Wanted to try the V3 but really didnt want to have to sell my others detectors to try one. I got one on the classifieds today from Diggin jimmy hoffa for what I thought was a very reasonable price. It does not have the upgrades but i can live without them for now until I learn it better then I will decide on that. I have downloaded the manual and watched the videos from whites on youtube. I will take it to one of my parks that I know has a lot of targets, both clad and the potential for silver to try it out when it gets here. It would be nice if it would rain a little to soften up the ground. I will try to make a video too.
