We have these flea markets in Texas, one I've been eyeballin' close by...it is a group of storage units where tenants drag out their wares a couple of times a month or more. I see all of those cars parked 3-deep time and time again, the ground is mostly unpaved. How would I find the owner of the...

I have tried every V3i custom program listed on two boards, Fox's, Magics, Jacks, yada yada yada...and none test near as good on my small test garden. Last one I tried today was Magics(again) and like the others I have tried, I get a signal on a buried nickel, in only one direction, and there is...

OK, I've not put the digger to the ground since the nickel target is one I self buried last year, roughly at 9-10 Well, this should be good news to everyone here who has had to listen to me belly-ache about this issue. I'd mirrored all of the audio and threshold settings for most all programs...

...that I've recently began posting a little again on that other site where many of us whites people came from. Where did all of the original zeal go from this site? It can't purely be the off season of THing due to winter, cuz the other site is running rampant with posts, plus I have had made...

I see a lot of people's finds exhibit coins and jewelry that are in pristine condition, obviously not a dug item. These same people seem to find lots more stuff than the general crowd, me for one without doubt...I've almost never found surface treasure, always had to dig. What if the only...

I'm one who likes the analyze screen on the V3i, but I have one issue. It always forces me to trigger forward at least twice before it shows meaningful data. Is this fixable? martin To add, I am using C&J stock program, but I don't get any better results with the customs programs either.

I've known for a while that many veteran THs have bundled up and sold their V3i machines. Call me a skeptic maybe, but I always go into protective mode, i.e. Is the V3i a sick technology? Many mods from another site sold theirs late last year, and I see a mod here selling his. Surely the economy...

I'm posting this here in the general discussions, so it that's wrong, please move it. When it comes to watching posted MDing videos of people's finds, I really get little enthusiasm out of someone showing a hole with a target apparently inside. I do however, look and enjoy all of the vids with a...

This spot out in my back yard that I'm working these days is so target rich, I have to think this is maybe a trash spot on purpose. I went out for about 15 minutes and found a very large button with the pin still on the back, various parts of more toy cars(I found more than 10 yesterday), and...

I went out back of the house where my cyclone wire fence is, put the V3i into action where I'd previously found coins, and a toy car or two, and I found another 11 more toy vehicles, all in the areas of maybe 3-4sq feet. It was one right after the other, took all of about 40 minutes before I...

Looking at the manuals for both the V3 and V3i, I see: V3: Disc 88 AM 55 V3i: Disc 88 AM 70 Mine, after reloading the prog from the Library list on the V3i shows: Disc 75 AM 55 Which are the true factory numbers? Martin

I think I lost the coin and jewelry setting in the Library file somewhere over time. Is that possible? If it is, then those files should be read-only, cuz with all of the various menus in the Expert Programs for newbies to play with, it is inevitable IMO that this will happen in the learning...

I decided to play with my 5900 Di Pro today while the V3i's battery charges, and I quickly found that for a buried target, even at less than 4, needed a weed whacker speed to get a reading. The 5900, while using the 950 coil, worked well with a surface coin at a reasonable slow speed, yet the...

OK I searched out a signal in my famous circle drive(I've only worked it about 100 hours of more since last May) where I found nothing beyond 6 with the V3i, yet I do had a buried quarter at 9. Well the V3i using Jacks correlate program didn't see the quarter, so I moved to another spot, hit a...

Just what justifies someone confiscating your detector, and do you ever get it back? Anyone here actually had one confiscated? martin

Wild thought, but does the hard freeze and ice and snow we've endured for a week nearly, make for finding buried targets where there didn't seem to be any prior? Texas isn't prone to all this saturated frozen stuff, and it makes me wonder if the thaw might turn some coins around during the thaw...

I had a kinda strange penny find today. I had dug a sizeable hole in my yard with a shovel searching a signal that kept saying 5.5 after I'd dug down about 10. I had quite the crater dug, and then quit and filled it back in figuring there was something big down deep. That was a few days before...

South Padre Island is off limits to detecting, and has been for years. Can you possibly imagine all off the treasure surely, all the expensive jewelry over all these years of drunken rich kids, and the old rich also, losing stuff for years! martin

I found that the whole asphalt is currently chewed up and the foundation is showing. Is that an opportunity I should try to jump on, or is it unlikely that I'll do more than get in someone's way? I probably don't have tons of time, but the road bed here on my country lane is presently naked...

Seems like I've only read about the Pro Pointer just quitting, not getting less performance. Assuming your battery is fine, has anyone noticed their Pro Pointer gradually seeing less than what it used to when air testing coins? The air characteristics hasn't changed, and mine now wants to stop...
