It's a killer combo if you're willing to learn what makes the V3i tick. Personally, I run the V3i and the Equinox. If you consider that the VX3 is a simplified V3i, and combine sales, it sells slightly less units than the CTX. Looking at completed eBay sales for the last 90 days, at this point in its life the V3i sells steadily roughly equal to the e-trac. It is now on the uptick again as the way the Equinox runs has drawn parallels and curiosity. It sold well to begin with, then died down, particularly when the CTX was released. The V3i seems to be a trendy machine sales wise.
Wireless updates never came to fruition, and some found the GB issues frustrating. Many feel the user interface should be simpler. Any machine can find silver at a reasonable depth, fairly easily.Ĭonsidering all this, why hasn't the V3i been more popular? The majority of people do not seem to want to deal with so many adjustments and complications. How much sense does it make to treasure hunt if you're not hunting gold. The V3i is better balanced in this regard in my opinion. So it basically boils down to how much latitude you want to run the machine the way you want, and how much you want to be limited in the size Gold you can hunt. The limiting to multi with no single option etc. The preference for deep silver at the expense of small gold. Other than that, it shares the same limitations described above regarding the e-trac/Explorer. Pinpoint target trace is an amazing advance in imaging brought to a hobby detector. the CTX-3030, the CTX is obviously superior to the e-trac/Explorer in terms of features. It's easier to market a half truth that sounds more impressive.Īs far as the V3i vs. It's actually a very clever system that is difficult to explain and the Magic of FBS is not in how many frequencies that are employed, but how they are analyzed. Rather, the e-trac/Explorer is a dual frequency machine that employs a triangular wave. It counts "harmonics" that are not utilized.
The claim that FBS machines, including the E-Trac/Explorer and CTX, are 28 frequency machines is a bit of a marketing ploy. You can also listen to discrimination mode in one ear and all metal in the other in mixed mode audio. The V3i has proprietary wireless audio with no real world lag. The E-Trac/Explorer is set in its ways, and although it does overlook small gold and micro jewelry, what it does lock onto is very stable and reliable. You can select correlate or simply Best data. You can even decide how multi will run to decide VDI/Target ID.
It still does many things the Nox doesn't.
It was the Equinox before the Equinox was the Equinox. The V3i can run single frequencies and multi. Everything is adjustable from recovery/reactivity to the entire VDI and Target ID system. The V3i can save as many programs as you can create and there's room to copy as many as have been created. It gives the iron content of an object as well as the VDI, but I find this to be no match for the spectragraph which gives you many cues as to what is garbage and what is not. It favors deep silver (a capability the V3i also has), but overlooks small gold and micro jewelry due to a poor HF signal. The E-trac/Explorer has a better ground balance and tracking system. It's a metal detecting university, or as it's also been referred to "a make your own metal detector kit." Those issues aside, it's one of the greatest and most advanced machines ever to be released to the public.
WHITES BULLSEYE TRX VS MINELAB PROFIND UPDATE
Apparently in the "i" update Whites slowed the tracking to get a better ID, so when in changing terrain, of you find that tracking is not keeping up on max speed, the answer is to locktrac with offsets. This is due to crosstalk between frequencies. The V3i can be difficult to ground balance in tougher soil.
