I received my V3 a few days ago and I've been running the 10" coil that it came with. Today I tried my Super 12 that I had for the DFX. The 12 is a new one with a 'V' in the serial number - it is a warranty replacement coil that I received in March. When I turned on Tx boost, it overloaded immediately and I had to turn Rx gain down to 6 just to ground balance. I ended up using 5 or 6 and it was still a bit noisy so I put the 10" DD coil back on. I was using a Rx gain of 11 in the same area with the 10"DD. The soil in the area has moderate mineralization although I had overload with the Super 12 as soon as Tx boost was switched on.
Has anyone else been using the Super 12 coil with the V3? My Super 12 is great on the DFX. Is the Rx gain limited that much with the Super 12/V3 combination? I plan on using it in another park on the weekend. The soil will be less mineralized but there is no 'low mineralization' in my area.
The park has some nice old silver but it will be deep because the park has been heavily pounded for years. I want max depth for this hunt.
