V3 wins hands down

[JamesBondaka]

[size=large][/size]I just recently got my v3 upgrade and decided to head out and check some of

the new v3i features. I went directly right next to a power substation so the

V3i was going crazy. I turned it down a bit and changed the freq. It was now

stable to hunt. This area is loaded...I mean loaded with trash. Can slaw, old

& new bottle caps, pull tabs and foil. When I used the mine lab, I was able to

find things but basically only when the targets were by themselves. The

trash mostly drove me crazy. Not so with the v3. I went from target to

target fairly quickly and analyzed each one. There was 2 that stood out from

the rest...a nice 3 diamond 3/4 carat diamond ring and then a nice wedding

band. I could fairly easily recognize good targets from junk. There was a

couple of times...I was not sure or got fooled but most of the time, I knew

coins & rings from junk. The v3(i) wins hands down on cluing you in on what

is what, over the mine lab. I had to mostly guess before when looking at VDI

numbers etc. and now I can be reasonably sure. I get better each time I go

out and learn new aspects of the analyze screen. I have also found more

valuable items with the v3(i). The v3i is a absolute keeper in my book!

Need to say, I was too busy finding things to check out the new features.

Hopefully, the next trip I can do so,

What a great hunt! (Getting right to the goods is the best excuse for not learning the new features!) I haven't done the V3i upgrade yet, but still at the point where I'm feeling there's still plenty of growth room before needing to jump to sending it off. Congratulations on a difficult and productive hunt!

Thanks, I am pretty sure that it will get better and better!

Good luck to you
