Which is todays best larger coil for the V3i?

Since I got the V3i it has been very chirpy and sounded like it had a bad coil. I also have a MXT all pro with the same coil. The MXT is very stable so no issue. I swapped the coils and the V3i is still chirpy (unstable) I was thinking maybe it is the machine. But there is no place to check it or I don't know of one. I bought a Eclipse 5.3 which I can use on either machine. I put it on the V3i today and it settled it right down. I made a place to test some coins and it separates and identifies as it should. The weather is poor so didn't take it outside to test it. I have a back yard where I recently had an apartment and 3 garages torn down and there was a lot of metal junk. The ground is going to be full of metal junk. The few times I took the V3i out there it was hard on the ears. Really want to try it with the smaller more stable coil.
Hello, me again. The best thing a new owner of a used Spectra can do IS the master-reset. There are so many different settings to chose from and to change to get the best out of the detector it is hard to calm down a unstable machine. Most users tend to change this and that and another and...oh what a mess, lets try a different program and start from scratch to change every thing and ...?! Been there, done that. The used machines I had where so unstable and noisy it was a mess. To me the master-reset did the job and modifying programs was done in a rush. May be this will be helpful to you, too. But be aware to hit CALIBRATION!
All the Best & Good Luck

I’ve had mine since 09. My favorite coil is a applied creations Hotfoot for a DFX (3x9) it’s a coin vacuum. You may also want to set the recovery speed to 45
