[size=medium]Hello fellow treasure hunters,
I just recently jumped back into the White's detector bandwagon, after owning MInelab's, SE Pro, E-trac and XS.. I just purchased a VX3 that FedEx will have here Tues afternoon. Before that, the only White's detector I've owned is the XLT (twice). I live less than a mile from the Gulf Coast Beach, but am really interested in digging old coins (silver) and old relics... In the early 90's,I murdered silver rings (mostly toe rings) and a couple of gold rings at the Florida beach with the XLT.. In 2010, after purchasing my second rainbow series XLT, I managed to dig a 1941 silver quarter (first silver) in wet salt sand at around 14" on a Mississippi beach on a beach program I had surfed for on the internet. I know that I will need to read the manual a few times. I've been reading the forums (including Rob's Links) and doing some youtube searching. I found this video (link below) and it looked like the VX3 wasn't hitting on the target every time. SHOULD I BE WORRIED THAT I WILL MISS SOMETHING? I know that the detector is only as good as the person that knows their machine. I've also read that I'm going to need to get rid of the stock coil. Am I going to need to find "V" rated coils (big and small; as I have one site that is littered with nails)?I really would appreciate any input.. THANKS[/size]
