    One last question to V3 and V3i owners

    I'm new to the V3i also but have put many hours on XLT's in the past, what I've done with the V3i is use a stock program, and just bump up the gain and disc sens. This will give you more depth over the stock settings. I run them as high as I can while keeping the machine stable. There are...

    Vx3 Question

    Sounds like you're running hot like john said, 10 and 80 is pretty high for a lot of areas. I'd back off some and see how it goes. Even going a few points lower on the sens you'd be surprised how deep they go and much easier they are to use, I usually push the limits but I hate an overly...

    What setting could make a v3i ID incorrectly?

    Nope postal, I'm in PA and using US coins. I'll have to take it out in the front yard tomorrow and see how it behaves with the custom program, I'm thinking it might be interference. I'm having a lot of luck (air test anyway) with the stock coin/jewelery mode and bumping up the gain and disc...

    Settings for a faster sweep speed?

    Thanks guys, the targets where I hunt are few and far between sometimes so I like to hunt and cover a lot of ground, and I have attention issues and have to keep on the move haha. I'd like to get a similar sweep speed to my old XLT's, the speed worked well for me. I'm going to test out the...

    What setting could make a v3i ID incorrectly?

    Thanks, I'm running Gain, Sens, etc lower because of the EMI's indoors, and I really can't do much with ground tracking or any features like that in air test but I'm just getting use to the menu, target ID, and tones. It should allow me to run pretty hot in the woods around here, I use to run...

    Settings for a faster sweep speed?

    Thanks! I wasn't sure, the manual didn't really say if lower or higher was for a faster sweep speed. So I'll make sure to lower that.

    Settings for a faster sweep speed?

    What settings should I adjust if I have a faster sweep speed? Not super fast but I like to cover ground. It seems like the stock settings are made for slow sweeps?

    What setting could make a v3i ID incorrectly?

    I've been messing around with setting on my V3i and when I make a few small adjustments it tends to start ID'ing the targets incorrectly even at point blank range. I am doing this indoors and in air test, could it be when I run hot it's the interference that's screwing up the reading? When I...

    Just bought a new V3i!

    Thanks for all the tips and advice, I've been messing around with the V3i, adjusted most of the settings the way I like them, set up a custom coin/relic program suited to my faster sweep speed, and adjusted the tones. I hope it's a good combo and works well in the field. :smile:

    Considering V3i

    I don't blame you, with all the fakes coming out of China I'd avoid E-bay. Always best to use a dealer, especially nowadays. The only other competition I seen for the V3i while researching it was the CTX3030 and E-trac, they both look like great machines but I've owned 2 Explorers, a Sov, and a...

    Just bought a new V3i!

    Thank's everyone. I mainly want the larger coil for the ground coverage since most of the sites I hit are open and not very trashy. I use to run the Pre-amp and AC sens really high on my XLT which worked well for me at my sites but I'll have to see how the V3i will handle the same locations...

    Considering V3i

    If you can afford a new one go for it. I understand about the refurbished item's, I bought a laptop from HP and it was a huge letdown, however I do trust Whites, as they are very good with their products and issues with them. I believe White's does offer their certified items in A,B, or C...

    Just bought a new V3i!

    yeah great link thanks! Hopefully I can get some basic depth and stability adjustments down and get in some detecting later this week. Most of my sites are old with little trash so I dig every signal, disc isn't too much of a concern for me right now, so I can work on adjusting that later...

    Considering V3i

    I just purchased a V3i this week and can tell you that it is a very fun and interesting detector, unfortunately I have no time in the field, however I have no doubts that it will do very well. As to buying one, I bought a factory certified unit which comes checked out by Whites techs with a...

    The VX3 tones makes me want to grab a piece of wood and start gnawing on it

    I was debating getting a VX3 but was lucky enough to grab a factory certified model for the same price as a new VX3 and to my surprise the factory certified model was actually a new machine. My decision was mainly based on the accessories such as the charger and rechargeable battery pack, and...

    Just bought a new V3i!

    Thanks! What do you mean by extend the menu's on the live screen? I am familiar with on the fly adjustments such as sensitivity and disc, is that what you mean, the menu across the bottom of the search screen? Once I get it Wednesday I'll start messing around with the programs, I did use an...

    Just bought a new V3i!

    Hey everyone, just bought a new V3i, well most of it was paid for as a Christmas gift so unfortunately I can't touch it until Christmas. I have the manual though which I've been reading. I have a few questions, does anyone know any deep seeking programs for normal soil? The soil here in Se PA...

    Kay Sax Detroit Paris? Lighter?

    Anyone have any idea what this is? I dont think it is a lighter? I found it at a cellar hole, finds dated from the 1700's into the early 1900's.
