Pleased with Spectra V3

Nathaniel in Hopewell Junction, NY - best

The first two things that impressed me about this detector were the Spectra’s rigid construction and the color LCD. So far the display has proved to be very visible under all lighting conditions. The next thing that impressed me was a great number of adjustments which definitely can provide flexibility in tuning the machine to any metal detecting conditions. I’m not sure if I ever explore all the adjustments because I usually hunt with the factory preset programs, and Spectra’s presets work great. My last coin find was a large cent which I dug up from the 11” depth at the searched site! I discovered another great thing about Spectra during my hunt in the woods when a heavy rain suddenly hit. Unlike my previous detector, Spectrum XLT, Spectra V3 didn’t go berserk in extreme wet conditions. It’s pretty well water resistant! Since then I’ve never had a problem with Spectra getting a little wet. I also have to mention a rechargeable battery pack – it charges surprisingly fast! Oh, I almost forgot about the wireless headphones! Man, this is a truly fantastic invention! I couldn’t believe there was no cord getting in the way and restricting my movements! All in all, Spectra V3 gets my 5 stars for sure!
