    I am still here found today

    I have not been able to hunt lately but I got out a little today. I thought I would post this to let everyone know I am still around.

    Whites

    I have not been here in a while so I am wondering what happened to the Whites forums?

    V Finds

    I read in one of the other Forums where the V is about extinct. They said you never see any posts where the V users are finding anything. Well I say BS I will start by saying I found a 1988 Indian and two Wheats yesterday plus a bunch of clad. That is not saying much except I had went over this...

    VX3

    I am enjoying my VX3. I finally got a Sunray Probe for it and for some reason I dont think it has the depth of my Etrac but I just plain enjoy hunting with it. I really got frustrated with the V3i. I am finding some good coins with it except for Indians. No Indians so far. I am wondering about...

    Surprised

    I was surprised. I got a Wheat at a full 6" with my VX3 with a 4X6 coil. Funny thing though it read a 80 VDI

    Set Ground Balance

    Just wondering out loud here. Most Tesoro Detectors have set Ground Balance. It seems like if you hunted with the Whites V Series for a good while on Auto the Locked the Ground Balance, you would think the GB should be pretty close and there would be no need to check GB very often after that. I...

    14 Wheat

    Went to a secluded old Farm House and only found One Penny but it seems it is one of the rare 1914s. I can not see a Mint Mark so I am betting it is not the 1914D which is the most rare. The Back is almost smooth. It was at least 8" down and found it with the Etrac using a Sunray 8" coil.

    Etrac vs VX3

    A while back I realized I had two Etracs and I missed that great screen on the V3i. Now I sold the V3I because I spent more time adjusting than hunting. Really got tired of that. I sold one of my Etracs and bought a VX3. It did not take long to get back into the adjustments and I was glad the...

    VX3 acting Strange

    Just switched my VX3 from Coins to Coin & Jewelry. I gained 4" at least of depth on a Nickle. I wrote down the settings and applied them all to Coin and everything is still the same no depth on Nickle at all. Switched back to Coins and Jewelry and it comes back. Same Coil same Sensitivity 3 Freq...

    VX3 Sensitivity Simplied

    Bought the VX3 because the V3i kinda overwhelmed me. I was still having problems figuring out settings especially sensitivity. I called Mary at the Whites factory and was told this. First adjust the Discriminate setting to around 75 to 80 to the amount of false signals you can tolerate, then...

    Faster VX3

    Ok Guys I got my VX3 and I want it faster with more Separation in Trashy House Sites. I turned my SAT up Higher and turned my Recovery Delay lower from Factory Settings. Turned my Sensitivity up slightly and I put on a 6X10 DD Eclipse Coil on it instead on the 9.5 Concentric. I will need to get...

    Pinpointer

    I need to get another Pinpointer. I had two Carrots and 1 Mars Pinpointer. I was Detecting with a young boy who did not have a Pinpointer so I gave him my Mars Pinpointer, I should have given him a Carrot. What is a recommendation for a Pinpointer. I do not want one that has Side Detection like...

    Coil Discussion

    Formula given to me by a very knowledgeable person to predict depth based solely on coil size is this. Length plus Width divided by 2 = depth. This seems to be close but bigger Eliptical DD coils usually don't live up to this such as a 10X6 under the formula should get 8". in reality the width...

    VX3 Coil

    Besides the Stock Coil, what is a recommended Coil for a VX3 for hunting trashy houses. I do need to get down to 8" with it.

    V3i vs VX3

    I had a V3i and sold it because it was just so complicated. Thinking of getting a VX3 now. Missing the good screen and excellent Discrimination. Is the VX3 easier to operate. I thought I was pretty efficient with the V3i but seemed to spend more time tweaking than hunting. Will I be happy...

    Disappointed in this Group

    I changed my Audio from Normal to Smooth and loved it. Why is nobody else running this?

    Advantage 600 or 800

    Still to see no claims of advances. For me the 600 would be fine because I do no prospecting but exactly what is this detector supposed to do better than my two Etracs.

    Deus

    We had two Etracs with good operators hunt the same place with a Deus and he kicked our rears. He is getting just a little more depth. My only thought is to run Deep On and Fast Off. Any other suggestions?

    Unusual Find

    Got out to hunt a little today and ground was so hard I almost quit. Found 5 Wheats, One Silver Ring, and this thing. I gave the Ring to the Owner and picked up another Property. This thing is unusual and I am close to Baylor University. So far nothing on it though.

    Etrac Settings and Tutorial

    Guys I am terrible at this but here is the Video I promised of Etrac, Settings, and Software. You need to expand this to full screen to watch it. I hope this will answer some questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuvXwMMzH9E&feature=youtu.be Here is a link to my Etrac Backup File for use...
