    Vx3 usage while V3i is in for repairs

    Nice finds JV. That's a lot of nickels! I usually don't find such a high percentage of them.....maybe 7% to around 10% - 12% of my totals.

    Thanks Rob. That makes sense.

    6x10 Eclipse or SEF 6x8 coil for tot lots?

    Since the 6x8 isn't nulled for all three frequencies would it be as sensitive as the 6x10 to small gold, which might be found on tot lots? The 6x10 actually is only about 5 1/2" wide and the 6x8 is actually almost 6 5/8" wide. All other factors being equal, would this size difference account...

    2014 season is over

    Jim, sounds like you have a great attitude. I'm glad the surgeon was able to repair the damage in your shoulder. Do what the doctor says and heal quickly so you can get back out there. Keep us posted on your progress.

    New coil for my Spectra....

    The white 10x12 SEF is a good alternative to the D2.

    Found first 50 cent piece.

    Nice coin! And yes, they are hard to come by. The only one I have found was when I first bought my DFX several years ago.

    EclipseDD question

    To follow up, I contacted White's about the coil problem. Mary Hudson suggested that I send it in to Sweet Home for testing. I shipped it last Friday and much to my surprise today, Wednesday, I received a replacement coil. White's has to have the best customer service out there. Thanks to all...

    Any good the discrimination ability of V3I ?

    The screen is not a gimmick IMO. It can be customized to show the information you deem useful. Even if you hunt by sound, which can also be customized, the screen info can be used to verify what you are hearing. The display is large and, being variably backlit, can be easily seen at arms length.

    Any good the discrimination ability of V3I ?

    I dig a lot of can slaw, tabs, and foil. Most of the time I am probably 90% (just guessing here) sure it is junk because that is what my V3i is telling me. I usually dig it anyway and have been pleasantly surprised enough times to keep on digging some of those junk signals.....if I have the time...

    EclipseDD question

    Thanks Larry. I have had some goofy VDI readings a few times with this coil and had to change coils to continue hunting. The last two or three times out with the DD it has seemed to work just fine. But I have to wonder if the swelling, which appears to be permanent, has somehow caused the weird...

    EclipseDD question

    My EclipseDD is looking a little bloated. It reminds me of a fish laying on its side. My cover barely fits over the bottom. With the coil sitting on a flat surface, with the cover off, it rocks back and forth from front to back and side to side. All of my other coils are perfectly flat on the...

    I encourage posts :cheers:

    Hi Rob I've been lurking on the V forum since I bought my V3i a year ago. You, and the others who post here, have done such a good job of explaining the operation and use of of the V detectors that my questions are answered mostly by reading thru your "stickys" and the answers to the questions...

    Help With Mystery Metal?

    Got out yesterday for about 7 hours due to warmer than usual weather here in Eastern Missouri. Dug 174 coins (100 pennies, 34 nickels, 32 dimes, & 8 quarters), 113 assorted junk items (43 of which were can tabs), and a SS cross on a 24" broken chain. Wow, were my legs tired! My mystery is the...

    Mole Tunnels

    Has anyone besides me experienced false signals over mole tunnels. This weekend I was detecting a little used soccer field which was infested with moles. The little buggers had tunneled everywhere. Several times I got solid repeateable signals in the dime range at around 3" to 4" and digging...

    LCD Screen Protectors

    Has anyone out there used a screen protecting film on your detector LCD screen? Just curious if they work very well to keep the scratches to a minimum and if you can still see the screen ok.

    Platinum or Gamma?

    I am considering buying a BH Platinum or Gamma 6000 (or possibly an Omega 8000). After looking thru the manuals for the Platinum and the Teknetics Gamma 6000, which are similarly priced, they both seem to be very similar machines. However, I noticed that according to the manuals posted on the...

    Park hunt

    Had some time to kill last night and went to a local park after dark and started swinging near the outfield of a baseball field. The first good repeatable signal was bouncing between dime and quarter. Digging down about 5 inches I made a small hole and started pulling quarters out of the ground...
