VX 3 Audio
VX 3 supports a built-in speaker, plug-in headphones, and
White’s proprietary wireless headphones. Headphones are
highly recommended as they help block out ambient noise,
making it much easier to discern the deeper target responses. If
you purchase the optional wireless headphones for your VX
3 ,
see Chapter 8 for connect instructions.
Metal Detecting Basics
There are many excellent books available that cover the
hobby of metal detecting, and this manual cannot possibly do
justice to all the aspects of the hobby. Ask your dealer to recom-
mend a good introductory book. We will, however, touch on a
few important topics.
Where to hunt
The basic rule of location is: the older the better. Old homes,
home sites, schools, parks, swimming holes, and picnic areas
can all yield great finds. However, “old” can also mean heavily
used, which can result in a lot of accumulated trash. The best
sites are those that have been “lost” or unused for decades.
Besides “old,” there are places which are constantly getting
replenished. With high gold prices, hunting for jewelry at
beaches can be very profitable, especially if it includes stones.
At parks and recreation areas, people often lay items on the
ground while they play sports, then lose or forget them.
Tip: To lock VX 3 in Pinpoint mode simply flip the trigger
switch forward.
