Hello everyone. I just wanted to say "Hi" and introduce myself because I will be bugging you guys in the future. My name is Brian Martin, from Oklahoma, and I purchased a "Vision" about a year ago. Even has the "Vision" markings on it. I know it has been replaced only in name as the Spectra V3, and now the V3i, but its nice to have one before the big change happened. I have also recently sent it back to Whites and they did the upgrades and for free. They are a pretty great company. Just cost shipping. Pretty fair I thought. Anyway, I have used some cheaper mds in the past and started using a 5900 Di Pro. I really liked it. I decided I was going to be detecting for the rest of my life and figured I would buy a "really good" machine and bought the V3. I laughed a few times reading some of the posts because I was ready to wrap it around a tree! The the guy at the shop where I purchased it realized it hadn't received the upgrades. I get it back Friday. Just wanted you all to know who was buggin you. Be safe, Brian
