    Coil question is the SN "V" and "SS" the same?

    We had an machine operator error here at the factory. Several hundred V3 tuned loops were stamped "SS" before it was noticed. So yes "SS" is V3 tuned. "SS" was not used on any other search coil. Howard

    Wireless Headphones - Loud Noise:ranting:

    1.1 had some quirks. You should send it in and have it updated to 1.3 and I do think any unusual audio issues will be resolved.

    THEY HAD A VISION

    I have study the used market extensively for years. A lot of it is about new unit volumes. People have lots of different reasons, however, the overruling factor is the more of any one model sold new, the more you see of it in the used market. Just human nature. Compare to cars, at any given...

    Dominant 22.5 coins in 3 freq. Best Data?

    Derivatives make such a system work out; 7.5 devided by 2.5 = 3 22.5 divided by 7.5 = 3 15 divided by 3 = 3 The technical explanation exceeds me but I can understand math doesn't work out well regarding odd matches, (electrical comparatives and subtraction techniques) and that if there is a...

    The V Man

    Larry... were you one of those "Children Of The Corn" actors? You are looking kind of re-leaved coming out of there, you know dinosaur droppings stick to my loop cover! Or was that ribs, beans, and sweet corn? Howard

    false signals

    If the search coil is good, (overall odds are against it being bad) ground balance has a whole lot to do with loop bumping signals. In bad ground (common in a lot of relic areas) a slightly offset ground balance/track setting does a lot to eliminate such loop bump signals. Arrow over to Live...

    V3 "DISPLAY HOUSING"

    Jerry - We understand. The back half boss tower can give out (crush) if the pod was overtightened and the front half can remain undamaged. If there is an issue... we replace both front and back. Black plastic makes it hard to see any stress fractures. I recall the mechanical engineers...

    V3 "DISPLAY HOUSING"

    Lewis... yes we inspect closely during updating. If any plastic is noted on the screws when removed from the housing, indicating some degree of stripping, we replace the housing. Housing is good (doesn't strip out the bosses) if torque specification is accurate. We have not seen a lot of...

    V3 "DISPLAY HOUSING"

    Dear Jerry Sorry for the trouble. We have seen a small number of the housing screws strip out. We are looking into adding brass sleeves to the display housing screw bosses and switching over to machine screws. Controlling the torque screw driver settings in production is a daily concern. I...

    beach program question

    Ed I'm getting a lot of targets that appropriately read stronger at the low to mid frequency's with the "V" 950. Does it read the quarter strongest at 22.5 in the air? Where are you located? What exactly is the code on your loop ear? Howard

    beach program question

    Carl is at the Salt Beach right now looking into this. He has been to the beach several times this week. It is 107 here today and 70 at the beach, so I'm thinking...I should join him! At least I could help bring back some fresh real salt/sand. A number of users have found the 9.5 loop...

    Battery Drain ...

    With all White's detectors, some small battery draw is expected when battery is in and detector is off. Usually takes days or even a week to note, however, not a good idea to leave batteries in for several days and expect a full charge to remain. A price one has to pay for the best shielding...

    V3 settings for UK Roman coins

    The collection of roman coins and hammered coins we have and test with here in USA are so varied in exact size / alloy, they indicate from low VDI numbers up to high. Soil reaction also varies a great deal with different bronze alloy mixes and thin silver hammered. Here in Oregon, the wet soil...

    V3 settings for UK Roman coins

    It is indeed difficult to come up with worthy / accurate icons for UK. The sizes and alloys are so vast! Considering Europe as a whole, one could very well have a generic coin icon for everything that doesn't indicate iron... so the usefulness / point of the icon is greatly diminished. Expert...

    Park land UK

    All the best signs are there on the Spectra V3. When the leading edge is often reluctant to let others know just how well they are actually doing with it only because they want to hunt the old previously producing sites first, you know it is a winner! It's not a magic stick, but a number of...
