Show her YouTube videos of all the different girls detecting

 

x2

Yes. There are a lot of videos about girls/women doing detecting. Hopefully that works out for you.🤞

Congratulations. Looks like a great start at all.

Welcome aboard, Muppet. Glad you found the site and joined. All the best and stay safe.

Patience is the key, Bigpicture. 19", wow, you're using a bungee-system hopefully. That may expand detecting time.

Good luck with the 7000 and may your dreams become true. All the Best to ya, too.🤞👍

Welcome to the forums. 😊 BTW, my greatest treasure is my wife.❤😍💕

Nice collection! You must have a very understanding wife..👍

x2 - That was exactly what I had in mind, too, Joe.😊

Thanks for sharing the images, George. 👀Wow, that IS a nice collection.

Yup, great idea & job Simon.

Anybody tested Detech Arrow coil? For Whites? 

Hello Shelton. Yup, it was done.

So far for the size of the coil depth seems to be good enough to me as it detected all of my three targets. (Works on MXT, DFX, VX3.)

Some more hunts will be done if the weather will warm up...

There should be no diode. Some coils may have a thermistor but that's not the problem. The 4x6 is a DD coil that is completely encased in epoxy. DD coils are incredibly sensitive to coil movement (concentrics are not) and any movement of the epoxy will knock the coil out of null and cause overload. White's had fits with those coils in production, after the epoxy was poured it was baked in an oven for 2-3 days, then sat for a few weeks to fully cure. Then the final tweak null was applied and the coil was sealed. Sometimes even that wasn't enough and coils would drift months later.

You have two solutions. 1) Don't run it at max sensitivity. 2) Remove the bottom plastic and re-null the coil. For #2 there is a loose winding that is held down with hot-melt. Moving that wire around will alter the null. To do it right you need an oscilloscope, but you might be able to at least make it better by using a ferrite and the detector's overload audio.

So this is info from first hand. The reply I did was from hear-saying by the White's forum...many moons ago.

Thanks for clarifying, Carl.

Hello Simon.

Inside the battery compartment has to be some foam which will hold the battery in place (as there is one on the 9V adapter, too). May be when the foam becomes weak that will cause some issue?

Hello Florida Tabdigger.

Many moons ago White's had some coil issues regardless v-rated or not. (V-rated is only important if you wanna run the coil on a spectra high gain + boost.) From what I remember that time is, they had a diode for temperature-compensation inside the coil that was causing some trouble after some time. But they swapped out those coils to the users for free.

If you're after a very sensitive and deep coil for the M6 I'd recommend the Detech Ultimate 7" DD or the 6x8" S.E.F.

I’m always combing through the buy, sell, trade mediums to find great deals on machines and gear. Releases like the Simplex and Vanquish have really placed a new ceiling on the value of older equipment. Still, I thought this was a good deal.

Whites MX5 Metal Detector

Whites Bullseye TRX 

Keene 50” gold sluice box 

Garret gold pan and classifier 

assorted diggers

Beach scoop (mid end)

$225

I went ahead and bought the lot so I could keep the bullseye Trx and gold sluice. The rest will be sold later in the year. 

That was a steal. You did well.👍

Got one from this seller. Took a few days, but it's a great thing as it fits all my White's detectors and you can swap the cells very easy.

Great story and wonderful memories.. You get it, thanks for sharing.👍

Hello Riccardo. Welcome to the forums, nice to have ya here.😄

Welcome Billy. Glad you found the forum and joined.😄

Whoohoo. Would be nice to read your review. 👍

Hi Zord. Glad you found this site and joined. Looking forward to see some of your finds (you know, we love pictures 😄)

Welcome aboard.

Today the weather wasn't that cold and when the rain took a break I ran "The Arrow" and the Ultimate 7" DD on the VX3.

That really is a nice coil so to speak. Pinpoint is very good, the three targets in the vid are 3", 4" & 5" deep and no problem at all. Wohoo 😁😎, that will be fun to use on the beach and in the field. Very well done, Detech.👍

Yup, you did good to dig that deep signal even if the ID was jumpy. Congrats on the gold.👍

hello,when you do the tests especially at home or even outside the home in the garden, however in a built-up area there are often emi problems, because now modern houses are worse than nuclear power stations (wifi modem router, bluetooth, telephone repeaters, etc.) even if with other detectors you have not had the same problems and they turn out to be silent does not mean that they are not affected by interference, in fact never do tests near or inside the house. For example, I have the CTX 3030 that if I turn it on inside the house and turn on a neon lamp it goes crazy! For the speech plates I confirm what is written above by others, on my experience and tests made by other friends in dedicated forums, the best plates for the v3i are the small ones, I would say not to go beyond the 12x10 sef ..... also eprche the vlf white's suffer a little from mineralized soils and black sands, to date the best tested is the detech ultimate from 7 "DD really an excellent plate, you can keep high gain without signal phases, stable at hemi, and in mineralized it is better than plates Another excellent plate that is no longer found is the mars sniper 10x6 .... I do not recommend the whites eclipse 10x6 ... they have given you a bit of annoyance .... 
 

The 6x10 Eclipse is, hands down, the best coil White's ever build in house. I do own two of them and both work excellent on my detectors in all environments. Very sensitive at good depth and stable VID. IMO

Welcome aboard, Salvo. Great you joined and yes, this is a superb forum with tons of knowledge and a bunch of nice & helpful people. And you know we like pictures from the finds & the environment where they was found.😉😊

Nice to have ya here.

works for me, too.

Practice is the key I think. When I had trouble to pinpoint with DD's, espacially the bigger ones, I tried to set up the middle from left to right and back and then, if I think got the target right under the middle of the coil, pulling the coil back until the target disappears. Now it should be right in front of the coils tip. Hope this will work for "The Arrow", too. Right now the ground is hard as a rock. So I have to wait...
