    Fleagle

    ...since I have been out detecting! Finally got out to a new field this morning. A few nice finds, but the best is undoubtedly the Flying Eagle!

    T-2 Resets or Turns Off

    I finally had a chance to use my T2 today only to have a problem. It seems like the unit keeps turning off, or resetting to the default (turning off and on again.) when bumping off anything. There is obviously a bad power connection. I tried a fresh set of alkelines just to make sure it was...

    Rose Gold Anyone?

    I found this chart online that explains the colors of gold: I found this beauty last year after a coastal storm,,, Marked with the soviet hammer and sickle and "585" (14K) this one was true Russian gold!

    halo effect

    A quarter will show a dominant frequency of 2.5 KHz but iron will usually show 22.5 KHz as the dominant frequency. Iron is also hard to pinpoint...it seems to move around, while good targets will be consistent. Keep in mind that on deep targets (more than 7 or 8 inches) all bets are off...

    VX3 users which coil do you like better 9.5" or 10" D2 ?

    Because the pattern, or signature of the signal transmitted and received by a concentric coil is conical, you have a greater chance of missing a coin sized target that is not directly under the coil. The blade-like signal pattern on the D2 makes it "hot" from tip to tip, front to back so you...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    I just think this forum is a great resource for newbies and more experienced users alike, and staying on topic helps keep it organized! I don't get out much this time of year, but did for a bit last weekend, using mainly the ML. Honestly, the performance is on par with the Garrett. I found...

    Keeping threads on topic.

    I find it a bit annoying when a thread gets off topic. I call it hijacking a post. For example my recent post regarding pinpointer compatibility should not be going on and on about which color coil is better, white or black. Can we keep posts on topic? I think it is a bit more helpful for...

    Considering purchasing a Vx3

    I am not sure what you are asking, but if you are asking if $800 is a fair price for a used Vx3 I would say yes, if it is in good condition. The fact that you are asking tells me that you have not read up much on detectors in that price range. That would be my recommendation before deciding if...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    I stand corrected! Maybe it was the variable Pulse Rate for target proximity that I read which had me confused.

    Sticking in Pinpoint Mode...

    My last few times out my V3i has been occasionally staying in pinpoint mode even after the trigger is released. Last time it happened it was only a matter of time before the trigger broke, but I am not too sure it is hardware related. I am not sure a new trigger will fix the problem but was...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    There is a big difference in the technology. The Garrett Propointer is a PI (Pulse Induction) detector, while the Minelab Pro-Find is VLF (Very Low Frequency). For this reason the Garrett will detect mineralization and will sound off when a bit of pressure is applied. I did not notice any...

    Pinpointer Compatibility

    Last week I got the new Minelab Pro-Find pinpointer. At first I was not impressed; it did not seem as solidly built as the Garrett ProPointer and the vibrate did not seem as strong. It does have a few nice features, such as Auto Off with an alert beep to help you find it if you leave it...

    Things I like about the V3i

    I thought it might be a good thread to ask what you think makes the V3i special. Add your own thoughts about what you like about it. I will start off with today's find and what I like about the "V": One great thing about the V3i is the ability to analyze targets...This beautiful, late...
