    Now let me state, that I love my V3i (most of the time). But it seems most people use their V3i for relic hunting and only a few for beach hunting. Most times at the beach I have NO problems. I get out on the beach, ground balance and off I go. BUT sometimes, like the past few days. My V3i just...

    Anyone Use a V3i for beach hunting ????

    Hi all. Just wondering if anyone uses a Whites V3i on the beach. If so Im looking to find a deep setting. I was out at the beach last week just tunning. I could pick up a gold ring at 16" but was very unstable. I found this odd, because I have dug up a penny before at 24". Thanks FERD
