    Back light setting affecting pinpoint tone quality

    Pick a "canned" program like Coin & Jewelry with VCO on. Normally, my pinpoint VCO tone has a nice even ramp up and ramp down in tone as the coil passes over the target. If I set my Back Light setting to 1 or 2 or 3 the VCO tone takes on a individual flute type notes instead of the smooth ramp...

    Got my replacement coils back today

    Back on June 23 I sent my D2 and Super 12 coils back to Whites for replacement. Both of them were generating a lot of false signals and noise when the coil is held in the air (or on the ground) and softly giggled. They were making noise when they touched anything and also at the end of a...

    Setting up a V3 to hunt a specific site

    Is anyone out there detailed enough to compile a step by step procedure to set up a V3 to hunt a specific site? For example; using the Live Control Sensitivity Zoomed to determine starting points for RX, Disc, All Metal settings. Ground Balance/Tracking...

    Found an 1879 tie tack/cuff link

    I'm sorry to say I haven't been out MD'ing much the last few months. The weather has been great here lately so I decided to go to a small "unmarked" park not far from here. I hunted it hard with my DFX that last few years and managed a large cent and a very nice 1861 half dime. I wasn't...

    Problem with V3 at FRESH water beach - suggestions appreciated

    I've had my V3 for 2 months and have had fairly good results at inland locations. This time of the year I like to hunt the fresh water beaches in my area. I've been to the these beaches 5 or 6 times with the V3 and have just not been able to get it to work properly. Today, I was determined to...

    Wireless headphone problem

    Has anyone else had a problem with the surface material that covers the foam pads that go around your ears peeling off? Only on one of the ear pieces the outside material is peeling off, it looks a lot like your skin when it peels from a sunburn.

    Found a few keepers with the V3

    Last week I knocked on the door and obtained permission to hunt at this home. As you might expect, there was a ton of trash in the ground, very challenging. Ran the 9 1/2" coil from my DFX on the V3 for this hunt. Three days of hunting produced this collection plus a lot of trash that...

    Hot Rock Reject

    It is raining here today so I am spending some time looking at the V3 Complete Owner's Guide. As you know, hot rock signal responses are assigned to VDI +95. One feature I like on my DFX is that when you set the Hot Rock Reject control to 10 the hot rock response is simply ignored. Settings...

    First ring while using the V3

    The ground around here is dry and very hard and I'm wearing myself out digging everything the V3 finds in an effort to learn the machine. Sooo, I decided to take it to the beaches (fresh water) in Erie, PA where I could scoop instead of dig. Targets were very sparse. Bear in mind that the...

    Restore?

    I've had my V3 for 3 days. I've tinkered around with the Coin program settings. I wanted to restore the program to the factory settings so I did a Restore. Now the Coin program shows on the list with a check mark in front of it and a "+/-" behind it. The Complete Owners Guide (page 16)...

    Question for Excalibur users

    I got a new Excalibur 1000 last week. I've been told by others that this is normal, is it? When I swing the coil over a trash (most likely iron) target the threshold nulls and then a very LOUD low tone sounds. This tone does not go away unless I move the coil near my scoop, or switch to pin...

    Excalibur 1000 Question

    How does the Excalibur work on fresh water beaches, in and out of the water? Also, I realize it is heavy but how well does it work inland, say for example, hunting around a cellar hole?
