    Non V Rated on VX3

    Hey guys, I figured out I could lower the RX Gain to 4 or less and it doesn't chirp or false. Anything above 4 and it chirps and gets worse until it overloads at 11 and above. I am just gonna sell it and buy a V rated one.

    Non V Rated on VX3

    I just picked up a non V rated shooter DD for my VX3. The will work but not how I expected. I understood that it probably wouldn't work with the high freq but thought it would work great with the 2.5 and 7 kHz single frequency. What I've ran into is that it does false quite a bit. Lowering the...

    V3i as a relic hunter

    Your bullets look to be standard .58 cal three ringers and your big one is a .69 cal. I get that from the size comparison between the bullets and eagle button and LC. Your cleaner bullet I can't tell. They were called Williams Cleaner bullets, of which there are 3 types. They are determined by...

    Excal Setup...reading the signs

    Okay let's see if I have this right. The Excalibur will tell you when the settings aren't matching the conditions? Say I'm in an area with clean ground and no targets under the coil...if the threshold nulls continuously while sweeping the coil it means something is set wrong. Is that correct so...

    Excal Nulling

    Alright guys, my Excalibur is here and I have my first question. Is it okay if the threshold nulls when the coil is lowered to the ground? There are no targets in the ground it's just the ground itself. I have a minie ball buried at 7" that it wont detect except for in pinpoint mode. Otherwise...

    Ex II what do I need to know?

    I'm pretty sure I am going to be getting an Excalibur 2. I am just wondering what all do I need to know before getting one? After market rods? Best coil for trashy freshwater beaches? How steep of a learning curve? Give me the down low please!!

    Thought my machine died...

    I'm still not exactly sure what happened. Was hunting yesterday in the river and a storm was coming. All the swimmers were packing it up and leaving and I was out there as long as it wasn't lightning too bad. Well the storm just nicked us and it rained for about 5 mins and quit and the sun...

    Ring #2 & #3

    Well that didn't take very long. Its a junk ring but a ring none the less. Haven't been back to the lake; am awaiting on my new water shoes to get here. My sandals were killing me. At any rate I also sent off for a TVA metal detecting permit so I can start hunting the TVA beaches around here...

    Machine Suggestion :)

    I know you guys are pretty serious about your beach hunting and thus why I'm asking this here. I think most of you are saltwater people but feel free to chime in anyway. As stated once before, I'm only hunting freshwater but the beaches are heavily mineralized with natural iron oxide. The...

    Good books for finding jewelry?

    Hey guys. I've seen a bunch of books so far on helpful guides and hints for finding jewelry/beach hunting. I was wondering if you guys had a common favorite(s) that I could look into getting a copy of for myself. I'll only be freshwater beach hunting but I'm sure the same principles will...

    :detecting:I used a VX3 last evening and it was great

    And that MXT might get kicked to the curb. Try the MXT 300s coil on the VX3....that 950 stock coil is not the best for the red dirt. I played with a VX3 myself and I thought high of it as well.

    About 30 hrs on the A/T Pro

    I am not a coin hunter by default....I'm a relic hunter. This beach/water hunting stuff has me way out of my element. I've had to trade in the camo BDUs for shorts and my shovel for a scoop. My boots went bye bye for a pair of water shoes and I've went from insect repellent to sun screen...

    U/W headphone volume?

    How are you guys contending with the loud volume of the underwater headphones on the A/T pro? I got a set yesterday and I cant even put them over my ears cause the sound hurts me its so loud! I am gonna have to wear them around my neck lol

    Relics and Water

    Well not in that order nor at the same time. Took the AT to a swimming hole Friday when I got off work. I don't have the underwater headphones so I didn't dunk the AT Pro but I have a question about that. The manual says you need the underwater headphones if you submerge the headset...

    AT Pro maiden voyage

    Hey folks, got an AT Pro for myself last Saturday and just got around to playing with it some this week. I honestly had looked over this machine a few weeks ago and selected a Fisher Gold Bug over it. When I had tested the AT Pro out, I didn't know anything about it and I had it in STD coin...

    mineralization around the U.S

    As you know, the red dirt areas are pretty tough for any VLF detector to handle. As previously stated, I've hunted in the GA red clay as far south as Marietta, GA. I've hunted as far north in the red iron dirt of Culpeper County, VA. And I live here in TN where we have a mixture of the GA red...

    mineralization around the U.S

    Have hunted the V3 in TN red dirt, GA red clay, and Culpeper, VA red iron dirt. 7.5 SINGLE freq works best, put it in All Metal because things will read as iron, and put your recovery rate on 40 will write more later I am on the cell internet.

    Gold Bug video today

    I will say again, I DIDN'T do this video as a head to head against the GPX!! I marked some signals with the GPX that I knew would be bullets by their sound and then fired the Gold Bug up on them, here is just one of the bullets and the signal response, in both all metal and disc mode. The...

    Jumped on the Gold Bug wagon

    I traded some of my relics off Friday and was looking at getting an A/T Pro detector (can I say that here?). Well after seeing the A/T in action in a demo at the store, I wasn't that impressed to be honest with you. Yeah it has some nice features but the build quality wasn't what I expect a...
