V3i and CZ

Lawrenzeno,
Ive noticed you've been asking around alot regarding the V3 so I'll just give you my 2cents worth.
I have both machines, and my 1021 has been calibrated by Nasa Tom and air tests a dime around 12".
My V3i is a very deep machine (especially in boost) and I would say its just as deep as the 3D. I have dug just as many deep coins with the V3 as I have the 3D. I have many hours on both, more on the V3. To compare the 2 is difficult at best because they are 2 very different machines. I love the 3D for its power, simplicity and the ability to id old coins in hi-tone.
However IMHO, the V3i cannot be beaten by ANY detector for jewelry hunting simply because of the amount of information it gives, especially in the analyze mode, and you will dig FAR less junk. The 3D cannot id a screwtop from a coin, the V3 does not have a problem with it because in analyze mode the top line of the hump is always blue signifying the 22.5 frequency. Coins are always green (2.5). except the nickel which is the blue 22.5. And speaking of nickels...the only time Im ever fooled over nickels with the V3 is over can slaw and very few other peices of aluminum.
There are many, many tricks to be learned with this machine and and probably will be a few more years till it is more fully appreciated.
I know this was alittle more than you asked for however I noticed you were also asking about screwtops and ect in other posts.
Hope this helps.
Aaron

I was curious about using the analyze mode for finding jewelry. I hear some say it works and I have heard some say that you still can't tell gold from aluminum trash. I was wondering which is it? I don't mean any disrespect I know it is I fine machine I was just wondering the truth about it. Thanks.

I just ordered mine and I think that gold will be hard to find but there may be a way to look at the target better and see the size and analize it more. I will have to try this when I hunt parks. With my G2 I found five gold diamond rings in two months a new record for me but had to dig the tabs. Yeah I think this machine can do a lot if you take the time to learn it and play with it. It can be more of a unit that you may analyze some of the targets with take more time and really slow down that would be what I would do for gold. But I have found rings at older parks real deep and then some just two inches deep. It would be cool if you could analyze junk from gold. But if you could do that then man I could have a lot of extra cash and we would all be at the parks and schools hunting each day...There is also about 90% of good targets that are masked so what can the V3 do at unmasking from what I have read it does a great job.
I would like mine to be set up for relic hunting fast at multy targets, be able to read through iron and then at parks I want the deep silver coins that are out of most detectors ranges. But if a machine can do this and you can learn to program it and push it...I think it can be done and hunt with an Etrac with no problem. I would like to create a program that would be like my G2 on steroids. I wonder just how easy it is to screw up this machine if you don't know what you are doing but this forum is going to be the only way to learn and then tweek it yourself.

Those of us that have been putting in the time on the V3 know that it is possible to tell the difference between aluminum and gold in SOME cases. I know this is a definate fact in the small gold ring range (the most common gold ring lost) especially around the nickel. Those of you who dont know what Im talking about need to start saving your pulltabs...and then compare them to womans gold rings in the analyze mode.....
