I really like being able to adjust a machine to my hunting areas and to my frame of mind during a hunt. We have all been there, days when we can hunt in all metal and 0 discrimination for hours or when with these settings 5 minutes will blow your mind. Irregardless of settings or patterns I'm running, in this day and age I would expect any machine of major manufacturers to be somewhat consistent in hitting a 8" dime and somewhat consistent in iding it as a dime in the lower mineralization here in Iowa. I think a 10" dime would be a somewhat different story ( I think). It seems to me that the V3 comes on line with almost endless adjustment menus and an unbelievable discrimination system. What is the truth of this V3? Can it consistently hit a 8" dime or a 10" quarter? Look upon me as your best friend and give me a reason I should or shouldn't get a V3.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A (GOOD V3)

Just did an air test (I know, not the best, but I am stuck in doors at the moment). With my 5.3 (6 inch coil) I can air test a dime & penny to about 7 inches (ac = 88, gain at 15). With my 950 I can hit that dime at 9".
I didn't check with the d2 (its too erratic to run inside.

I switched to single freq 7.5 khz in the coin and jewelry program and set the RX gain to 14. I kept the other sensitivity settings the same as stock and used the DD coil. Repeatable hit at 13 inches with the quarter and 11 inches on the dime. These are extreme settings but in my opinion, the V3 is not lacking in the depth department. The V3 seems to get better depth when you switch to a single frequency and put all the power to one area instead of three. With all the advanced features that it offers up, you can make it act or sound like whatever you want it to. I have a special program that gives a special tone when I detect a Civil War Minie ball. See if you can do that with any other machine out there.....I love mine and I think you will also.
