    Separation versus see-through in iron

    I don't know if separation is the same as see-through. We've all seen tests of various makes of machines that exhibit very fast "recovery" speeds on closely spaced individual targets only to falter when it comes to Monte's Nail Board test. While testing my V3i, I tried many different settings...

    Problem with 5.3 coil...

    The coil works fine in multi frequency modes and single frequency modes 2.5 kHz and 7.5 kHz but goes nuts in 22.5 kHz. The coil is V rated and seems to work fine otherwise. Can it be fixed?

    Vaquero air test?

    What should the Vaquero air test on a U.S. copper cent without super tuning and sensitivity at 9? I can get between 7" and 8" on my Bandido II uMax with the standard 8" coil and sensitivity set at 9. I watched a You Tube video where the Vaquero hit on a 12" quarter in the ground without knowing...

    Problem: How do I contact the moderator or forum master?

    I tried messaging through "Contact Us" but each time I get a failed delivery notice. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Roy

    Can the Racer handle high mineralization?

    I need to ask because in the Sacramento Valley where I live the ground is rather difficult. I ask this question with a past detector in mind, the Teknetics Mark 1, a two filter machine that didn't work well here or in Northern Nevada's ground. This leads me to wonder how many filters the Racer...

    Racer standard vs Pro package question...

    If I'm only interested in the small coil and rechargeable batteries/charger should I still buy the Pro package or just the standard package and buy the batteries/charger and small coil later? Anybody know what the small coil will sell for separately? :confused:

    G2 or T2?

    Which would be best in older parks that have rusty iron targets in moderate to highly mineralized ground? I'm looking for a machine that has a reputation for finding deep high conductors near buried rusty iron. I'm saying "buried" because I'm not interested in what a detector can do on top of...

    What currently made detector does best in finding high conductors near iron at depth?

    I haven't dug a high conductor at depth (6" or deeper) since my old TR days back in the early 1970's. Of course, my old Coinmaster IV TR didn't get anything near 6" but I do remember finding coins coming out of the ground along with a nail or other rusted iron on occasion. Not anymore. I've used...

    What machine is best in heavy trash using small coil?

    My ground is at least medium mineralized, probably a bit worse though. I'm looking for accurate ID, very quick recovery speed and maybe some tones as well. I'm looking at White's MXT Pro but can't help but wonder about First Texas products too. Also, I'd prefer a machine that can be outfitted...

    8x6 SEF coil question...

    In ordering the 8x6 SEF coil from Kellyco, will I need to buy their bolt/hardware to attach the coil to the V3i lower rod?

    Depth reading with the 5.3 Eclipse coil way off...

    In using the 5.3 Eclipse coil I'm finding I have to dig deeper than what the all metal pinpoint indicates in inches. I tested the coil and found the depth reading indicating a full inch deeper than actual in an air test. I also tried a non V rated 5.3 coil and found the same results. I do have...

    Low conductors reading high--why?

    I'm using my V3i outfitted with the 5.3 coil and having aluminum read rather high, in the 60's, 70's and 80's. I have the Rx Gain at 12 and Discriminate at 90. I'm using the 5Hz High Pass filter in Best Data. The Ground Probe VDI reads 93 and is fairly consistent where I live in the Sacramento...

    Anybody using ear buds instead of headphones?

    I tried using ear buds while listening to music on my laptop instead of the uncomfortable headphones I usually use and found that I like them. I'm not an audiophile and could care less about perfect sounding music. Then I thought about giving them a try on my V3i. Controlling volume via V3i's...

    Stock 11" coil...

    Consensus seems to have both the 5" double "D" and the 5x10 elliptical coils as first choices for many using the Goldbug/G2 for coins and jewelry. Is there any situation where the stock 11" does better? :confused:

    Recovery Speed comparison question

    Is there any difference in the Recovery Speed between the MXT and MXT Pro? How does the M6 compare to the MXT/MXT Pro in it's Recovery Speed? I'll be hunting in rusty iron situations and looking for a detector that has the ability to find good (non ferrous) targets near iron at depth (6"- 9") in...

    Can I use NiMH batteries in a Classic III SL?

    I see only a Nicad battery pack being offered by White's for the Classic series. If NiMH can be used, what brand batteries and charger would be the best choice? Thank you, Roy

    Double "D" coils for White's 6.5 Khz machines?

    Does anyone make double "D" coils for White's 6.5 Khz machines? I'm acquiring a White's Classic III with Mr. Bill's mods and wondered if a double "D" coil would improve the separation ability of this machine in iron junk over a concentric coil of the same size. Or should I just use the small 5.3...

    Did I buy the correct detector?

    Heck, I didn't know whether to post this here or on the Gold Bug forum but I'll try here first. I already bought the Gold Bug Pro (still brand new) in thinking I'd be able to ferret out some non ferrous goodies hiding near rusty iron in the (beat to death) older parks in my town but I'm...

    Testing and setting up the V3i--anybody else notice these?

    Earlier this year, when the ground was still damp, I did some testing on my new V3i. Using a freshly buried coin I found the best responding filters for Best Data, Correlate and Single Frequency 2.5 kHz w/Non Normalized VDI's. While testing over freshly buried targets may not be the best way to...

    5.75" or 4" coil on a Bandido II uMax for trashy sites?

    Which coil would be the best choice for hunting trashy parks? The standard 8" coil does fine but I'm wondering if I'd see much improvement in separation with the 5.75" or 4" coils :confused:........
