    No more false signals

    I posted a while back about the possibility there could be something wrong with my machine. All kinds of folks tried to help and so did whites. I really tried everything. I took Whites up on there offer to replace the machine. Well the new one works great and even the problems with the head...

    Hunting wet ground

    It has been raining here off and on for days. I want to get out and hunt between the storms. Does the wet ground confuse the metal detector. If I use the prob feature will the gain no. be correct and do I have to do any thing different with the settings ? Someone told me VLF detectors do better...

    something may be wrong ?

    Sorry for one more post but I went to the beach last night and hunted with the factory salt setting. It was great and I loved it for about 1 1/2 hr. then on my walk back up the beach over the same area I just hunted I started to get false signals again more and more, then I stared to lower the...

    I'd Pay For a Hands-On Training Workshop

    I love this idea. I have posted asking for people to hunt with that own this machine, but no responce yet. There may not be enough people that own one of these Visions to respond yet. I would pay for hands on training.

    Thanks to all that gave me helpful hints! And most of all thanks to Whites. I got a call from Jimmy and from an engineer. I just got back from two locations and got the bugs worked out. Whites says yes this machine runs hot in the factory settings. So make (maybe a lot) of adjustments. To try...

    something may be wrong ?

    I just got back from another day of working out the problem with false signals. I'm still having a problem. I lowered the gain all the way to 4 and the disc. to 70. At first, like always, it was great but as time went on with my hunt the false signals got more and more till I could not hunt any...

    I want to try the dual headphone feature

    Does anyone live near Santa Cruz Ca. with a Vision and would let me walk with you using the dual headphone feature? I've been going through a very slow learning process with my machine and I think just being with a person who has this machine down and listening and asking questions would help in...

    You go down to the 70s on the sensitivity. I used the probe feature in live control to make sure I had the gain correct.Even with that I still lowered the gain.It sounds like the sensitivity is more important than the gain in stopping false signals. Is this true? I'm in Santa Cruz Ca. and the...

    something may be wrong ?

    OK, I went back to the beach and played with the settings over and over. The more I used the vision the worse it got. I had the gain and disc. turned way down and at first that helped but the more I hunted the more false signals that showed up. Just about drove me crazy. I know this has to be a...

    something may be wrong ?

    I went right out and lowered the gain from 8 to 5 no good then I lowered the sensitivity from 88 to 85 and that really helped. Thanks! I also got a message from White's with a cell phone no. and they said they would get someone to help me right away. What a great co. to respond that way and so...

    something may be wrong ?

    Got my new Vision and right out of the box I get VDI No's and likely target icons all over the place. Even if I point in in the air. I even put it on a table and stand back and watch the screen jump all over the place and I'm not passing anything over it. I tried a different loop that I also...

    Is a 4x6 DD going to help ?

    I read some one used the 4x6 DD coil that Whites sells on there Vision for trashy areas and it really helped. Then some one with a Vision told me because of the higher 3rd. frequency that this would not be a good choice yet. They said I should wait until Whites comes out with a smaller coil made...

    OK I did it ! New Spectra shipped today

    I might be 60 years old but I feel as excited as a 12 year old waiting for that new Red Rider BB gun. My new "Vision" is on it's way. I sure wish they could have kept the Vision name but I understand the reason for the Chang. I live in Santa Cruz Ca. area and plan on testing this machine on the...

    Beach & Nugget hunting

    Has any one nugget hunted with the E-Trac? I own a MXT & GMT and was thinking of selling both of them and buying the E-Trac. The prospecting frequency response is half way between the GMT & MXT. My thinking was it would do better than the MXT and a little less capable than the GMT. The only way...

    Etrac and finding gold

    How does the Etrac do for nugget hunting. Has anyone tried this with success? I own a MXT and GMT and was thinking to sell both and get the Etrac. It's prospecting frequency response is half way between these two machines. My guess would be a little better than the MXT and a little less than the...
