    Last Hunt...Some Silver

    Thanks jim TN, I'll hit that site again the first chance that I get. Doctors have said that I have a 50% chance of being around for another 5 years. I guess I'll have to detect while I can. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    White's Spectra V3i is a 'Legend'

    TC-NM, I loved that Vision -until it started acting up. I had dug a cuff eagle A button at 10+ inches with the D2 coil at my relic site. White's couldn't fix it. They had it 3 times for the same problem. Fortunately, I still had my DFX so I wasn't detectorless while it was in the shop. Best of...

    VX3 screen shows cm instead of inches

    Frank1fm, I'm sure that it can be changed. My friend, Kenneth, used a Vx3 and although I programmed his detector for him, I don't remember where that particular adjustment was. My guess, though, would be under discrimination. Check your manual. Or press Menu and scroll down until you find it...

    want to change my vx3 to v3i

    Howdy frank1fm-- Welcome to the Forum! I don't think so. Someone asked that question a few years ago and as I recall only the Vision & V3 could be updated to the V3i. It was something to do with the hardware. Best of luck and ... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Last Hunt...Some Silver

    Howdy #1Leatherneck-- Thanks for your reply. Finding 6 silver coins in a hunt is not that big of a deal when hunting a virgin site. Although it is allways fun. Kenneth and I had a game that we played - a race to 10 silver coins. Sometimes it would take 3 or 4 hunts for one of us to hit the 10...

    Equinox and Legend Silver

    I've always loved the beauty and significance of LSQ design: the Type 1's without the chainmail :) and during WW1, the olive branch indicating that we wanted peace BUT the shield saying that we are ready for war and let's not forget the soring eagle on the reverse signifying freedom ! Great...

    White's Spectra V3i is a 'Legend'

    Howdy TC-NM-- I agree with you, The original Vision that I had had better depth than the V3i with the same coil and program. The problem that I had with the Vision was that after about a year or so of use, it started eating batteries. I could have a fully charged battery pack or brand new...

    Last Hunt...Some Silver

    Howdy--- I was on dialysis last night and I like to listen to Coast2Coastam when I'm tied to the machine. Wouldn't you know? The topic was "Unearthed Treasure." Well, after 40 years of metal detecting I could probably talk about my finds for hours hahah. As it turned out they took my call with...

    1st Silver For The Year

    My heart would be beating fast if I dug that 1901 Barber quarter. I'd be crossing my fingers looking for the S mintmark on the reverse! In that condition, it would be an easy $10,000. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Another 2 center and a SLQ

    You have a good site to hunt there thebig81. You might dig a gold coin there. The $1 gold coins hit in the foil range and $2.5 gold will come in in the pull tab range. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Equinox and Legend Silver

    Howdy UTMike-- Excellent finds! It's cause for celebration to dig a pre-1925 SLQ with a clear date. From 1916-1924 the dates were on a pedestal and received the brunt of the wear. In 1925 and onward the date was resessed. Is that a 1914-D Lincoln Cent near your Indian Head Cent? If so, it is at...

    White's Spectra V3i is a 'Legend'

    Howdy Leatherneck-- I am with you! I had the original Vision detector and then the V3i and I have NO regrets. I doubt that I will ever employ ALL of the features of this detector but I have read the manuel and regularly visited the old Findmall V3i Forum. Between that forum, the manuel and trial...

    Brief rant

    Howdy Odenscoils-- That torn down bar can be a lot of fun! I hunted a similar site a few years ago with the DFX and then the V3i. The main obstical was trash. There were 5 or 6 wine screw caps for every swing of the coil. Out of frustration, I had to increase my discrimination to reject...

    SPECTRA V3I

    Howdy Ronstar-- Congratulations on the 2 men's gold bands! It's always a pleasure to see that yellow at the bottom of the hole! On the V , most nickles VDI in the 18-22 range and pinpoint with 22.5 Khz dominant. No apology needed for your "accent"! My first detector was a Fisher and one of my...

    SPECTRA V3I

    Howdy Odenscoils-- That makes perfect sense! I believe that your using single frequency 12 Khz gets the best of both worlds - you will hit hard on gold jewelry AND coins & relics. For the purpose of my gold coin, Frequency, VDI post, I focused on the dominant frequency for specific targets. Many...
