    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    I totally agree with your findings on deep targets. Anything over 7 inches, for me anyway, the numbers mean very little to me. If the target is deep and sounds good and repeatable in all directions, I dig. You never know what is down there. Not always valuable, but often interesting.

    cold out

    Way to go Steve, the next week looks promising for us...... at least better than 37 degrees.

    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    M6? If you have one, fine, but if you can spend a few more bucks for the MXT, I would go that route.

    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    Nancy uses Relic mode for everything and the audio is pretty simple. If you pass a bunch of targets over the coil, you will soon learn that good targets will give you a good clean sound and bad targets most likely are trashy sounding. There are exceptions to everything of course but knowing the...

    White's Spectra V3i cherry picking gold rings.

    I was a huge V3i user, fan and field tester for Whites but the best gold ring detector I am aware of is the MXT. The analog audio is exceptional with gold. My wife has called a gold ring in the ground many times when we were hunting together. She was the MXT moderator on here and she knows the...

    New to hobby

    This forum is full of them. Nancy and I started this forum back in 2011 when we were officers in the club. Back then P.A.T.H. was a huge club with $10,000 club hunts and so on. . Not only was Nancy president of the club for many years, she was the moderator of the MXT forum when Whites forums...

    Thanks for the Kudos Darrel, it's amazing what you learn with 40+ years detecting. o_O Speaking of old age, :rofl:Happy 50th wedding anniversary to you and Star.

    Experience is the best teacher and trust your machine. The audio on most brands tells a big story of what is in the ground, an art you will learn over time. A trashy audio often is trash in the ground. A good target often has a good clean audio and pay attention to your display for clues and you...

    Whites Eagle II SL 90 signal balance

    I loved my Eagle as well and had a hard time moving up to the DFX. Once I learned how to use the DFX (a year), it was a no brainer. Then along came the Vision that I was a field tester for and then the Spectra series. So much has changed over the years. My first MD was a Radio Shack, top of...

    Whites Eagle II SL 90 signal balance

    Signal Balance is just a fancy name for sensitivity, a manual adjustment in addition to the keypad sensitivity. Put it on P (preset} and you will be fine. The only time I remember using it was in a heavy iron area or under a power line. I didn't stay long in those situations anyway.

    Key But No Treasure Chest

    That is a dandy key for sure. It is hard to tell its size until you compare it to the glasses. Jail key maybe?

    Getting my groove back

    The last two hunts were short but productive.

    Great post hon but your camera makes my belly look big :rofl:

    Back from the dead (almost)

    Nancy and I got in a little detecting last weekend after taking a break for a few years. We can't hunt like we used to but it was nice to be able to do what we did. Heart surgery to correct 5 problems slowed me down quite a bit and just when I was feeling better, I slipped on ice and broke my...

    Lately

    Nice hunt Steve. Nancy and I got out for a bit a couple of days ago, first time in a couple of years for us. Nothing to brag about but we had a good time getting our swing arms back in shape. :cool:

    Whites V3i value

    Move up a few posts and click on Vito's finished deals. It doesn't get any better than what has sold for what.

    Part for V3i / XLT/ DFX ( Pictures)

    I have to agree with Carl. The broken piece is an alignment guide and the "key" on the guide is still there to ensure the plug and jack are in proper alignment. Try your coils on another machine and if they work OK, it is your detector.

    coinmaster 6/db help

    Practical to have, sure, just not very practical to metal detect with, I use mine to hunt in an "antique" category for club hunts. That's a lot of fun to me. After all, the machine is over 50 years old and for most coins, a couple of inches deep is about it. A far cry to the 8 to 10 inches...

    1.2V vs 1.5V batteries for a Whites MXT PRO

    FPV never interested me much and my new love is EDF for sure. Back in the olden days when I was a big Whites dealer, I moderated many, many of these forums on here and started or at least suggested many new forums, one of them is the Other Hobbies Forum which is probably where this airplane...

    1.2V vs 1.5V batteries for a Whites MXT PRO

    The bottom plane is my pride and joy, a stick build 1936 Cleveland Viking. What a sweetie. You got me on the drone piloting, I can't get past the basics with them, just don't have the motor skills I guess.
