Simple things with the VX?

I am an old Whites guy who strayed away five or six years ago to a machine with a crisp, beep, audio signal. I ran into a great deal on a VX and had to try one. I think, I just haven't hit any great areas yet but I know I am struggling with the audio. I have checked some of the signals with other detectors and the Whites has been right most of the time. I love seeing the posts and hearing the stories of the success stories you guys are writing. These simple things help me work a little harder at bonding with this new machine. Thanks for sharing.

I would just use coin and jewelry mode and keep the gains a bit lower until I was comfortable with the different tones.
 
If you do use C&J, I would turn on the VCO function.......... it is already on in Hi Pro.
 
Thanks, for the suggestions. What does turning on tone ID and modulation do to coin and jewelry or deep silver? Would this help me or hurt me get a more familiar tone?

Turning on tone ID gives you a tone as opposed to just a modulated sound that is the same on all targets. I only hunt in tone as it also has a quite informative sound. You can give each VDI a tone, you can give blocks of VDI's a tone. It is very flexible. Just do a search on the details. I think almost all the stock programs use tone.

I always have my modulation on and at 2. 2 seems to quiet down the iron but doesn't soften coin hits. When you go to three you'll notice a slight softening on deeper coin hits. Modulation won't affect the tone you get.

I recommend you bury a coin 6" in the ground and just start playing with the basic controls (e.g. - find a recovery delay that works well for you), don't program the machine too much yet but then again you have the VX3 which is has less controls, so maybe I spoke to soon. Still a good idea to stick with the factor programs and learn how to move around the menu. Just playing with the machine on a buried target is going to be the best way to learn the machine and do a search on some older posts as almost everything has been asked before, so there is a lot of info here.

Good luck,

On the tone ID I run with it on in all program the one thing I did in the beginning was I took a penny nickel dime and quarter and would run those coin over the coil and that will help you learn the tones . A good place to go and learn the tones is school there is always a lot of clad there. :twodetecting::whites::cheers:
 
I've found turning the gain down helps settle the machine down allowing for clearer sounds. What you don't want to do is hit a trashy site with the gain turned up, it can be overwhelming, it's a very powerful machine.
