I have a treasure pro that I got back when they came out I have found more with that in one month than I have in the 5 years that I have used the equinox 800. I wanted a v3i when I bought the 800 the v3i was just a little out of my price range. I thought well minelab is a good company and they are useing 5 frequencies not 3. Now the fault of not having a good time with the 800 is mostly on me I know it’s a great machine but when I saw the new manticore coming out and it’s 2D frequency display I looked into it. It would be most helpful but only coming out right now with the standered coil and not having a small one is a big deal for where I hunt. Then I remembered the V3i had something like that where you can look at the response of all of the frequinceys from a target. The more I looked the more I came to realize that what whites spectra V3i was 10+ years ago is still at the front of the technology in metal detecting. So I found a V3i on eBay with a few coils with it. I have only had it maybe two weeks and have found more targets with less trash in the two weeks than in the first year with the 800.
