    SPECTRA V3I

    Howdy Intella 100--- Welcome to the Findmall Forums! Your question was a common one for new V3i users. Here are some test results that may shed some light on your inquiry. Also, I provided a link to an old thread that I posted that you may want to read. $1 Gold (Types 1,2 & 3)...

    Need some feed back on whites v31 and v3 vs. other detectors

    While I've never used a Minelab or a Deus, I have used several White's detectors and specifically the V3i. Yes, on the V3i, there are a lot of adjustments and "bells & whistles" that CAN be tinkered with. But for actual performance, there are only a handful that actually affect the performance...

    #1Leatherneck, It sounds like you and Kenneth traveled similar paths and have similar philosophies on life. In the words of F. Nietzsche "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." And yes, we have PLENTY of pump jacks in this area and hopefully we will have plenty more soon! Be well! I was...

    DFX-Gregg, thank you for your response. Yes. Kenneth was a great guy. One can go thru life and be thankful if they have 2 or 3 true friends. Kenneth was a true friend. He is missed. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    First detector? In 1963 or 1964, I saved my paper route $ and purchased a 2 box Fisher M Scope Explorer - I wanted TREASURE not single coins haha. For coin and relic hunting in 1985 I purchased a Fisher 1260-X. Since then I've had : White's Eagle 2, White's Eagle 2 SL89, White's XLT, White's...

    Last two weeks silver and a bucket lister yesterday 22 silvers with the nox!

    Again, Mark, those are some great finds. Keep those good finds coming! I'm slowing down on my detecting - I'm on peritoneal dialysis and my long time detecting buddy, Kenneth, passed away recently. I did post a tribute to him on the Christian Detecting Forum , if you would like to read it...

    Last two weeks silver and a bucket lister yesterday 22 silvers with the nox!

    Excellent finds Mark! On your shield nickel, I think that it is either an 1882 or 1883. The first year of mintage of that series was 1866. Congratulations on those finds! Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Laplander, Kenneth was something else! He detected until a week before his passing. On our last hunt together , he fell and fortunately a passer by stopped to help me get him up . After my recent surgery, I didn't have the strength to get him up by myself. He detected for another hour after his...

    Cut silver

    That's great, 7centsworth, that you were able to help locate the unmarked graves! Your finds are just a bonus for your good deed. A few years ago, Kenneth and I traveled to a community in central Texas to locate grave sites in a church cemetary where some of the gravestones were washed away...

    What's a fair asking price for dug silver coins?

    Big Tony-- That's great that you are able to help your detecting clubs like that. It all depends on the dealer. Recently, with a similar silver spot price, a friend of mine asked me to sell $400 face value in Silver Washington's for her. I checked with one dealer who offered me 10 times FV which...

    What's a fair asking price for dug silver coins?

    Howdy Big Tony-- You mean SPOT PRICE, don't you? I gave Dan(NM ) a realistic price that he can expect to get from a dealer for dug 90% silver. Depending on the dealer, they may offer less than the $ amount that I mentioned. Today, I wouldn't sell $1 face value for less than $16.23 and that is a...

    Howdy Odanscoils-- Yes, Kenneth is pain-free and at peace with the Lord. That coil that he was using was the White's 4x6 shooter coil. It's an excellent coil for trashy sites. Best of luck and ... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Howdy Carl-NC-- That Fireball detector that you have is no doubt a classic. For a number of years, Kenneth supplied KellyCo with White's products. Thanks for your reply. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    What's a fair asking price for dug silver coins?

    Howdy Dan(NM)-- I am assuming that the silver coins that you are referring to have no numismatic value. If that is the case here is a good guide for selling: http://coinapps.com/silver/coin/calculator/ Today, $1 face value in 90% silver goes for $17.23. I wouldn't sell it for less than $16.23. I...

    u2robert, yes he was a dedicated detectorist! He had his hip replaced about 10 years ago and doctors told him that he would have to give up metal detecting. I had found a crutch about 20 years ago and saved it ( you never know...). That crutch not only helped him to walk but it also served as...

    Thank you 7centsworth. Yes, Kenneth was a good man. He would purchase Bibles by the case and whenever someone would approach us, he would offer them a Bible. He never turned his back on someone in need. He lived his faith. Best of luck and ... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel
