Love My V3i But Thinking About The Anfibio Multi Thoughts?

[☠ Cipher]

I have the V3i and the Equinox 800. I have not found the Equinox to be a replacement for the V3i even after being well acquainted with it by now. Equinox is faster, and stock coil to stock coil, a bit deeper than V3i in multi operation. Equinox can also get wet. So I see it as more of a complement to a V3i. Nothing aside from a CTX provides the kind of graphic target info and disc tools a V3i does. I still prefer it for most inland hunting particualrly with the 13" detech. I have also found that what it lacks in ordinary separation methods it makes up for in 3 frequency pinpoint. Where the bars shift it is easy to tell where one object ends and an adjacent target begins. I do strongly recommend an Equinox 800 to anyone with a V3i though. What a deadly duo. Never been happier or more productive than with this combo.

Outside of not being waterproof, why would you want to find another detector? Id explore extra coils for that V3.

For me, that was basically the primary reason. I needed a water machine. Didn't want to take my V3i anywhere near water. If I had to choose only one machine, it would still be the V3i with that 13" Detech. But I couldn't ignore the Equinox and all it offers for the price. Same reason I likely won't be able to ignore the Simplex. Nice backup all terrain from all we are hearing from respected names in the hobby.

If I didn't have my ATP for slugging through the sludgy ponds I would look at the Multi Kruzer. Not that it's better or worse than the Nox but rather I like the eliptical coil better in my area vs round, the s handle looks more comfortable than the Amphibio and Nox as I am used to those. Vibration is handy as if I miss the target the water gets really murky and lastly they have a 9" round concentric coil available which would be killer in parks with a lot of beer bottle caps.

If your looking to hit the beach then the Nox is your best choice as far as VLF's

Just my thoughts.

Whites Spectra V3 is a timeless detector .. We'll see what it can do with a 18 "detech Excelerator coil ...
