what is the best

[The one 8,459]

The worse problem i had with the mk1 was doing a 4 acre garden i thought id located my ferret 3 foot down at the boundry fence and i dug down and about a yard along then i found out the mk1 reading the owners invisable electric fence for keeping her dog in :icon_redface:r

The MK3 is good, but definitely reads long, that is a definite known fault and should be stated on the unit before someone takes the head of a ferret.

MK3m all day long for me, the only thing you have to remember is to turn down the locator knob as you get close, or they read deeper than you are, and point the MK3 down when you have it on locate, my MK3 locates down to six inches every time

They are both great bits of kit and although I tend to use the mk3 most of the time these days the mk1 is also a great peice of kit.Personly I find that if you keep fresh batteries in the transmiter and receiver and as has been said point the locator horizontal on search and virtcal on locate then I usualy get a fairly accurate result with it.

The Mk3 is also great this time of year if your working in or around heavy cover bolting to a dog or gun as on search you can easly keep an eye on were your ferret is and avoid them wandering of unoticed.
