Whites VX3 is a noise box

[chuckmm]

Hello to all! I am new to this forum, I took my vx3 out on the frozen grounds to day for about an hour or so and did find some clad, 3 quarters, 3 dimes and 7 pennies Oldest being 1974 copper. pull tabs and a very tiny metal button.
I am finding it a little difficult with all of the sounds this machine makes. Any ideas how to figure them out as to dig or not to dig? I do use the VDI sometimes but mostly go buy sound. With all of the sounds this machine makes in tone id or mixed mode it is hard to distinguish the item found. I was used to the tone id on the xlt and few others but this one throws me off somewhat.

You can set all 191 VDI to any tone you want or no tone on the V3i model. Therefore you can make it sound anyway you want. You can make it just like your XLT if you want. I usually run between 4 and 5 tones in my programs.

It seems like the V gets a bad rap because it will do more than guys old detectors. I love the versitility of the V3i tones.

I use V3i and Xlt and have no problem . GB, GB, GB,

 

[vx3 man]

Can u assign tones for the vx3?

 

[Rob (IL)]

No, you can't change the tones on the VX3.

BUT
The VX3 has the ability to produce a different tone for each VDI
number. But it can also produce a simple beep/no beep audio for
those who don

I didn't think u could just wanted to be sure thanks for info

If he can handle the one tone XLT, he can make the Vx3 a one tone detector to make it quietier..

I also went from an xlt to the vx3. Give the tones some time it will start to make sense.
