which one should I buy? I've heard good things about both,I've read up on both, each has features that I like, but I would like to here from people who use them!
Thanks, Dan
Thanks, Dan
That depends on many things. Have you ever detected? Have you ever used either brand? Do you like learning detectors with pretty steep learning curves? The list goes on and on. If you are just starting out it will be a challenge at the least with either of these. I'm not saying it can't be done but it will be a challenge. It really depends on many things.
And yes they are both great machines but any detector is only as good as the operator so just keep that in mind. If you make it through the learning curve i think you'd be happy with either.
Both great machine but you will need to try them both out and decide what's right for you mainly because they are so different and each have their fan's on here. They will both find the same stuff when it comes down to it so you need to decide which you think would be more fun and fit your hunting style. If I had to choice I would go V3i mainly because im curious to try it and already have an Explorer.
I forgot to mention I do like to beach hunt when I get the chance!
Thanks for all the info! You guys are great! I think I've made up my mind, after your info and the video's I've watched it looks like the V3I is the one for me! Thanks again!
As a owner of the V3, TDI, MXT, and DFX I'd say if you are set on either a V3 or a E-Trac you should 110% buy the E-Trac...no joke.
I'll have an E-Trac before summers end.
Get a MXT for relics and a E-Trac for coins.
I would also say the V3i has the slight edge when it comes to depth and swing speed because of its ability to run 3 frequencies at once while the E-Trac can only do one..
