    PINPOINTING PROBLEM

    Hello Redbird: Are you ever getting targets beyond about 6"? Of curse, in some ground/places there woudn't be many deep targets at all. However, sometimes, like at the beach or in sandy ground its more likely. With my theoretical V3 problem, I just never ever saw deep targets regardless of...

    PINPOINTING PROBLEM

    Hi Carl: Thank you for your reply. Edited to add: I hunted in Coin and Coin Jewelry with the occasional forray into deep silver. Basically, I just adjusted coin and jewelry gain and Disc Sens until it quieted down. I also used Tone ID and turned off Modulation. No bottle cap reject or hot...

    PINPOINTING PROBLEM

    Hi Larry: I appreciate your post very much. If I got the sense that Whites was trying to deny these problems that I have had confirmed by other users I would be really upset. I respect integrity more than I respect perfection. You obviously care about White's users and doing all you can...

    PINPOINTING PROBLEM

    Larry: Perhaps you should talk to Todd and Anne at White's. Both of them examined the two V3s which were sent in by me. One was mine, one was my partners. They were sent in due to depth problems with pinpoint mode and search mode. Both detectors were determined to be defective from the...

    What causes....

    Does it false if you tap the side of the coil when you are holding it steady in the air well above the ground and away from EMI? What does ground probe give you when its held in the air? Does the coil overload if you have it well above the ground and turn the TX boost on when your gain is...

    Thinking about a V3 could use some opinions

    "The problem machine thing is not the true reality" Unless, of course, you got one of them, as confirmed by the factory. Tater.

    Analysis Screen Shot

    These screenshots are exactly what happens with different coin orientations, it is very easy to replicate. Place the quarter flat on the ground, stand it straight up, or angle it to the side in the dirt. Whether or not the "right-left" orientation is the same as that shown I can't say, as I...

    Thinking about a V3 could use some opinions

    Hi: Even though my partner and I have had every single thing go wrong with our machines (pod explosion, bad coil, mis-tuned from the factory for depth and a pinpoint depth problem) all have been fixed professionally and quickly(we both got brand new V3s overnighted, wow) from the factory...

    THEY HAD A VISION

    Sorry to hear that, Aaron. Grim news all around. :( You owe yourself a get-away weekend, if there's snow on the ground in Michigan when your machine comes in drive south half a day, you deserve it. Tater.

    THEY HAD A VISION

    Hi: Interesting question. I purchased two very slightly used Visions from the same dealer one for me and one for my partner. One was his "dealer model" and one was from a customer who wasn't "that into the machine." Interestingly, I wasn't satisfied with mine and neither was my partner...

    Considering Buying A - Spectra V3 ???

    Hi - I'm a beginner who started with an MXT then ended up with a V3 as a second detector to share with my partner. I had a minor problem with mine from the factory ((whites took great care of me on that)), but I know that when I get it back I will understand it and grow into it because I'm a...

    1st day with my new V3

    Hi Aaron: I'd be reluctant to check anyplace off as somewhere you "won't be able to detect with the V3" All of the things Anne mentions can really have an effect after you get used to adjusting them and the adjustments are pretty easy to make, thanks to the easy-to-use window/menu system...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    Update from the village idiot: It turns out that both my detector amd my partners detector (also v3) were defective and are being replaced by whites. In particular, mine was defective in a way that impacted depth. Hopefully all we have learned trying to tweak around will help us be super good...

    Is it the machine or me? analyze mode

    Thats a great tip on the shipping...and you don't know the half of the overpaying. I shipped a box with two detectors overnight! This is because I have to have them back in time for a detecting vacation to the desert. $100 anybody? It will be worth it to save the va-cay if we can get them...

    What are your thoughts on having a DD coil as stock

    Hi Jerry: Yes, some of the VDIs can off, so I guess if you're big on discrimination then it could be annoying. I don't pay as much mind to the VDIs as most people I think because I'm still a "Dig it all above 10" person with an attempt to ditch bottle caps screw caps, and big items. I hunt...

    Great news! You just saved yourself $25 in shipping and a week of suffering and misery without your detector. Tater

    What are your thoughts on having a DD coil as stock

    I run a bigfoot on my V, it doesn't overload with TX boost, got it on Ebay. Depth is about 3-4" and my machine and I haven't quite figured out how to see past 5 inches with the regular coils. Its a lot of fun to use. If you really like the BF, maybe consider picking one up on ebay. If yours...

    What do you do when...

    Nice Jbow! Here's to feeling better and making that VDI list so you can post it up for the rest of us. :) I don't know enough to know about other detectors for other conditions, as I'm a beginner. Its just that the V3 is so customizable that with the right coil it can do everything, even...

    What do you do when...

    You are without your detector due to travel, or you can't detect during weather? I'm in California where you can detect almost every day all year if you have your machine and as a result I'm so addicted that I struggle to do something else to fill the time... This time its the gym. I started...
