Hello (new) friends!
I know this is a touchy subject (not trying to pick a fight), but Iām trying to do my due-diligence to buy my first metal detectorāsomething Iāve wanted since childhood. My first instinct is that āyou get what you pay for.ā
I understand that the Whiteās Spectra V3i has a steep learning curve, and the Minelab E-Trac is commonly said to be ready out-of-the-box (yet other Whiteās users will say that it is, too, if you use the factory default settings).
Most often, it seems I hear that the E-Trac is the silver coin slayer, but how does it fare otherwise with relics, gold, etc.? On the other hand, is Whiteās Spectra truly capable of āanythingā so long as you tweak the settings (that being the huge learning curve)?
Although Iām a beginner, Iām thinking one of these will satisfy long term, but Iād love feedback... And I suppose oftentimes it boils down to FINDS and LOCATION.
What do you think? Thanks.
