v3

[cronge (richard)]

hi all,decided today to treat myself to a whites v3,i get on well with the dfx so thought i would go for those extra few things attached to v3,have read quite a lot of reviews on the machine and most
seem posative, looking on here the other day after rjm asked for any info on them i was quite disappointed to see that nobody seems to own one,or could,nt be bothered to reply.i remember seeing one being used at a rally i attended,but he,s possibly not a member of this forum,so anyone out there with a v3 i really need all the help i can get, many thanks cronge

Cronge to say that nobody could be bothered to reply is a bit harsh, you answered your own statement when you said nobody seems to own one, that's it exactly it....nobody owns a V3 so how can we comment on it?

You won't be alone cronge, RJM has one on its way too,
I'll be interested to see how you get on, i almost bought one , but went with the e-trac as my quattro was doing the biz and i'd committed to some extra coils and stems already by then. On paper it seams a belting bit of kit, with infinite program capabilities limited only by your imagination!
Other than the initial very high cost, i can't figure why they aren't that popular, other than they have the ability to be very complicated if you get carried away. i think there a technophobes dream, a laptop on a stick, almost
perhaps the V3 owners keep quiet cos their on to something good and want to keep it to themselves you never know.

Mine is due tomorrow.

I'll let you know how I get on with it. I had an XLT for years and it was a nice machine.

The V3 is very versatile and is supposed to be a whizz amongst the iron and has various programs
for various situations. The XLT was a detecting icon. The V3 is White's top machine and has built
on that success and DFX, so it must be okay! ?

Personally I think it was pricey when it came to the UK and was up against the E Trac so sales suffered. Now
that the price is £1K (spread over 24 months on 0%) it's affordable so it's selling and being talked about more.
The field test in TH last month helped too.

Let me know how you get on.

thanks rjm,i will let you know how i get on as well

I'm climing back up on the minelab fence where i shall sit and observe whilst saving for my Deus
assuming bits keep falling off them, including the Recommended retail price

I quite fancy the V3 but have a T2 LTD reserved with Regton, so will see how i get on, the last batch of T2 LTD'S is due by the end of the month.

Can't wait.

HI CRONGE.
ALL IVE DONE THIS WEEK IS LOOK AT THE V3.
I AM THINKING VERY HARD ON BUYING ONE THIS WEEK.
ITS EITHER THE V3 OR D.F.X.300.ITS HARD.LOL
I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SALTY IS RIGHT IN A WAY.IVE SEEN ALL THE VIDEO.S ON IT.
WE ALL NOW ITS TURN ON AND GO MACHINE.BUT THERE.S SOME PROGRAMS ON IT.SALTYS RIGHT ITS A COMPUTER.LOL.
THATS THE ONLY THING THATS GETTING TO ME.
BUT AFTER ALL THAT.
ITS STUNNING.

hi ray,  i also have a dfx and there is quite a learning curve with that,so i expect that i shall be using the v3 on the factory presets for quite a while,i also bought a xp goldmax power and only used it
twice,could,nt get on with it at all, hopefully sold now,  the only things i liked about it that it was so light and the wireless phones, i would,nt be without the dfx now,its a real silver machine,so i thought i would upgrade again with v3,and hopefully get a little more depth,plus of course wireless phones,will keep you updated,  cronge

[Roman (Ray)]

HI BUTTY.
GO ON CRONGE BUY IT.
THAT LCD SCREEN IS STUNNING.
ILL KNOW IF IM BUYING ONE BUY TONIGHT MATE.
I HAVE TODAY TO MAKE MY MIND UP.
UUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM.
ITS HARD.LOL.

[cronge (richard)]

ray i ordered it yesterday from JA just waiting for it to arrive

[Salty (Karl) Cardiff Scan Club]

Looks like a V3 revolution going on
I think RJMs is turning up today also,
If so i'm going out to play on the weekend with him,so we can do a bit of comparison against my E-trac, should be interesting

[rjm]

Still waiting....almost midday and it's not here !

Salty.......you can dig my deep signals

and I'll dig the shallow E T ones !!

I haven't bought it for the depth but it's versatility. It's a turn on and go machine
or laptop on a stick......it depends on the user. Oh, and that colour screen....
cordless headphones...  lightness .....dream on you E Trac users !! LOL

(Got mine from Detecnicks as I don't like J A.  Laura at Detecnicks did me an
excellent deal on 0%.)

eye, eye, we'll see  
I'd get a tracking number of Laura, see if you can find it.
