    V3i Software - upgradeable?

    Is the V3i something that needs software upgrades? I bought it used (twice used) and the serial sticker says it was built in 2014 but am curious if there are different software revisions or should I be good to go?

    Question about pinpoint mode

    Very new to the V3i. Searching an old park today. Occasionally, I'd get a fairly good signal swinging left and right but when I would pull the trigger to go in pinpoint mode, I'd find nothing in the area I was scanning. This happened on several targets. Other targets it would work fine. I never...

    Loop Supports - Ok with a underwater detector?

    Is it ok to add a loop support to a water detector? The screw/nut combination thingy on my Surfmaster PI is loose and although I can tighten it up - it loosens right back up. Will the support fix this? Thanks for your help! Chris

    Question about freshwater lake temperatures.

    I haven't invested in any sort of neoprene or diving suit and initially plan on just searching with swim trunks and such. My local lake temp right now is 51 degrees. If I'm going to be searching thermally unprotected, what is a safe minimum temperature to go from? Is 51 too cold? I rtealize some...

    Can anyone recommend a good beach/water pouch?

    Looking to get a good pouch to use while water hunting. Is there any real "Cadillac" out there or will just about any pouch do? Thanks Chris

    New owner of a Surfmaster PI Plus

    Today I became the owner of a very gently used Surfmaster PI Plus with weighted coil. This will be my first underwater detector so I will be doing a lot of learning. I already realize that a better choice could have been made for my "freshwater" hunting but budgetary reasons ($300) prevented me...

    Surfmaster PI - any chance it will do well in freshwater?

    I've heard both good and bad about the surfmaster PI in freshwater - can anyone tell me if I could expect to do at least reasonably well in freshwater only? Thanks

    Long-Handled Sand Scoop Question

    I'm soon going to have my first water detector. I will be doing mainly sandy beaches in freshwater. I have been looking at all the extended scoops out on the market and some fetch as much as $190. Is there any really justification in getting such an expensive scoop? Are the $50 variety found on...

    Question about a good price on a Surfmaster II Plus

    I've been involved in ground-based detectors for many years and I have a good feeling for their value. However, I am looking at getting in to a water detector (probably 100% freshwater) and am thinking of getting a used Surfmaster II with an Amphibian II coil and headphones - somewhere close to...

    Help with picking out the 'Right' detector.

    Hello - all. I've been metal detecting off and on for many years and recently got back into the 'swing' of things. I am now interested in trying my hand at beach/water detecting. My beach/water work will be 95% freshwater as I am land-locked in the middle of the mid-west. Without spending a...
