    V3i > How to reject foil > Asian region

    If you ever go detecting in Europe DON`T reject foil. This is the range small hammered coins fall into!!

    Hello Everyone I Need Help:confused:

    Hi there. If you are used to the Whites machines the learning curve is not so steep although there is still a period of learning to go through. The V3i will do all the Vx3 will, but the Vx3 will not do all the V3i is capable of. If you are willing to spend the extra cash I would recomend the V3i...

    VX3------V3i ?

    The way I look at it is the V3i will do everything the VX3 will but the VX3 will not do all the V3i will so no contest in my mind!!

    spectra v3i vs minelab

    When I was considering the purchase of a new detector I had a go with a detecting friends Minelab but wasn't comfortable with the weight and balance.The Minelab is an excellent bit of kit but I finally went with the V3i for its balance, screen info. and the fact that the European repair centre...

    V3i Advanced Posts "Book" - New - Version 2 - 65 pages

    This is a brilliant piece of work that must have taken a considerable amount of time and effort to assemble. Earthmansurfer has allowed the forum members to profit by his labours at no advantage to himself !! He must be a true gentleman with a generous nature, a rare thing in this materialistic...

    DFX vs V3i

    I moved from the DFX to the V3i and after getting settings to suit me have found it outshines the DFX in sensitivity and depth. Out last Sunday on farmland stubble and picked up 12 coins in one session.A record for me on farmland! (mostly copper and blank, but still coins!) Not getting rid of...

    Newbie Question

    While the XLT is a fine machine the DFX has more scope to optimise the best signal in difficult ground with the amount of adjustments availiable. The V3i has even more capability and is more sensative to small targets.These added capabilities come at a price though. The more complicated a...

    The problem with notching out pull tabs...

    Here in the U.K. if you notch out ring pulls you will miss the medieval silver coins we have here as they are so thin.This also goes for the best single freq. to use is which is 22.5 for the same reason.

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    No I think you`re right Pokershark looks like a job for Whites repair team. Have you tried wired headphones to see if it works with them?

    Are my wireless headphones broken?

    I had a problem a few weeks ago with my wireless headphones. Strange noises and then nothing. At the same time another V3i user about 20 meters away had the same problem. Changed the batteries, nothing. Then checked the machine to find the wireless head phones had switched them selves off in the...

    Whats wrong with this picture......;o)

    After sliding the lower stem up as far as it goes you have to fold the coil back like this to get the detector to fit the bag.As Larry says 180 degree rotation before engaging locking pins does the job .

    White's Spectra V3i programs for the UK

    Hi there. Ramases progs. and the prog from Dave the Ferret work very well here in the U.K. It is also worth looking at "Garys detecting" prog for the V3 on the internet. Don't get disheatened the V3i takes a bit of getting to grips with but once there!!! I detected a small pasture field (30x50...

    Henry 3rd cut half

    Cut half of Henry 3rd of England minted in Canterbury by Gilbert about 1260. As pennies were the only coins minted at this time they were cut in halves and quarters to get lower denominations. Recovered 4 inches down with a V3i in the Scottish borders.

    Help...V3i screen went blank (solved)

    Coming from swinging a DFX I found the V3i was a bit heavier on batteries so now after making sure the rechargeable is fully charged no matter what I make sure I always have the alkali pack and spare batteries for the headphones with me.This saves unwanted grief!!

    Help :)

    I don`t know if you are using the factory C&J prog. but if you are for some reason on this prog VCO is turned off. Go into expert menu, -pick audio, -pick pinpoint audio, put x in VCO box. This will give you VCO which gives an easier and more accurate pinpoint. The target should be just in front...

    New V3i

    Hi, just taken delivery of a V3i. Been swinging a DFX for 6 years but on reading the V3i manual I realize I`m on a big learning curve! If anyone has any tips on set up for the U.K. it would be much appreciated!

    DFX-V3i

    Many thanks all for your input. It all seems a little confusing at the moment but will probably become a lot clearer when I get the machine and read up on how to operate it. All else failing I will be back on the forum with what might seem to be silly questions. Please humour me and have pity on...
