    v3i gives very inaccurate depth readings

    You say you "pump the coil 4 times for balance"..it may take a bit more than that!! It can, in my experiance, take 15 to 20 pumps to get a good balance, are you listening for a smooth threshold before starting to detect or is 4 pumps all you are prepared to give it? I don't have the V3i no...

    coin icons

    Gooday Active. Yes you would think that a detector with so much "potential" would be capable of being switched to different countries currency icons, it does not matter to me because I would not use the function any way. But it would help some users no doubt. Do you think the V3i upgrade is...

    coin icons

    I just turn icons off, they are not worth diddly on our Aussie coins. Cheers Rob.

    Depth

    I have a V3, and an explorer XS, I reckon the explorer goes deeper (8 x 12) coiltek coil. What you might try is the standard D2 on the V3 at the same site, you may be having iron masking problems with the 18 x 12, just a guess mind you!! Cheers Rob.

    V3, a strange melody and autopower off..

    I am not positive about this but what your friends spectra may be doing is timing out, the auto off may be activating. No targets detected in 30mins and the detector shuts down, that is the preset time. You need to access the expert menu to change the settings or turn function off!! Hope this...

    Excalibur or CZ-21

    I am thinking of buying a detector for water hunting, salt water mostly. I will not be going to deep with it, only around waist deep. The two machines I am interested in are the excalibur and CZ-21, I welcome any comments on these two detectors. Being an Ausie I lean towards the excalibur but am...

    TRASFER PROGRAMS BY USB

    I assume you mean the dongle! That is ready to go, but as I understand, the computer program itself is causing major headaches for the development team. As for price, thats anybodys guess. Will have to wait and see!! Happy hunting.. Rob.

    Went for the V3 then . . .

    I am glad I am not you..LOL! I had the same agonising time over the the decision E-Trac or V3.. I have had a Minelab explorer for 9yrs and I love it still, but I guess I got bored with it and the lure of "new technology" was pulling to try some thing different.. I tried the E-Trac and it is a...

    wireless headphones

    I have had a set of Lanier under chin earphones on my minelab explorer since new, 9yrs. They are terrific and light but still have that cord!! I purchased the wireless phones with my V3, I think they are terrific, but HOT in our summer heat. One pad is starting to fall apart at the stitching, I...

    Got a new V3with some sort of coil problem.

    IDIG. I think you may just be having EMI trouble with your V3, Numbers jumping, sounding off all the time are symtoms of EMI. Power lines-systems can do it, it can be pretty bad, I know it has happened to my V3. I think there are posts on EMI and how to deal with it in this forum, but you may...

    Headphones for spectra V3

    I have had the V3 for 3 weeks and enjoying learning how to use it. The wireless phones are okay but I am thinking about a spare set of wired phones, do phones that suit a mono output detector work okay with the V3, I have none to try so I need help with this. Grey ghost,s are available in a...
