Spectra V3
Happy Whites Owner
Jack in Southern Ohio -
I purchased a new Spectra V3 and within hours was out searching for lost gold and much to my suprize within ten minutes I found a gold wedding band . This machine is simple to operate . As a Old friend once told me "You Pay with Peanuts you get a Monkey to do the Job ! " So this machine is worth every penny I paid for it! Very pleased owner .

What we really want from a unit...
Robert S. in New Jersey -
I have been detecting since i was 14. I am 60 now. I have had all the best whites detectors ever built. So I think I know what I am doing in the field. But I just want to let you know what "most" in this hobby Really Really want out of a good unit...
1. a great silver coin detector !! Forget the discrimination! Make one that goes very deep just for silver alone. Hey it's almost the year 2010... Imagine, no bells and whistles, no tweaking-- no "getting use to" machines, no false signals. Just Silver--Then you would see us paying your asking price with out any sighing- If this idea is not for the other small percent of users, then keep your difficult machines for them to fool with. For most though, we can't stand digging up a quarter or dime signal and getting a cut piece of aluminum can or a piece of copper pipe... just for once, can we have something we want and can "really" depend on? Thanks.

CHARLES GLISSON in BAINBRIDGE GA -
Whites. I owe you respect for your great detectors, but come on, this price for your spectra v3 is out of range. Come off your price and more people will buy your spectra v3.

Great Detector With Not So So Good Coil
Jack in Colorado, USA -This detector is without a doubt a step above the DFX. I have spent the last 3 years with the DFX and when I finally got my hands on the V3 it stood up to all the hype. This is a very deep running detector with great features. The amount of feedback available on a target is simply amazing. I have used older versions of the 950, 6x9 Eclipse, and the Super12 coils on the V3. They can not handle the TX boost at higher gain settings, but other than that they ID and run well on the V3. On the down side, the stock D2 coil has a high rate of failure. I went through 2 of them before replacing it with a Super12 coil. The D2 coil is certainly not up to the White's standards that we know and have come to expect from this company. There service as usual is second to none in taking care of their customers. This is a great detector for anyone. From beginner to advanced will find this unit a keeper.

White's best detector to date
Ray in USA -Have been using the V3 for more than 6 months now. As usual you see people selling there V3 after just a few weeks of use. This machine takes several months to get a feel of and I am constantly learning new things about it each time I use it. Not a detector for someone just starting in the hobby. This is a great detector you just have to be patient with and listen and watch what it telling you. Use only V optimized coils as the regular DFX/MXT/M6 coils do not report correct target information. It's a very advanced machine and will deliver outstanding results when operated correctly. It's not a revamped DFX and is much more advanced than any other detector I have used. It's excellent in iron and has very good depth. It has every feature that you could ever want in a detector and you won't likey ever outgrow this detector!

Jer from Ks
Jerry in Wichita, Ks. -I have only had this for 2 weeks but I like it better than the DFX. For those people that are good with the DFX it may be a good call. I don't recomend it for one just starting out. If simple is what is desired then this is not ideal. It is the only detector that I ever used that shows what every frequency is doing in color (lots of info at once on screen). It does find deep targets and id them well once ya learn how to interpret all the info on screen. Like the DFX it will be a useless noise maker if one doesn't know what they are adjusting. I HIGHLY recomend reading the manual cover to cover. I found lots of things this can do that I wouldn't have found exploring the menus. The menu system is not bad. most changes can be made and auto saved without entering menu mode. I like it complex and this is turning out to be my favorite detector. I also like the wireless headphones even though the price seems a bit high at $250 if not purchased with the detector.
