    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    I thought the place to go for help is the forums, with Whites as the end-all authority if you can't find what you need? Where do you go for help if you need it? It seems like a huge part of the traffic here is people looking for, getting, and giving assistance to other detectorists when they...

    Pinpointing with the vision

    This is just so a symptom of signal overload though, it seems like somebody ought to be able to fix it. My detector is at whites and I reeeeeeally wish I had it, I won't send it in again unless I have another one to use, its an addiction!! Here's one possible solution too - You say the problem...

    Is it the machine or me? analyze mode

    The sweep speeds in analyze mode seem to be preset very slow, much slower than search swing speeds. The preset for most (I think maybe all) of the programs is 2, which means that the graph will try to display all of the data that it sees in 2 seconds of sweeping. This would suggest that you...

    Pinpointing with the vision

    Man, I'm sorry it didn't quite fix it. 99% of the time, tho somebody on here knows a fix, one of the guys with way more experience will know of something most likely. I hope you get it straightened around quick. Tater

    Do yourself a Big Favor and if you have not read the manual.. read the manual !

    I think it would be great if there was a reverse-modulation option. With current modulation, the deeper targets sound off with a softer tone and closer targets are louder. (FWIW, 5 is no modulation, lower numbers integrate modulation). It seems that the primary purpose of using modulation...

    Since we know that a VDI shift can occur due to high ground mineralization or proximity to another target, is it possible that frequency response could be impacted by the same conditions? In my case, in the exact same location most gold item pinpoint graphs were dominated by 22.5, while just...

    Custom Coin Program

    I have found this when testing gold rings on the ground over fairly highly mineralized ground. The dominant 7.5 frequency appeared in pinpoint mode, I did not use analyze mode in search frequency but can try that when my V3 comes back from whites. Additionally, I noticed that the the same...

    Thinking of getting a V3....

    I can't wait to hear which frequency shows strongest on a deer. I am guessing that it could be any frequency if you are chasing it, but it is more likely to be 22.5 if it the deer is motionless on the ground. You are chasing the animal and showing 7.5 or 2.5 dominant in both search and...

    Pulltabs

    I have had some gold, including 14k stamped wedding band, showing the 7.5 frequency as the dominant frequency in pinpoint mode. This was done conducting a surface-test on fairly highly mineralized ground. However, all other sample gold items (3-4 items) showed the 22.5 frequency as dominant...

    Pinpointing with the vision

    I had a problem like this, I decreased the sensitivity in all metal mode and it helped. Note that when switching between programs you will be switching to that programs sensitivity settings, so you will have to adjust it again. I tend to leave mine at about 50. If you are trying to pinpoint...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    Being stupid isn't a privilege to be abused, Monte, it is hard earned honor, and it comes with a badge that should be worn with pride. With enough head injuries, hours of reality television, artificial sweeteners, and sleep deprivation, you might be able to achieve it. If you're not...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    You know, some of us love to fiddle with stuff...and have fiddled for dozens of hours an more... And are still having problems and *wonder* if there is something wrong with the box. Now, I know those of you who have machines that are working great have a hard time conceiving that there may be...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    Aw heck...who would you rather be, anyway? a :nerd: with a detector that goes 18 inches or a :super: that just looks good detecting? Wait...don't answer that!! Tater

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    The DVDs are a great point to consider, and the third arm of the V3:Intelligence triangulation! You see, as a Mouth Breather, I actually ran into trouble with my DVD. Seems that the drool on my laptop keyboard prevented my machine from playing more than one chapter of the DVD, then it really...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    OMG! This makes perfect sense. The depth that you achieve with your V3 correlates with your IQ, hence, Joe Average = Average Depth! This can be triangulated with the hypothesis regarding reading the owners manual. If you are just plain stupid, then you are also less likely to have read your...

    Does anyones V3 work properly?

    The few problems that we have had aside, if the machine is still finding enough to keep us busy fairly happy for hundreds of hours each (about 500 total), it DOES speak well of the detecting experience with the V3, which we bought due to having such a FANTASTIC time with the MXT. The...

    Who is getting deep (coins at 8 inches) and how are you doing it?

    Edit on the above post...my partner and I have done the math, I have over 250 hours on this machine and she has another 200+ on it, for close to 500 hours. With all of this time, we have 4 silvers to report and less than 10 finds greater than 6 inches. We have detected 3 beaches, multiple...

    Who is getting deep (coins at 8 inches) and how are you doing it?

    Hi Guys: I detected for several months in a field where i live in CA, at home in Indiana and at the beach with an MXT for several months. I regularly found coins, mostly clad of course :), and jewelry (for the most part junk) at 8+ inches, particularly in a field that my partner and I were...
