Thanks for not purchasing my VX3 y'all

A few months ago, after a period of just general frustration with my Whites VX3 I put it up for sale here at this site but no one bit. After staring blankly at this apparently useless machine (and listening to my wife bugging me to sell it), I decided to give it a go and take it out to the park again. Nothing, just a pain in the a@@ to even pin point a target. My fortune changed when my good friend Mortamus spoke of the great virtues of the VX3 discrimination ability in conjunction with the right sniping coil. What a difference a change in attitude makes! Yes I pull a lot of pull tabs but that is where the gold is.

My first gold ring with the VX3 today, a nice 4.6 gram 14k ring to keep my new found motivation flowing. http://tnet.forumfoundry.com/forums/images/smilies/hello2.gif

If I may ask, why were you so frustrated with it?
I have one too and was impressed the first time out. Of course I did swap out the 950 coil with a D2 I had before I first went out with it.

I foolishly went from the the 950 coil to a 12"coil. Big mistake in trashy areas. I now use a Eclipse Shooter "DD" 4x6. Like a knife in butter.
