    Any relic hunters yet and if so what kind of measured depth and iron separation?

    So far not seeing much on this subject. I have never used an etrac but did use and explorer xs for several years relic hunting and a bit for beach hunting. As good as the explorer was I am hoping this machine is deeper and better at pulling stuff from iron which it appears to shine at. I hear...

    Metal Detecting ST Thomas, anyone out there been there and done that?

    If so I would appreciate any help. I would like to take my wife there on Vacation and would like to know any good and/or bad experiences you have had. Did you find a good hotel, all inclusive or get your own meals, Where did you stay and what areas are good and bad for detecting? Any places...

    Tx Boost

    I have posted some shots of the civil war bullets I am pulling out of a place that was hunted back to the early 70's and I am averaging 12 bullets every 2 1/2 hrs still after 7-10 hunts there. It is mild ground and last Saturday got one at 14" and 15" with the leaves. What I am finding every...

    How much do the explorer used recharge battery and chargers sell for?

    I have one or two extra ones that I have been keeping charged but only use one and use the alkaline pack as a backup. Could anyone tell me what they usually bring and or if you are interested in purchasing at least one? Thanks Jerry

    You would think this is a political issue with so much negativity, LOL

    Come one guys, let's get some feedback first. Granted it will be a high end machine but any of us that love Minelab technology but dislike their packaging are very interested. I have been using explorers since they came out and loved that it is a great coin, relic and beach hunter just hated...

    Why mixed mode audio?

    I love mixed mode and use it exclusively for relic hunting. It would drive you crazy in a trashy area so it is great for open woods hunting for sure. Some of the bullets I have posted were measured down to 14" and they would only give an all metal signal until about 3-4" of dirt was taken off...

    V3i 10" DD Coil problem

    My detector seems to perform better overall with the 10"DD May just be my imagination, 12" is good but heavy for my bad shoulder, 950 has worked well in the past for me but I seem to find more tarkets relic hunting with the DD and I think it is because of ground coverage at depth? I find...

    :thumbup:Tell me about mixed mode please

    I like hearing the all metal channel in both ears anyway and just letting the disc. chime in which overrides or comes in at the same time. Some Nautilus guys liked stereo mixed mode but I never took to it or ever use stereo in my v3i. If that is the only feature missing the the Vx3 would do...

    Tx Boost

    I always use it as well because we have good ground. I have been doing great at one of my old time pounded relic sites. I know the boost has a lot to do with my success since I have taken two other detectors in there with that have low transmit power but are good machines and finds are...

    How do stratified soil layers affect ground balance?

    My reason for this is over the years you can get a signal and dig down lets say a foot. Here in Virginia even where the top layer is mild to moderate once you get down 8" or so you get red dirt or clay. After getting the target out or while waving the dirt over the coil to find the target you...

    V3i depth comparison showed how superior this machine is

    Took another detector to my bullet patch that I posted finds sometime back. Long story short in 3 trips with the V3i I found 16 bullets, 12 bullets and a NY coat button, and 11 bullets and a spencer case. All targets were in the 12" range plus covered with leaves and sticks. I hunt in hi pro so...

    What improvements????

    Not sure what model is was for or how old it is. Do the new ones not operate that way? Thanks

    What improvements????

    Maybe have it where you can charge it through the headphone jack or something like that. I keep my control box covered but like the recharge battery. I run boost so every hunt I have to take the coil wire off and remover the box cover to get the battery out. How nice it would be to just leave...

    What improvements????

    1) Better shielding on the coils like the old days or whatever it takes to eliminate EMI or whatever plagues most modern digital machines. This detector has the best depth potential of any modern VLF detector but in a lot of places you can't use this potential. 2) better salt water beach...

    V3 & Weight

    Honestly I used to use and explorer and that got to the point where 30 minutes into the hunt my shoulder was killing me and I was just enduring the rest of the time. So compared to that there is no comparison the V3 is way better and my last 3 hunts I have used it 2 1/2 hours each with no...

    Can we get a new thread started instead of the V3 on ebay one that is dominating?

    I would like to know more about your thoughts on EMI or whatever is causing interference in areas that were not bad with some detectors? I know someone said if you hold it to your waist and it is quiet then it is not EMI but what if you just start lowering the coil from there and you get...

    V3i update hunt photo: 3 hunts, different coils about 2.5 hours each

    Sorry it took me a while to post this photo of my last 3 hunts since getting my V3 updated. These were all found in an area we have hunted since 1974 with many different detectors. Almost all of the bullets were over 10" deep, some 12" in the ground with 2 or more inches of leaves and sticks on...
