Well after some long thought and lots of reading here on this forum and a few PMs. I made the v3i purchase late this afternoon and hopefully will see it tomorrow. I was a long time dfx users and hoping the learning curve wont be to hard. Thanks to Larry(IN) and Larry @ NWI for helping me out.

Congratulations Larry........... there sure are a lot of Larry's involved in your V3i purchase............
I have had my v3i for 3 months now and love it what a detector . I started with the hi-pro program and I am working my way up.

Good luck Pratt. Same as you, long time DFX user. My V3i should arrive next week. Just have to carve out time to dedicate being a "student" of the new technology inside it. Time, never enough. A couple of days playing hooky from work will aid my learning curve.

The big thing guys is to realize you already know the V3i more than you realize. So many of the concepts and adjustments are the same. Stick with the controls that are on the DFX for starters....slowly wade in to the other stuff (your going to love it as you do) and your own learning speed is the right one for you. Fun box you have and congrats.

nw1886, thank you. I will follow your advice, logical way of approaching it.

It takes a while to learn...even though it has preprogrammed "pick up and hunt" settings...the real treat is when you figure out how to tweak it to your specific style and ground that you hunt. Sometimes I love mine...and sometimes it frustrates me...but I am keeping after it, and hope to make some more good finds with it. Best of luck to you and yours.
