Time For A New Detector

[The Rebel]

It would appear my trusty V3I that I bought on 2/5/2011 is no more. Not sure what happened as I was at home today and putting in a new toggle switch as the old one was busted. When I put the battery in & hit the power button, nothing came on. Tried a different battery and still no luck.

Franks been swinging the Deus 1 for some time now with great results and I'm going to buy a Deus 1 as well with the WS5 headphones and 11" coil, this way the learning curve will be easier with him to give me some pointers.

I'm thinking about sending the V3I in to be fixed to have as a backup but gotta see what the cost will be. I love the V3I but man I have to say it's getting tougher to swing it after several hrs and man is the Deus so light.

Gonna give Rich at Colonial Metal Detectors a call tomorrow as Frank & I are supposed to go out this Sat. Seeing we're both in CT I'll have it next day.

Was looking at the Deus 2 but those WS6 headphones look awful uncomfortable.
