Jimknife, I too finally decided on a V. Bought it a few weeks ago, but have only had it out twice. Light, quiet, and nice to use. I'm sure it will become my go to detector. I've always been a multi-tone guy, but thumbing the disc. dial works for me. Hope you enjoy it. Eric
Single tone works just swell for me, although I can work multiple, I see no handicap with a single tone.
To me, a handicap would be not having a quality set of headphones.
The Golden uMax has multi-tone ID - and it seems that I don't see many post about it.
The Cortes has multi-tone in the sum mode. I bought it to see what the sum mode does as far as the display confidence bars, but I find myself when using the Cortes, I run it in all metal mode, and I don't use the sum mode which was the reason I bought it
And I find I rarely look at the display also

Have to go with the headphones!!!!!!!!!!! The order of importance is: {BRAIN<>MD<>QUALITY HEADPHONES}
I used cheep headphones and thought I was doing good.
I recently bought a quality set and I don't know how I functioned without them.
I'm digging everything in the spectrum of sound just to learn what it all sounds like.
I've dug thousands of targets in just a short while. I'm getting sick of aluminum. I'm digging all shapes and sizes.
Here's what I mean. A one hour nonproductive hunt this morning in wood chips.
When I get in the hard to dig and retrieve areas this spring I'm going to know what to dig and what not to dig a whole lot better than I did before quality headphones.
HH,

HH,
That wasn't unproductive. Look at how many new aluminum pieces you recovered to add to your collection! Just pulling your chain, bud! And headphones, the good ones, do make a difference. That and learning the individual sounds that each detector has for different materials as well as sizing the target. But I will admit with what is the now onslaught of years my hearing, even with Killer Bees, is not as capable of discerning small differences as they once were.
