    gold rings

    I took my V3 right into a Jewelry store and tested rings and necklaces. The higher the gold content in a ring makes it sound off higher on the vdi scale from what I found. .. 18K generally reads in the 50's on up. I have a very small 18K ring that reads 54 vdi and red. I have a much larger mens...

    15x12" Sef v-rated just showed up....Deep Seeker!!!

    Maybe these are the new ones. I had ordered one. They said it was for the v3 so I bought it. I am non biased when it comes to coils. If someone can produce one that works better, it's mine. Long story short. I sold it due to the D2 performed as deep but separated way better and was nice and...

    Overload coil at 14-15

    I would say it is good. I had a d2 that would overload above 10. I had read that it was bad and lost its null. Whites sent a new one. I was able to compare the two and the one that lost its null performed just as good as the new one. Seldom do I ever go above rx10 anyway. If ever.

    v3 to v3i. happy so far with what I've found

    I did hit a spot today before work that had high EMI in a certain location. The machine did run smooth with a higher disc and rx than the v3 did. I was impressed.

    v3 to v3i. happy so far with what I've found

    Got the v3 back as a v3i. Very impressed with Whites as usual. basically set everything up the same as the v3 though. I didn't find polar plot of great use. I use Spectro screen, pinpoint and pinpoint for analyze mode yet. Modulation is exactly different from the v3. 0= deep targets sounding...

    What do detectorist use to put dirt on while digging a hole

    Anyone kneel on these things? Guess that is why I use a rubber mat from a car. Can kneel on the corner even in slight gravel, don't worry about getting pants or knee dirty. Rolls up nice and very sturdy. Pretty neat of how many different things people use. Was waiting for someone to say they use...

    Detecting on top of parking structure

    Accept everything and turn unwanted signals to Zero for sound. Run a low filter and recovery around 40 Sweep real slow and listen for any chirps that might be a coin. Then focus on this spot and sweep back and forth a couple inches or so until you can pinpoint. This is what I do at the local...

    What do detectorist use to put dirt on while digging a hole

    I wanted to bring this up just in case there is someone out there that doesn't use any kind of device (Towel or mat) to lay down next to a hole and place the dirt on after digging the horseshoe plug. I use an old cheap rubber 12"x12" rear car floor mat. I sit it down by the hole. Kneel on the...

    Interesting fact about v3 / v3i .(I think it is anyway)

    Called a Whites Service center today in IL. Asking about sending my unit in for the upgrade. The person on the phone explained what to do. I asked how long would the turnaround time would be. She asked Where I was from. I told her Wisconsin. She stated only a couple of days. I then had thought...

    Cool wireless earbuds for v3

    When I purchased my V3 I figured I'd save a few bucks and opt out of the wireless headphones that were a $200 option and use corded ones when needed. I've got to the point where I was wishing I had purchased them and was debating on ordering some. But with the hot weather headphones do get...

    Virgin spot

    The gold coming in @ 7.5 I believe is because of it being more pure. The lesser gold, 10K and suck comes in @ 22.5. like cheaper wedding bands. Take a $20 gold coin and it hits a solid 73 with 2.5 as the dominant freq. (have been able to test these). I posted a real old wheathered gold band a...

    Question for Magic or someone with a 10x14 Excellerator

    My guess I'll have to wait for one to pop up on ebay. Kellyco only has the Butterfly coils. I had a 15x12 butterfly but didn't really like it compared to the D2. Thanks allot, Todd..

    Question for Magic or someone with a 10x14 Excellerator

    I cannot seem to find where I thought you once posted that you had a 10x14 exCellerator for your DFX and you were going to try it out on the V3. Maybe I had read wrong , not sure. But if you did, does it perform as good as it did on the DFX ? I had a DFX with one and loved it and am curious as...

    Question What do you guys think about ??

    I owned a F 70 with the 11 elliptical . Allot of falsing compared to this. I had to crank the settings way up for the depth gain but would then false out allot.

    Do you take the chance of leaving your V3 in a hot trunk to use after work?

    I know I'm going to keep taking my v3 with me to work. I usually do. Will hit an area for an hr. or so before work then keep it in my trunk. I work afternoons. Today was terribly hot out and the v3 worked flawless. I got off work early and used it tonight to find some of the finds. So I would...

    Out with the D2 today

    Magic, you stated you forgot your earbuds at home. I made the mistake of not ordering wireless headphones when I bought the v3. Had kinda wished I would have when around allot of people now. I did find some "Auvio Wireless Digital Earbuds" on ebay. The little box basically plugs into the back of...

    Got My D2 back!

    Magic may have had better luck than myself with the 15x12 SEF. I ended up selling mine due to After using it a bit I did a full blown comparison with the D2 in test beds and it was about the same for depth but heavier. I now use the Super 12 in open fields. That seems to get about an inch more...
