    Two firsts in one day!

    I went out with the club I belong to and hunted a park in a nearby town the other day. The park was very trashy, so the pickings were slim. But I did make a couple of finds that were really good, and personal firsts. The first was a nice bouncy signal that ranged from low 20's up into the...

    First half (just clad, but still...)

    I went out a little Sunday morning before the heat set in. I was hoping for a silver coin or maybe a piece of jewelry or something, but it was not to be. I did find a wheat penny, a couple of old nickels, and a couple of dollars in modern clad. But my best find of the morning was a...

    Depth and iron question.

    Actually it's a couple of questions. I've been hunting a place where there is a good possibility I could find some older coins (in continuous public use since the mid-1800's), but am not doing that well. I'm finding plenty of coins, but they're all modern, and they're all deep. I've been...

    Competition hunt settings suggestions?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for settings for a competition hunt? Targets are mostly (but not all) coins, and of course speed is important. I played with the settings a little earlier today and turning the recovery delay down definitely helps with faster swings, but I thought I'd ask if...

    Battery charger not charging -- suggestions?

    My V3's charger isn't charging. The power light is on, but the charge light doesn't come on when I put a battery in it, and the batteries aren't charging. I've tried two batteries, and I've tried unplugging and replugging the charger into the wall. Is there anything else I can try, or do I...

    Power usage in menu?

    I've taken to "pausing" my V3 when I put it down to dig a hole, by pressing the menu button. Since this shuts off the search audio, I presume it stops transmitting as well? It seems like this would increase battery life if I spend a lot of time digging (which I do sometimes -- those deep...

    My first silver with the V3!

    I went back to one of my favorite sites today, and even though it got off to a really slow start, it turned out to be a good day. I had a little voice in my head that said "there's silver here, and today is your day to find some." The little voice was right. :detecting: As you can see in the...

    V3 finds deep indian

    The other day I was hunting a site on private property (with permission). The owner told me there had been people "all over that place" with metal detectors before and that I probably wouldn't find anything. But *I* hadn't been all over it before, so I was eager to try it out. I was running...

    What sort of buckle is this?

    I found this buckle in an area I've found a three-ring bullet and some tent grommets. The buckle was 8" deep or so. I washed it off, and the edges of the center of the buckle look like copper or brass (which is what my detector said for target ID, too). Where most buckles have a tongue that can...

    V3 and edge coins

    Today was the second time I've had the V3 sing out loud and clear about a deep coin standing on edge. Both were pennies, and both were in areas that have been detected hard by others. The first time was a 1962 memorial cent on edge at 8" (I have no idea why it was that deep), and today was a...

    Battery pack modifications?

    One of the FAQ's on Whites website asks if you can use the spare alkaline battery case to make your own NiMH rechargeable battery pack. The answer says to "see the forums" for people who have done just that. I don't know which forums they refer to (didn't see a link?), but I can't find any...

    Deep Silver program question

    I'm getting pretty comfortable with the "Coin" program, so I have started trying to learn the "Deep Silver" program. I wanted to ask others using it -- how do you decide which signals to dig, and which to ignore? It's a single frequency program, so you don't have the other two frequencies to...

    New to Forum, new to V3, first impressions, questions

    Greetings! I have done a lot of reading in the last week or so, but this is my first post here. Just yesterday, I bought a new Spectra V3 to replace my old Garrett GTA 1000. I've had the GTA for many years, but haven't used it very often, primarily because it just never seemed to find much...
