    Could only be without a V3i for a week!

    Sold my V3i last week and have been using a DFX, AT Pro (loaner), and F75 (another loaner. Just had a hard time with missing my baby. Put a request in today for an additional one for me through the shop.

    Had to sell my V3i!

    An opportunity came up to purchase a rare piece of vintage audio that would have been way too shortsighted to pass up! Not a wit of seller's remorse here, will be using my DFX for the first time in a long time tomorrow and know I'll be missing the V3i. Gold chain will be pretty much out of the...

    First time Vaquero user and wanting to set up for jewelry.

    Been detecting for a long time and brought a Vaquero home from work to see how it is for jewelry. I know it will be great but was wondering how some of you guys set up for a jewelry hunt? (Bet it is similar to other analogs I've used but every machine has it's "personality".) Really looking...

    Wireless Headphones?

    I found a pair of Auvio wireless headphones and found they won't work with my Classic III Plus box. They do work with my digital box though but....there is a slight delay and will probably just use them for around the house and teaching audio with the V3i. Now....does anyone know if an analog...

    Thanks for servicing your older models Whites.

    Came into possession of a 7 year old machine and after checking it out.....appreciated it but there were too many other aspects that I didn't, decided to sell. With a better informed public nowadays.....had one heck of a time selling it because the company just doesn't service a 7 year old...

    Will there eventually be a V3i classroom?

    It's beginning to have been a good amount of time since the introduction of our machine. We have all seen so much go on in our learning, Whites hard work in further development, and now.....the strong base to have a classroom? Do you think the timing would be right for it? Just a thought and...

    Detecting in a downpour tomorrow!

    A buddy and I are heading down to Portland to attend a convention tomorrow. We've been needing to get out and do some detecting together and well........to heck with it. Rain gear is the way it's gonna go. Have several places with permission and we are going to be VERY wet by the time we get...

    GoldMaster V-Sat....how does it compare to newer models in performance?

    A friend has one and wants to sell as he just doesn't use it/never did! I've used a GMT and MXT a little for gold and am familiar with the tech differences but......what's the real world performance differences? Is it straight forward to learn and is it versatile in different dirt? (Sure like...

    What is everyones Merc. to silver Rosie ratio?

    This may be indicative of the types of places I'm hunting but my Merc. finds are running 5 to 1? Anyone else seeing this?

    What's the highest signal loss you've seen?

    Was out doing a hunt in an old yard this afternoon. Had RX running at 9. Disc. Sensitivity at 85. (Loss was at 39 to 54% between the three frequencies?) When you guy's see this.....how would you approach getting more signal back? I did try lower RX and 90 on the Disc. Sensitivity but was about...

    The use of TX Boost is remarkable.

    Hey all. Was hunting an old park yesterday and decided to venture in to an area that has always proven to be a royal pain. Apparently, this area was all fill (from a regrade) and has been really tough to get good depth on because of heavy iron masking and an unbelievable amount of iron debris...

    3 Hrs. of hunting kicked my tail!

    A lady called me yesterday to see about getting a detector from me to look for a lost tennis bracelet. She'd never detected befor and looking for that kind of target would be at least moderately challenging for the best of us so....a buddy and myself gave it a go. My time was tight so it was...

    Went hunting with a new detecting buddy today!

    Got out of work quick today and hit one of my favorite places with a guy I've been wanting to hunt with for a long time. No good finds but he found a lot of nickels and I retrieved a slew of aluminum! It just felt so good to get out with a fellow detectorist for once and felt so good to get a...

    How is your headphone battery life these days?

    Hey all. Been using some new 2700ma metal nickel hydride batteries in my headphones. I'm not noticing any kind of increased battery life over standard alkalines? (Getting maybe 2.5 to 3 hrs. of juice.) It really isn't a big deal but....What are you all getting? Thanks, Scott

    How much longer do the NiMh batteries last in the headphones?

    Another post made me decide to switch to the new type. I have multiple battery packs and doing this will free me from non-rechargeables completely. Today was short day at work and was able to dig a lot of aluminum! No rings today but this site has proven itself well. Hopefully next time...

    Old box Classic III Plus Question

    Hey all, Just picked up an older style Classic III Plus. It is still in new condition and was wondering if many of you have experience with them? (I still have a few older coils that all work well with it so picking it up for $50.00 was really an easy decision.) Questions: Can this box take...

    What kind of depth can be expected with a Prizm IV ?

    I've been hunting with the bigger machines and have only had real experience with the 6T in the Prizm series. With Xmas coming up am thinking of getting one of the IV's for a young family member. A friend has one and wants to sell one (that is still in box.) The price makes this a "will buy" and...

    What kind of gloves do you all use?

    I no that this can seem like an unimportant thing for some (but not me at least). I had a pair of Atlas 370's and they were thin, tough and inexpensive. Lost one and do you think I can find them easily again...nope! Found a pair of fishing gloves (that will fill in) but don't think they'll hold...

    We need to start coming up up with some single frequency slammers.

    Has anyone made up a single frequency program (away from stock) that is more like the traditional White's concepts for speed and recovery? (That is why those folks have edged out the others... IMHO.) This V is so easily capable of making it into whatever kind of machine type you could...

    Tried out the V rated 5.3 eclipse today and really liked it.

    Went out for a couple hours today and put the 5.3 V optimized on...found coins that just weren't there before! Monte said this was a goodie and I have no doubt now! This area had been "cleaned up" with dozer work back in the 80's and the only areas that still produce are up next to the trees...
