My name is Ricky and I am new to the hobby. I own a Whites V3. I probably should have started with a less complicated machine but after my research I settled on this unit because I wanted what I felt was the best I could afford and did not want to have to upgrade shortly after I made my initial purchase. It is my first detector of any kind. I live in the Chicagoland area of Illinois and would love to go on a hunt with someone in my area who can show me how this machine works or can give me general detecting tips. Show me the ropes so to speak.

hello Ricky and welcome to the forum , thats a very good detector and theres alot of good experienced people here that i'm sure would be happy to give ya pointers . most high end machines seem very complicated at first especially if your new to the hobby but practice and asking alot of questions will help with that learning curve .

best of luck to ya .
