer run an RX gain of 9 or higher and have Disc. up over 80. Hold the coil in the air and turn on Boost without overloading. Called Whites and they once again come through as the super Company they are. They sent me a replacement D2...

    v3 and Meteorites

    I have been blessed to Live 45 miles North of Wisconsin's close encounter with a Meteor. I took a drive to the location where a internet news reported a Farmer had been sitting outside at 10 P.M. and the giant fireball roared over. He heard a tinging on a shed roof 20 seconds later and found the...

    Drive In Theater & Pinpoint mode

    Wondering if many people have hit old or operating Drive-in theaters. If a person wants to learn some about discrimination, these are the places to go. I have found well over $130 in loose change. 6 silver rings and probably missed 3 times that since going there. I was fortunate enough to have...
