I can't believe my luck, last week at work I started working with a guy I had worked with on and off before, but never more than 4 hours at a time. Well anyway half way through the week he asked me if I knew anything about this detector that was coming up at an estate sale, he knew I was into detecting. When he showed me the picture on his phone from the auction site I couldn't believe it, it was a V3i. I told him I thought it was Whites top of the line detector, and he got on ebay and confirmed it. Well I ended up going down to the auction site after work to check it out, I couldn't believe it when I saw it, there wasn't a mark on it! Whoever bought this detector never put it to the ground, it apparently just stood in the corner looking pretty. It had 2 rechargeable battery packs, 1 backup pack, charger, a Bullseye II pinpointer with the original 9 volt battery still in the cellophane wrapper, headphones (not wireless) and a soft carrying case. I checked it out to make sure it worked, but the last detector I bought was a late 90's Spectrum XLT so there was a little bit of a learning curve figuring it out. Well making this long story shorter I won the bidding and got this whole setup for $750.
I took it out yesterday in my front yard (use to be a hay field) and even in the dry ground we're experiencing here in central Pa I pulled an old pocket knife out from 8" down. Wow, I think I'm going to like this detector!
