Just wanted to share this with people. I took the Vision to the NJ beaches over the weekend. I started off using the stock beach program. The machine was very stable with no false signals. I was hunting wet sand and into ankle deep water. At one point I did start getting some false signals when the coil would hit the ground or tap something, even the ground. I could still hunt with the machine. Once I got home I was hosing off the coil and rod when my daughter asked if she could try it out. I set the unit up in the coin/jewelry program and went to hand it to her and noticed the unit gave a few false signals. I had originally use the detector in my yard the first day I got it with no issues. After playing a few minutes I realized that if the coil tapped the ground at all it was giving false signals, all with the same settings that ran perfect in my yard previously. I was going to contact White's on Monday but they were closed so Monday night I went out into the yard to give the detector another run and it was much better. The machine would still give a false but not as easily when tapping the coil.
So today I spoke with White's and they said it was probably a bad coil. I am thinking that moisture was getting into it and causing problems. White's told me to stop by my local dealer where I got the unit to arrange to get a replacement. So I stopped by today and they actually replaced it on the spot. I will keep you all posted after the next trip to the shore but maybe some of the issues people are having at the beach could be some of the same problems.
