    V3 is now like a supercharged DFX!

    I just received a Whites Eclipse 950, which has V3 stamped in the attachment point, today! So I took the stock D10 coil off the V3 and installed the 950 and took it outside to see how it acted. I can say I am very pleased with the way it acts, like a DFX on steroids! Quarters are solid hits...

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    I have been reading all the threads on this forum, it appears at the suggestion of others that the 950 coil will be sweet on my V3 whilst at the beaches. The D2 coil may be ideal off the beach in my area, but not on the beach. Cybersage has weighed in on this coil, and he appears to be the...

    Expensive mistake

    Does anybody use an ultrasonic cleaner or have tried one to clean finds? They are expensive and not everyone just has one sitting around, perhaps a jeweler would clean a coin or two for you. Randy

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    Well, if I can assume that you were using the salt beach program Jerry, and your V3 was unresponsive to a quarter sitting on top of the sand with stock settings, and my V3 sometimes freaks out on a quarter that is a few inches deep at the most, even after adjusting the sensitivity for all metal...

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    Jerry, can you say what you were unhappy with in particular about the pinpointing? In my case it seems overly sensitive where I get freeze up of the audio during pinpointing, or the audio seems to saturate and null when directly over the target, while in the salt beach program. The coin and...

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    Thanks Jerry. But wouldn't increasing sensitivity create an even more unstable condition? It would seem to me that I already potentially have a unstable condition in my case, or do higher numbers mean less sensitivity? I did find two pages preceding the two I mentioned in my post above, there...

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    Thanks for the tip on bottle cap reject, I have not tried that, and it is set to off by default. I still have my DFX with the 950 coil, I'll give it a try. BTW, I have gotten so used to how my DFX with my custom program on the beach reacts, I can most always rely on what it is telling me and...

    Is a different coil the solution to my previous post?

    Hi Again, I started a previous post here: Quirks learning the V3 or are there bugs to be ironed out? http://www.findmall.com/read.php?66,982761 Based on what I am experiencing at the beach, having moved up to the V3 from a DFX, and I have read in a number of threads here on the V3 that the DD...

    Quirks learning the V3 or are there bugs to be ironed out?

    Thanks, I did raise the coil and that helped some... I find that the analyse was effective at determining if it was large, such as in the buried treasure of beer cans!

    Quirks learning the V3 or are there bugs to be ironed out?

    Hi all, I have some updated detailed information. I went out today to a salt water beach (Hampton in NH) and more or less had the same results. John, I followed your suggestions, I don't think they had much impact... I am using the salt beach program, and quarters have a stronger 2.5...

    Quirks learning the V3 or are there bugs to be ironed out?

    Hi again, thanks for the input, I am going to go out again and confirm my findings based on your input. When pinpointing, I find that the tones hang, as well as the frequency signal strength bars. I find this was happening when I was X ing the target and would happen on a pass and I could hold...

    Quirks learning the V3 or are there bugs to be ironed out?

    Hi all, just my initial first time observations and post with the V3, any suggestions are welcome and I look forward to "developing" some nice tweaks for this cool machine! I have had a XLT in the past, and have had a DFX for some time now. I have used the DFX mostly on beaches and have come up...
