    V3 Videos

    Thanks for the links Neil. I have found a number like that, but they just show me the finds. I am looking for something a bit more instructional. Something that actually shows the V3 in use so that I can learn from seeing it in use. I will keep searching, and if someone has something along...

    Hello everyone, New to this forum and new to the V3 - it should arrive next week. I have hunted with the XLT for about 10 years + and decided it was time to move up. Can anyone direct me to some videos that show the V3 being used in the field. I have watched the White's features videos on...

    ACE 250 coils question

    Hello everyone, I had a dealer tell me today that the coils for the Ace 250 were DD and not concentric. He said that that was why people have trouble pinpointing with it. Are they DD? They look like concentric coils to me and some of my friends. There is no reference as to if they are DD or...

    7.5 KHz DD coil - 10.5 inch question

    Hello all, I received my new coil yesterday and decided to give it a try in my test garden. I noticed something that I have not noticed with the other coils I have (6 inch DD, elliptical DD and standard concentric coil), it produces a triple beep as it passes over a coin that is shallow in...

    Swing Speed Help Needed

    Hello All, As an former XLT detector swinger, I am having a hard time with just how fast (or slow) I need to swing the detector for maximum performance. I read a post that talked about an 8 second swing - I tried that and it was just less than painful. I viewed the X-70 video, and it was...

    Hot ground

    Still learning the X-70, and I am wondering what ground balance number indicates that I am detecting in hot ground? Also, are sensitivity settings and hot ground balance numbers inversly related - or put another way, when the gound balance numbers indicate I am in hotter ground, should I...

    2 coil questions

    Hello everyone, I have the standard coil and I am wondering if the 10 inch DD coil is easier to pinpoint with than the concentric coil, and if the 10 inch DD will go as deep as the standard coil. Thanks. Darryl

    Coil Weight Question

    Hello Everyone, I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, and as a result, my endurance level is much lower than it use to be. I am unable to hunt with a detector that is very heavy at the coil end. That was one of the main reasons I sold my Explorer XS. I have hunted with my X-70...

    Middle shaft question

    Hello everyone, I am still new to the X-terra 70, and I am learning a lot from using it and reading here. Great site indeed! My question is if anybody has this issue: When I tighten the middle shaft twist lock as much as possible, it is still allows the lower rod/shaft to wiggle a bit. I...

    TID question

    Hello everyone, I am new to the X-Terra 70, but am getting more used to it each day I use it. I hunt a local park that a womens volleyball tournament takes place each year. Can someone tell me the TID range on the Xterra for gold (and silver) rings? I recognize that the content of the ring...

    How does the 10" DD coil compare to the 5X10 DD? Are they comparable for coin hunting? Do I really need both?

    Pinpointing frustrations

    OK -- I took out my X-terra 70 for the first time today and hunted at a local park. I used the standard coil. I went through all the motions (noise cancel, ground balance, etc,) and elected to hunt mostly in the all metal mode, Sensitivity was set at 15 and the detector was stable. I heard many...
