Best yet
Magic in Indiana -
I have used lots of different detectors in my life. I have used alot of the whites brands starting with the 5900 di pro. I had the dfx for a long time and made some really good finds with it. Then came the V3. This machine is incredible.
For what I want out of a detector...there is nothing like it out there! I do not just hunt silver coins as some people want, I hunt everything I can find thats old and some new stuff. This machine will let me adjust and do pretty much what I want. And I am not just talking about the colors and looks. If you are new to detecting or not good with computer type stuff or just want a turn on and go machine, I wouldnt recommend this one. You can turn on and go but it will not be at its full capacity. I will have this detector for years to come without having to buy a newer one. I dont think I would want to dig much deeper than this machine has already had me digging!
Price wise...You get what you pay for. I would have paid 2500 for this machine.

Spectra V3 a great detector!
Erik in Tybee Island, Ga -I've been detecting with Whites equipment since 1978. The V3 is a huge step above anything I have ever used. It can be used right out of the box but offers more. Don't expect to learn the depth of this machine over night. Read, watch the videos, ask questions on the Whites forum, spend time learning the language of this detector and you will be rewarded with amazing finds. The price is more than worth it. I would buy one again in a heart beat.

Very nice features, Very High tech
Chris in La Verne , CA -I've had this detector only a few weeks now, and it is very much a different machine than my old DFX, it is much deeper, and the target ID is really good, I really enjoy the graph feature that shows size and probable target and I LOVE the wireless headphones, I agree with some of the other users that the price is sort of outrageous, but I bought mine used for much less than Whites retail price, I also agree that the stock DD coil is marginal at best, but I acquired a 950 V rated coil and a super 12 V rated coil and those 2 are all I will probably ever need.
There is quite a learning curve to this machine, so certainly give it some time before you give up on it if you buy one.

OVERPRICED MONSTER
Sam in Olympia, WA -
If Whites wants to invent and sell a detector where you read lots of new meter information, it should be accurate. After looking/hearing all the new bells and whistles, does it find more? All I can say is - Not yet! I should have tested one before buying. After all is said and done, it better find more than my $100 detector (which it does not) or something is wrong here. Yes, White's needs to pay the bills so it's up to the buyers to send a message - IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE!

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.

Great company
dktucson in Az. -Had a problem with my spectra, sent it in and Whites, much to my surprise replaced it with a brand new unit, plus coil. The turn around was great, and I am one happy detecter person with the great service.

OVERLY PRICED TOY/
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.
