I frequently see the debate raging as to which is the better metal detector, the Minelab E-Trac or the Whites Spectra V3. I have not used either detector but fully believe in both of their abilities. Each has it’s strong points and areas where it doesn’t perform up to par, so let’s settle it once and for all. In your opinion, which is the better detector overall? Comments are appreciated justifying your reasoning.
