Hello everybody, This question is mainly for New V3 owners in the UK. I have only haf the V3 for 3 weeks and am still experimenting with it. At the moment apart from all the bells and whistles and a lovely colour screen it is not better than my Fisher F75. I know that it is a steep learning curve and that it is probably my fault not the machines thts why I'm asking for help from someone else. The metal content and make up of American coins are different to the UK ones which the machine is based on so the UK resposes to the various fixed programmes are different over here. Also the metal content of Roman coins is also very different with anthing from copper to bronze and silver. Is there anyone out there who can suggest any settings or programmes with adjustments that would help in finding Romans with the V3. The reason that I got the V3 and not the E trak was because of the increased chances of knowing what was in the ground before digging. Like the V3 ad says " See whats in the ground before you dig" I am going to try to create a new programme with a new set of adjustments just for Roman coins and call it obviously "Roman". Over here in the UK it seems that the Minelabs have the edge with depth as they can pick up coins in fields where other detectorists hav e already been and " Cleaned up". Then the E traks go in and with the extra depth pull out coins from that extra depth. I believe that the V3 can do this if not better with all the advantages of all the various settings. But.... MY GOD... it is so complicated to learn. So many things to adjust.I can see why Whites built in a few programmes for the swith on and go people. Otherwise people would give up. SO......is there anyone out there who can suggest any settings for deep small Bronze coins. I really would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks everyone. Geoff. ( Roman Virgin) Devon England.
