Thanks everybody for the constructive input
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new V3 two days ago. I went out last night for a little over two hours at a local park that we all pounded this summer and landed me my first piece of silver - a 1900 Barber Dime in the post above.
For now, I still think the E-Track is a better machine until I prove myself wrong.
So, the burning question is why did I get the V3 over the E-Track? For a few reasons:
1. Competition: There are four new E-Track users in these parts that I know of. I figured that if all the machines may miss some good targets I may be able to find. No two detectors will find everything.
2. Appeal: I actually like complicated machines. I am a geek at heart and don't mind tweaking a detector to get working "right"
3. Price: It would cost me about $600 more to be outfitted with similar equipment that I used on my MXT.
4. Service: I am familiar with White's outstanding service. Not to say anything bad about Minelab.
5. Resell: Hey, if I am wrong, I can always sell it!!!
There you have it.
HH!
