Hi,
Here is my situation I have the idea that I am finding too much trash and maybe a better detector will help me determine a little better what is down there in order to decide to dig or not.
At the moment I have 4 detectors and I see that the performance on them is very similar. Here is what I have:
White mxt300 with the 6x10dd coil
Bounty hunter platinum
Teknetics delta 4000
Detectorpro wader

I was thinking in getting a white v3i and maybe, thanks to the 3 frequencies and the vector display I will be able to dig more goodies. Also might consider other machines but the question is: will I see a big difference from the detectors I actually have?? Will the new detector make me find more goods than trash? Should I just keep my detectors and stop complaining?

I dig plenty of good stuff with my MXT it took me till the end of my second year to get real good with it though, I would get a D2 coil(White's 10" DD coil) as you will get alot deeper targets than the 6x10DD. Alot of digging the good stuff comes with a quality spot to detect, you won't often find old coins in a new park if there was nothing at that location before it was a park. I take my MXT to a park thats been pounded since the 70's and still find old silver with the D2 coil at 6 discriminate and +2gain I listen for those faint real deep targets all the surface targets 7" or less are all clad there. I detect with a guy that has a V3i and can get targets as deep as him and yes your still going to dig some trash even with that detector. HH
