    This rattle could possible be a nut from the loop connector that has come loose and fallen off. if it is inside the metal box you should be able to take the battery and jiggle the box and see what...

  4. Re: Purposely GB The V3i Over Non Clean Ground, Balance Still Good!

    Ground balancing over a target will pull the ground balance point if the target strength and phase reading from target combined with the phase and target strength from the ground signal still falls...
  5. Re: Purposely GB The V3i Over Non Clean Ground, Balance Still Good!

    To tell if the instrument is properly ground balance can be accomplished by raising the loop to waist level and then pulling the trigger to put the instrument into the pinpoint mode. Then lower the...
  6. Sticky: Re: HUNTING IN MINERALIZED GROUND WITH THE V3i by Bob Canaday (rcsnake)

    I am not Jack but might be able to answer your question. Raising or lowering the Disc sensitivity will not change what a target will VDI at. What this will do when hunting in the all metal mode the...

    Re: Polar Plot vs Signograph

    The polar plot is very useful for bottle-caps that are shallow (5 to 6 inches up depending on the ground. The vectors that are being shown are not the normalized vectors. Another way to think about...
  8. Re: Different Swing Speed Whites 5900 Vs V3i Question

    The swing speed of the coil is not so much a function of the frequency of the machine, but more of the filter design used in the instrument for signal processing. With the older instruments it was...
  9. Re: Determining ground mineralization with the V3i

    The setting for the Rx is determined by the type of ground it is by and how much trash and iron is in the ground and how strong the ground is. The Rx gain being to high can create problems with nails...
  10. Re: Determining ground mineralization with the V3i

    By highlighting the Ground Tracking box on the Live Control Bar and then pressing the zoom key to bring up the ground probe screen. Raise the coil in the air (but must be free of EMI) Highlight zero...

    Re: Best Data or Correlate

    When using a single frequency on the machine best data and correlate is not a option as these two feature are only available when using the 3 frequencies modes. As the only response the machine will...

    Re: Thoughts On Ground Tracking

    Personally I don't use the ground tracking on the V3 or V3i. I just reground balance when needed and this is very site dependent esp with the places I as some of them have fill dirt in them. I don't...

    Re: Trend Developing With The V3

    This would be for all targets irregardless of being a higher conductive target or lower conductor. If the new target/signal goes above the signal threshold of the older target/signal, then the new...

    Re: Magics Pro (V3)

    On the subject of correlate vs. best data the depth should be the same.

    However, today it seemed that the correlate sounded better on targets as opposed to the best data unless the VDI was jumping...

    Re: Magics Pro (V3)

    Hi Magic

    That program looks pretty good and have a few question for ya if you don't mind.

    1. Have you tried to accept +95 and set it to a low or different tone?

    2. Have you tried this...

    Re: V3 prehunt field set-up?

    Back to the thread what I usually do is start on with my basic program that I use and adjust offset for emi if required and then lower the Rx gain if further adjustment is...

    Pulling the battery out while the detector is on will do the obvious and turn the detector off. However, changes made to a program that has not been saved through the expert menu or by turning the...

    Re: White's Spectra V3 Vision

    If the emi (external noise) is not to bad using the 5Hz bandpass filter will help out on cutting down on some of the noise as this has worked for me in a few places. The High pass filters will allow...

    Loops can be different just by how tight the windings of each individual coil are and the shape of the coil (cross section view) from the winding of the coil.

    Then the construction of the loop has...

    Hello from Oregon

    Thought I would join this forum, since I just learned of the forum. Been metal detecting for almost 25 years and yes as some of you know I do work at Whites. Hopefully you won't hold that against me...
