thanks! I will have a manual when I get it :P haha
I would like to know your opinion on it and it's operation, how well does it detect stuff, etc' if you are familiar with it

I have no experience with the VLF, but from what I have read a better entry level model would be the Tracker IV. Alot of people swear by the Tracker and I guess they can be picked-up for under $100.00. I think if you do a search here on the forum you will find at least one review of the vlf and alot on the TrackerIV. Guess it depends on how cheap you can get the VLF vs a Tracker. Just my 2 cents worth.

well, I can get the VLF for 75$, when I didn't find the tracker anywhere that ships to Israel..

 

['bulaDirtDog]

Sorry....I didn't see that you are in Israel. I guess in that case I would get what I could at this time and then possibly upgrade down the road. Happy Hunting!

Thank you very much! I will upgrade when I can (probably a while after I move to Canada and get a job... will take at least a year and a half xD maybe 2..), untill then I'll make the best out of the VLF

Sounds like a plan to me!
