    More results relic hunting with V3i and different coils, photos coming shortly

    I will need to get out more with the 12" to give a definite answer. It is hard to say because many bullets were flattened and on edge so those I don't think I would get any noticeable advantage. Also, I was getting some kind of interference that I have not been able to put my finger on yet...

    More results relic hunting with V3i and different coils, photos coming shortly

    Here are the results of my second and third times out with my V3 since it was updated to the V3i. I would like to mention I could have found many more targets in the allotted time but I have been using different coils, changing settings, shifting to different frequencies, etc which take a lot...

    :twodetecting:emi

    In one of my spots I get a fair amount of static in 3 frequency, the low frequency and high but the middle one is nice and stable. There may be some things you can do with the offset as well but I have not found that to be very helpful in this area. I run boost on and high gains and...

    First time out with V3i update 16 bullets 2.5 hrs

    This is one of those places that was hunted hard years ago when they machines were not really deep. Then in the mid 80's when the DMC nautilus, teknetics mark one, and White's eagles came out and it was hunted hard again. Actually, I am amazed of how many targets I am getting even though the V3...

    First time out with V3i update 16 bullets 2.5 hrs

    Finally got around to taking a photo of my first finds after getting my V3 updated. The detector performed great, got to get back into really learning this detector since it has almost unlimited potential. I have been detecting since 1973 on and off and used almost every brand and model and I...

    Hope to get out with the updated V3i tomorrow and dig some deep relics, stay tuned

    That's why I like having mixed mode for relic hunting since I had years with the DMC Nautilus which has the all metal channel working at the same time as the disc. channel. I also used to use an xlt in mixed mode as well to achieve the same results or similar I should say. On my V3i If a...

    Hope to get out with the updated V3i tomorrow and dig some deep relics, stay tuned

    I did not do the ground probe but it is very mild with some EMI. I went out and got 16 bullets in 2 1/2 hours which is the best I have done in quite some time. As I had mentioned some like the past were flattened ones that were turned on edge about 8-10" or even pointed straight up or down. I...

    Hope to get out with the updated V3i tomorrow and dig some deep relics, stay tuned

    Got my machine updated and plan to go out to my trusty old testing grounds for deep civil war bullets. Got a new phone as well so I hope I can figure out how to run the video while I am getting some deep targets. I find it strange that people feel the V3 won't go that deep. Every time I went to...

    White's again: Fantastic Customer Service on my V3 now i

    Triplehooked, the first time out with the Vision I was digging12-14" bullets in Petersburg at sites that have been pounded with every machine and some of the most hard core relic hunters on the planet over the years. I gravitated to the high pro mode and that is all I have ever used. I am...

    White's again: Fantastic Customer Service on my V3 now i

    I had been out of detecting for a while and needed to get my V3 upgraded. Sent it in with my 5 loops and wireless phones. They checked out all loops and two of them failed so there were replaced (no charge under warranty) They updated to V3i, either a new pod or screen, put new ear cushions on...

    Looking for deep civil war bullets with v3i

    When I got my first Vision I gravitated to the Hi pro program since I like hearing the deep readings then having the ability to discriminate as well. I live in Virginia and our soil is for the most part really good so in areas that have low minerals it is no problem to get 12" easy on a Minnie...

    spectra v3i vs minelab

    For years I used an explorer xs, have used the Explorer 2 some, the SE a little and besides startup speed saw little to no difference. I loved the Minelabs for salt beaches but compared to the V3 that is the only are I preferred it. The V3 is much more sensitive to smaller items and lower...

    12 inch coil

    Sorry for the confusion but I had great success with the vision on land hunting relics but terrible on the beach. Whites replaced it with a V3 and that is what I have been using, Thanks

    12 inch coil

    BHID does not have the hi transmit power of the V3, not sure about the frequency(s) on the BHID but I am told the higher one on the V3 does not like the salt. My 12" I tried when I got it on the beach and put it back in the bag. I tried it relic hunting the other day and it overloaded so it...

    Strange thing happening with my V3 that I don't remember before

    Neil, thanks for the reply, I store it in the garage but it is insulated and sheetrocked and have been keeping my detectors there for 20 years with no problems. I will check again but I was using the non recharge pack with a freshly set of charged NMh batteries and think the voltage was around...

    Strange thing happening with my V3 that I don't remember before

    Finally got to fire up my detector after almost a year. When the back light is set really low the screen just flashes on and off. If you bump it up to 4 I think it will quit. do they all do that and/or am I just not remembering? When I got this machine I took it to pounded sites and pulled 14"...

    My first three center

    nice find, only found one in all my years of detecting but was not really a coin hunter. I found mine in a Union Civil War Camp

    Need program help for hunting iron infested sites

    I have been having great success with the V3 when I can get out relic hunting and finding stuff in all my old pounded sites at like 14" Minnie's, etc. I use only high pro mode but now I need to find a way to set this machine up to work in heavy iron sites like civil war camps but mainly old...

    Depth of V3I and finding gold / silver

    DFX had its place but for me I have always used raw depth machines like DMC 2-B nautilus, White's 5900, White's Specturm, eagles etc. DFX worked well on salt beaches but was never created for monster depth. I have been relic hunting since 1973 and used every machine. V3 in boost in good soil...
