    Hats off to Kellico

    Im in Florida on vacation. I ordered a new DFX on Thursday afternoon, and it arrived on Friday afternoon. I was amazed. They sure are efficient.

    Case closed!

    Wrote in recently about "falsing" on my DFX. I was able to successfully eliminate it by extending the length of the shaft one more notch. I'm 5' 6", and use a" shorty" shaft. I had it in the shortest possible configuration. By just lenthening the rod by one hole, the noises stopped. So I'm...

    You just never know...

    I have been out on a Florida beach fro ten days, and it has been slow. At least until last night when my total went from $12.02 to $77.35. Didn't even need the DFX to find $63. in bills lying on the sand. Previous high total had been $17. That's what makes this hobby so much fun. You just never...

    Need help badly

    I have a two year old DFX 300 with an Eclipse 950 coil. I've always used the factory settings. Suddenly, I've been getting alot of falsing on every swing. I went out and purchased a new coil, but still have falsing. I tried lowering the AC sensitivity down to 56, which seemed to help, but did...

    I guess it is time to upgrade to the V3i...:surrender:

    I shipped a bad D2 coil to Sweet Home,OR about two weeks ago, and paid about $9. for priority mail. They repaired/replaced it and shipped it back yesterday at no charge. How can you beat that? talk about a first class AMERICAN business.

    HELP!!!!

    Today, I turned on my V3, balanced it, and got a continuous volley of various false signals, even before lowering it to the ground. This took place in two different locations, in the woods, and in the back yard. I mean I got bells, whistles, and every reading imaginable. The machine has been...

    How long till you really started connecting w/ your V3

    For the first week on the beach, no bottle cap was safe! By the second week, I was stiil digging little pieces of tin foil. But it's sure easy to distinguish a good target. But being 5'6", and 145lbs,I prefer the DFX on the beach. I'll save the V3 for the woods. The V3 is alot more sensitive. No...

    any suggestions?

    Stupid... I tried the D2 coil again today, and it worked superbly. Guess the problem was the 950 coil with both the V3 and DFX. thanks for the feedback.

    any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply. I'm using factory settings. I tried the 950 in response to an earlier post about chatter and false beeps that may have been caused by a bad batch of D2 coils. When I heard the 950 was compatible, I thought I'd try it. I get the false noises in all areas of the beach, using...

    any suggestions?

    I sent the DFX back to Whites on Oct. 16, and still haven't heard from them. Don't even know if they received it, although I sent it express, and it should have arrived the next day. My emails have gone unanswered also. I do know that the phone jack was loose, and the lock nut fell off. That's...

    any suggestions?

    I've had my Spectra about three weeks, and have been using it on a FL beach. I'm using the salt water beach program. Recently, it started giving me false signals at almost every swing. It's frustrating to hear a signal, and find nothing there. I switched from the stock D2 coil to the Eclipse...

    V3 or DFX decision

    I've had my V3 three days, and am amazed at the depth. I've been using a DFX for several years, and happy with it. But the V3 is finding fish hooks at 6 inches, whereas the DFX would miss them entirely. No real treasures yet, but I'm sure, with a little more practice, it'll find them.

    Can anybody help?

    Just tried out a Super 12 coil on my DFX in the woods, but every time the coil comes in contact with a branch, bush, or whatever, I get a squealing sound. I'm using the beach and jewelry mode. Awfully difficult to swing without some contact. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    DFX problems... anybody else experience them?

    Occasionally, when in Florida, I turn on the machine, and get to the menu, but when I click on a program, the graphics just fade in and out, and nothing happens. I open the battery housing for a few minutes, and it usually works normally. I think it's due to coming out of an air conditioned...

    Two new models are:

    Check out the White's website. The two new machines are the DFX300 and MXT300.

    Wireless headsets?

    I'm tired of snagging my headset cord while detecting in the woods. Cord must be 12' long by now! I've suggested to Whites about a wireless headset, but nothing yet. Any suggestions?

    Cleaning silver?

    How do you clean silver rings that have been in salt water for years? I have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaning gizmo that doesn't seem to do much with the darker colored rings. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
