Ferret finder what's your Favourite

[cawleada04 4]

What do you Prefer the mrk 3 ferret finder collor with or without the magnet. I have both and I find the Magnetic collar Annoying. I find the other very easy to put on the ferret and ones its on its on.

Pile of crap

 

[foxtails 272]

prefer the mk1s

[Ferret Face 0]

I prefere MK1's easy to use and understand

[Tug 168]

Only simple people struggle to use the MK3, and the magnets make it even easier to use (no fumbling with batteries with cold hands)

I have used both and i now use the mk3

 

It takes a few days to get to grips with it but once you are familiar with it it is far superior to the mk1.

 

In search mode you locate the ferret far quicker.

 

No issues when ferreting near wire as you get with mk1.

 

The only issue is it reads a foot deeper than where the ferret is and my mates is exactly the same but once you are aware of this you dig accordingley.

 

Both myself and my mate have had no issues with the mk3.

 

Too many people seem to give up too easily.

 

Persnally i would never go back to a mk1 it works for me.

i used the mk1 for years and found them good but when the mk3 came out i decided to up grade and at first strugled to work it out and was going to go back to the mk1 but with abit of time i picked it up 3 years on i would never go back. I was ferreting weekend just gone and we used my mates mk1 boxes and collers and to tell the truth there not a patch on the mk3m i nearley gave up on the mk3m and now im very very glad i diddnt

I really like the mk3 the accuracy can be a bit off at times but once you get the hang of it and use the two modes properly works fine. A lot of people like to complain about it and I would agree the collars arent strong and do break. But has anyone lost a ferret while using it?

The prob with the depth guage I find is that

if I use the MK3 collar with the MK3m locator the depth

is out ,if I use the mk3m collar with the mk3m locator

it is spot on.

Bold statement...

Swapped my old knocker box for the mark 3, strange at first, but when the old eyes are starting to go it is a lot easier to read the depth on the display with the lights than to read the wheel, so glad I swapped.

Mk3m by far the best upto date. Cant inderstand how ppl cant seem to work out how to use them. Played about with myn for 5mins and its reali easy its got pinpointer n everything and myn is bang on top of ferret everytym. A cant get my head round how ppl still buying knocker box for stupid money on ebay. But everyone to ther own i suppose
