    Hi thanks for all the positive comments, it's not so much learning the machine in the UK, the hard part is getting permission for fields to detect on Detectorguru i have never used a Goldmaxx power, but it has a huge following here in the UK,if there new machine is going to be better than the...

    Detectorguru sniffer is from the UK, and i was asking him for his opinions, i wont man up and buy the machine, i research any machine i buy before purchasing,this forum is for sharing information, and is open to everyone worldwide. The V3 has only been in the Uk for around a month, there is...

    sniffer You have only had your detector 3 weeks and your selling it on ebay? you also had an E-trac which you sold after a few weeks? my question is if the V3 is so good why are you selling it

    etrac vs v3

    Im in Wiltshire, not joking now when i had my XLT I found hammered on every outing, so i am quite loyal to Whites although i was not impressed with the DFX Once i see what this new French machine is all about, i will make my mind up which detector to get At the moment the V3 is my number 1...

    etrac vs v3

    Thanks pastyman good information like this is helpfull sounds like the V3 has the edge over the E-trac, i could never get on with the multie tones of minelab detectors they drove me mad. I here the French company are bring out a new detector soon, so i will either go for a V3 or maybe the new...

    etrac vs v3

    I have used an XLT and a DFX both are extremely easy to use Setting up the discrimination patters on a E-trac looks very complicated,as do a lot of the other settings. The multi tones of the E-trac need a very steep learning curve, there confusing and i would not recommend the machine to a...

    etrac vs v3

    Hello xarget I stated Whites detectors are quite easy to use, and are well balanced, and i would chose one over a minelab. The E-Trac is the most complicated machine i know of, i do not like the tones minelab machines make,there confusing,even to experienced users Beginners should remember it...

    Thank you nw1886 Yes i am not slating the V3 in any way, it is an expensive machine, i used to have an XLT great machine, the DFX in the UK was a big disappointment to everyone What sounds interesting about the V3 is that you can except down to iron, then assign a tone of your choise to those...

    etrac vs v3

    You would have to go onto the Minelab forum and ask them what a E-Trac is like, reports from the Uk are saying they can detect coins up to 18 inches, but they are very complicated detectors to use+ there very heavy. Whites detectors are quite easy to use, are well balanced, i doubt the V3 can...

    No i do not have one, and until i can get some feedback on how it performs on site's like plough fields, roman medieval etc i wont be getting one. vdi numbers, and all the bells and whistles, mean nothing on plough fields as you dig everything, what's important are things like does the detector...

    Most of the coins are new losses that any detector could have found, take it out on a roman or medival site full of iron, then come back and tell us how good the detector is

    Recovery test.

    Thank you Larry, very well explained, and i have learned somthing, i thought recovery speed was the most important thing about a metal detector, i now realise i was wrong.

    Recovery test.

    You do not discriminate out the nail, you have to i repeat have to, get a signal on the nail first after getting a signal on the nail you then sweep over the coin, if it does not signal You then move the coin further away and repeat the test until the coin registers This test is so simple i...

    Recovery test.

    Hi just for information a recovery test does not mean how close you can get a coin next to an iron nail Most detectors will find a coin on top of or under a nail A recovery test is were you signal the iron first, you then see how long the detector takes to recover, and signal the coin. after...

    bfodnes my friend

    Thanks Bjorn I thought you had one,my mistake,maybe the French will bring out a new machine soon,although it would have to be better than the machine you already use. This V3 is tempting though hopfully it wont be long until a field test is carried out on it in the Uk Good luck with your...

    Short Recovery Speed Test just placed on Youtube

    Hello Ray I was thinking of the coin shooters among you, yes your right relic hunting is another ball game, this is were recovery speed really is an important issue. The test woodchiphustler did although appreciated, it was not done correctly. I think i will get back to finding coins and...

    Short Recovery Speed Test just placed on Youtube

    I would not call this a recovery test You must hear the detector lock on to the iron, and then signal on the coin after passing the iron you also have to use a small silver coin and 3" rusty old iron nail for the test as well. But who am i to say, i only have 30+ years experience I do know...

    UK v3 first time out

    Hi pastyman What sort of depths were you find the pennys at ? did you find the machine stable to use ? could you do the Uk people a favour and bury a hammered penny at 6-7 inches and post the results you have ? Can you then put the hammered penny next to a piece of iron, and post the results ...
