    I've been hunting for a few weeks now and thought I would share my silver finds for the year.

    U.S. War Service

    I found this at a house built in 1893. Does anyone have any idea what it is, what it was attached to or better yet the age of it??? Thanks

    Any members in the Salt Lake City area????

    Hi Monte, Larry (IL) suggested I get a hold of you to compare notes about the SLC area. I do indeed belong to a local detecting club but think I'm the only one in it using a V3. I have several coils to choose from (10" DD, 950, 6"x10" and 4"x6") and hunt anywhere I can. I've recently been...

    Real helpful......njgreg. I did what you asked ak_1234. I hit zero and the "Phase VDI" on the ground probe screen went from (+92) to (-93) and the three frequency readings with the coil on the ground were: 2.5 KHz = 177.1 7.5 KHz = 176.9 22.5 KHz = 175.8

    Well I took out the "Vision" today and it gave me fits!!!!!!!!!!! Very, very noisy!!!!!! I could not get the RX gain past 2 (even when the unit recommended 15) no matter what ground filter I used. I tweaked the frequency and ground tracking offsets to get the machine as quite as I could and...

    Thanks guys, I am going out Monday and will keep you posted. I will definitely try the 5 HZ. Do you suggest 5 HZ Band pass or High????

    Hey Larry good to here from you again, hope all is well. I've been metal detecting for a few years, never on a daily basis though. I started with a DFX and had numerous problems with it, which made it a little hard to figure out if it was me or the detector. White's was always there to teach...

    I agree with the V3 being very fickle. There are days it works great, minus the depth issues and other days I just cant get the unit stable. Makes no sense to me. I've never tried the 5Hz because the books says to use the higher HZ for mineralized ground. I set the Hot Rock at -10 because I...

    Are you running the recommended RX? Why isn't your discrimination higher than 80? If you are running 10HZ or 12HZ you need to be swinging fast and have to lower your recovery time. I get deeper with a longer recovery time, a higher sensitivity, and a slower swing. I also seem to get deeper using...

    Could you still answer this?Case in point, I'll detect with someone who uses a different brand detector and they will pick up signals that I can't. What detector were they using? How deep were their finds? What did they find? The person I was hunting with was using an SE Pro and found two...

    The ground out here is very mineralized and I was told to try a higher ground filter to compensate for the mineralization. I will bump it back down to 10 HZ High and see if that helps any??? The unit will recommend an RX gain as high as 15 but for stability reasons it won't let me set it that...

    Hi All, I've been using the V3 in the Salt lake City area for a few months now and can rarely achieve a target signals past 4 inches. The deepest signal I ever got just happened to be the first thing I dug with the V3 and it was a 1948 dime at approx. 6, maybe 7 inches. It was soon discovered...

    *** 9x5 eclipse DD coil ***

    I removed my 4x6 coil, installed the 6x10 and could not get it to stabilize. I will have to do some tweaking to get the 6x10 to work. Do you have any programing tips. I live in SLC Utah and was basically using the stock coin and jewelery program. I messed with the Rx gain, Disc. and all metal...

    Goldfever

    Larry is absolutely right. Carl went to Florida State. He also choose those colors for the Mixed mode screen. Carl had his V3 custom painted to those colors, I've seen it in person and it looks awesome!!!

    *** 9x5 eclipse DD coil ***

    Carl, have you compared the 4x6 to the 6x10? I have both for my V3 but haven't gotten around to using the 6x10 yet. Does the 6x10 get a little extra depth?

    Explorer SE coils

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to this hobby and use a Minelab Se. I have a pro coil and a 10" slimline coil but was looking at getting a smaller coil? I would like to know which small coil for this unit would give me the best depth and separation? Thanks WYD
