Hey guys dont post as much due to a 2 year old running around the house. But I posted a reply on another post about why the V3 is a winner for me, thought I would start a new topic. As I am curious to hear if others feel the same.
When it comes to the V3 I feel that it is the versatility that really makes it a winner.I feel that if you were to only use the V3 with its out of the box settings and not tweak it or create your own programs, then it may feel overpriced. Its when you start really learning the machine, tweaking it and creating your own programs that you really get your moneys worth.
Its the versatility of this machine that seals the deal for me. Here in California the Minelabs are the kings of the parks for silver and the T2/F75/MXT machines are the best for relic hunting. The minelabs with their low freq do great with the silver in "hunted out" parks, while with the F75/T2 and its lightning fast processing really shines when relic hunting in iron.
With the V3 you can create programs that emulate both of those detectors, which is what I have done. Create a program that only runs on the 2.5 khz and give it a longer recovery delay and you can setup your machine similar to a minelab. Create a program that only runs on the 22khz freq, speed up the recovery delay and create a custom tone scheme for only two tones and you have a nice relic program where you dig everything but iron, which is how I ran my F75.
Or even better pick and choose things you like from different machines and as Mike Hillis posted recently create your own Dream Machine. It may not be deeper than a minelab or faster then an F75 but it does give you way more options then either one of those machines do and with Whites top notch support.
