So my V3i arrived today and these are my first impressions. I've owned an MXT, for 6 years now, and so I’m familiar with Whites detectors, feel, build quality, etc. After assembling the unit, which was a breeze, I picked up the V3i and found it to be well balanced, very solid feeling, and, it seemed to fit my hand like a glove. I was somewhat not sure about this unit after owning a DFX for short time and dealing with it’s comprehensive but, what I thought was an over kill menu system. V3i menu - excellent! Just enough adjustments to impact hunting conditions, and a breeze to navigate. Then, off to my test garden. My first target was a dime at 7”. I was surprised at how easily the V3i hit this target, I mean solid hit! After a few other coins in the 7” - 8” range which it the V3i had no problem hitting, I was a believer! The analyze mode was amazing in helping me ID a nickel vs. tab. Looking forward to getting this out in the field and posting some videos. V3i looks to be an excellent compliment to my trusty MXT.
