I hunt with a V3i and do well with it. Dan-Pa talks about same vdi - but different mass targets...foil/gold audio differences...I'm a believer. On V3i stereo mixed mode - all metal/discrimminate simultaneously but seperate sides of the headphones - AM in one ear and Disc in the other can really hear targets well....but the best way to tell gold from foil is with the spectagraph.

I look at it this way....if I were hunting or fishing or gambling or hot rodding or running the bars....I would be spending a lot more than I do 'tectin every now and then.... i've always paid for my 'tectors...usually several times over....and still come out ahead of the game.

I used xlt for years and loved it - but I have to say that I love my v3i lots more - awesome machine! I agree that people will be learnin it for years to come.
