    Key date Mercury___"NOT"

    Had an hour or two to get out with the Deus across from the house in a cut corn field. Was running a 12khz coin program that is good for trashy areas and this place is very trashy. About 10 minutes into the hunt found this mercury, dirt was caked on and frozen but I could tell was an older coin...

    Out for a Picnic - Coins that is

    My metal detecting buddy is retired and does a considerable amount of research during winter months in search of possible coin detecting sites.He had one on his list several miles away that sounded really good and was used in the early 1900's. He was able to secure permission from the landowner...

    :clapping: customer service

    Namron13 I had a similar experience with my wireless headphones. The plastic "clips"(as Whites calls them) above each ear cup were cracked, one side completely cracked and barely holding on.The padded ear cups were also getting a little rough looking. Called Whites in Sweet Home and a nice young...

    Has anyone heard from Magic?

    He lives right down the road from me. I see him out and about every once in awhile. Doug and I used to detect together all of the time. We haven't had any contact for going on 2 years now. He might also have married not too long ago, not sure though. I don't see him post on any of the detecting...

    3rd Stroll with the Deus

    Sorry, no pics. My buddy and I got permission at a new site we had researched, now a farm field. I was running Gary's "HOT" program as it seemed to work a little better in the field due to an extreme number of "hot-rock" or possibly magnetized rock interference. Anyway, after about the first...

    New Deus recieved.

    Well I traded my Fisher F75 Ltd for a new Deus. I got the WS5 headphones and the 9 inch coil. All appears to function normally, only have one complaint: out of the box the controller unit display is shifted to the left just a little and is apparent with the display turned on. As picky as I am...

    To Buy or Not to Buy?

    Guys. Been lurking here for several weeks now, reading about your hunts, viewing videos and photos from hunts as well as searching and reviewing You tube etc.., for information on the XP Deus. So far I have been pretty impressed but need some "pushing" to get me over the edge to buy one. I am...

    New F75SE-very nice!

    Just received my new F75SE this last Wednesday after ordering from Bart at Big Boys Hobbies. I would like to tip my hat to Bart. Excellent customer service, quick shipping. A pleasure doing business with him. On Wednesday when I got home from work, UPS left me my new F75. Couldn't wait to get...

    My V3i seems unstable now, please help with settings

    As mentioned, run Whites coil test, once you determine a bad coil, call Whites home office, tell them you have a bad coil, they will ship one out no questions asked. Thats what they did for me. I had a new coil in a matter of a few days. Called about sending the bad one in and was told it was...

    Everybody???

    I'm still around, just don't post often. Mostly look at lunchtime from my office desk. Haven't detected much here in Indiana due to drought conditions making any sod digging proposition too damaging in the areas I hunt. Don't want the hobby getting any more of a bad name than it already gets and...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    Neil, I really don't know if my Garrett Pro pointer interferes with my V3i or not. Generally, the first thing I do when I bend down to dig is push the Menu button to silence the detector. The Minelab pointer looks to be well made, but right now I will stick with my Pistol Probe(pulse unit) and...

    Deepest or hardest target you ever found and are glad you dug up thread.

    Last year I dug a Scovill Mfg.,1870's vintage, Indiana Militia tunic button(size of a nickel) at about 10 inches. I have retrieved some Merc's and Wheats at about 10 inches fairly consistent when the soil moisture is decent. Right now here in Indiana moisture is low and my desire to "hack" the...

    Coin custom programming

    I have a program set up like rustedwoodsman indicated with some VDI text entered. I use this program at locations where I could find older coins. I have several denominations such as VDI for half dime, fatty Indians, 2 and 3 cent, etc.., Rather than picking one VDI number for each denomination...

    V3i Depth for newbies

    I run Magics program and use 3 frequency. I routinely get 8-9 inches, down to a dime sized target, regardless of its orientation in the ground. This program also uses 5 band filter. Switching to single frequency(for me 7.5 or 2.5, most areas I hunt either works fine)I can gain another inch in...

    VX3 Newbie

    Since your primary goal is Parks and Schools, I would follow Rob's advice and get a used V3i, also hoping a good used deal would include the 4x6 sniper coil and perhaps the 6x9 elliptical. Typically even the used ones come with the cordless headphones which are very nice with the freedom of not...
