Rob (IL) is retiring from here due to some people complaining that you can't post comparisons on here. That's not Rob. It's me. We have a Metal Detect

[Guvner]

Thanks Rob for your years helping here. Will someone please send me the name of whoever it was who doesn't like rules that me (not Rob) set up to run our forums with. He will be looking for a new forum to hang out at.

Appreciate it again Rob. I will change the forums intro above tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks...

Guvner..

I can still help without moderating.

Rob, I apologize for complaining. I was having a bad day and it was not your fault.

After thinking about it, you were right.

Sorry.

I do not own my V3i anymore but Rob was always there to help me with any questions. Sometimes comparisons can be very valuable. Expecially when you fork out over 1000.00 on a machine.

Hi, I have been detecting for 38 years. I'm currently using a Minelab Explorer 2. Before this detector, I used a White's DFX. In my experience, the DFX has it all over the Minelab Explorer 2 except when it comes to depth and tones. The time for me to purchase a new detector has come. I'm deciding between a White's V3i and a Minelab E-Trak. I'm a member of the Michigan Treasure Hunting club and the detector that is most popular by far is the E-Trak. Andy Sabish also is a member of this club. I have talked to only one member of my club who owned a V3i and he said the machine was too complicated and he sold it. However, I told myself that if White's ever made a detector with the depth of the Minelab I would buy it. I have watched a few youtube videos on the V3i and have been impressed with the features and depth of the detector. Has anyone owned a White's DFX and the V3i who can make a depth comparison for me? I would appreciate your input. Thanks Rick

This is my first posting. I purchased my V3i on July 1st..... Rob (IL), I have found your advise a tremendous help. Thanks for your "Links" posting. Being new to the site and to forums in general, I am not clear on what is meant about comparison postings but I hate to see you go. I really enjoyed your answers to questions I hadn't gotten around to asking. So, Simply, Thank You, for leaving me a lot of answers and advice, to be found in your archives.
