WHITES V3i HELP

[daverave]

does anyone have a good beach program that will give excellent depth on dry and wet sand

Not from me

"What ever program you use, set ground balance to Autotrack but still rebalance every 15min or so. Most of the time you won't need to but sometimes it helps especially when changing over from dry sand to wet etc. You can only use 3 frequency with Salt Compensate selected (a must for wet sand), but if hitting the dry sand you can switch Salt Com off and use a single frequency to get even more depth."

thanks for the info...only got the detector about a week ago and lots of different settings to adjust to get good depth...the all metal pinpoint in rachet i found a little noisey so selected the vco and its a lot better.

It takes a lot to master, the whites forum has gone now lots of info was there , I will see what program info I have, just got to find the right folder on old back up drive

[daverave]

when i first went onto the beach the v3i drove me crazy cause i had not selected salt beach..im digging lots more silver paper with this detector...if you can find any good beach programs would be much appreciated.

Been looking for program info, it maybe on old pc, not on my back up drives, I will have to find an old key board ,mouse and monitor to fire up old pc

V3 Magic Program

03-28-2020, 04:22 PM


This is one version of the Magic Program and the first custom program I have ever tried. Full Credit goes to Magic...it is his work from many moons ago.

V3i_ Magics Pro

Let me start by saying that this program is not for everyone. It will find the deepest targets and also is very informative as to what is in the ground around everything.

Rx gain 10 to start and adjust from there
Tx boost off
Disc. 88-93
All metal 70

DISCRIMINATION
Bottle cap reject off
Hot rock off
Reject -95 to -89
Accept -88 to +94
Reject +95
(if your ground phases into the -80s you will want to reject down into the -80 range.)

TONES
I set these tones to my liking and you may want to put in your own. I use higher tones for good targets that I look for. (Example...51 to 54 is Indian penny range so it gets a higher tone) I use the 5 tone on the iron range to tell where the iron is and it sounds like a ticking sound. Some people like this while others don't. I like to know whats in the ground. The more info the better for me!)

-95 to -6 =5
-5 to -1= 50
0 to +9= 150
+10 to +12 =165
+13 to +17 =175
+18 to +22 =225
+23 to +29 =175
+30 to +39 =190
+40 to +49= 200
+50= 210
+51 to +54 =225
+55 to +59 =210
+60 to +67= 220
+68 to +89 =250
+90 to +94 =255

I use three frequency in Best data
I use lock trac with a offset of +1 and ground balance every 20 minutes or so
(Watch the arrows while ground balancing and wait until they start to switch back and forth left to right before releasing.)

5 band filter. (Adjust for your ground)
Recovery speed. 50 to 100 range
( I usually hunt at 65 until I know the area, If its trashy I go to 50, if moderate I hunt at 60 to 75, and for no trash and deep I go to 80 to 100. On some rare occasions I have hunt at 120 with good results in a almost no target type field.)

I use intensity base threshold of 70
Fade rate at 4
(These are just personal preference and do not effect depth)

If you have any question about this program, please feel free to send me a PM.
This program is what I use 90% of the time and I have hit coins in the 12-14 inch range in my ground.

Note.. If hitting on a really deep target, it may be necessary to turn up your all metal to 80 to 90 in order to pinpoint on the target.

Other points of interest....
When I get that good quick hit like silver and its deep, if you move to a 45 degree angle and go around the object and you get alot of ticking noise (iron range) it is a nail almost every time. Unless its a good target in with a nail..
That is up to you to decide.

The old whites forum is back up, click on register and go to v3i programs, all the threads have been closed just grab what you can while its still there, look at ROADMAP posts in VMACHINES
lots of how to info there, copy it for later, also grab the PDF's from Advanced User's Guide Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4

thanks so much for your help which i have written down...im not sure how to set the tones for different targets which will be very useful...also cause whites is closing down how will i get parts in the future if say i need a new keypad or display/backlight all which i know can fail over time.

[daverave]

i went to the whites forum and it looks like its closed down...shame whites is gone as it was one of the best detector companies.

[6666]

The Whites forum is still there click on register and go through the registration process then go to v3i programs,
with the programming Fox's programs work ok, just start at the top and work down through settings
where we get parts in the future no body knows right now, if ever
