    the v3i is a very good machine that has some great features and your right it will be some time before you ever out grow that one. i'll ask Lowjiber (John) to pm you about sending a copy out to you Chris.

    Welcome from western MA. I spent a year in O'fallon back in the 80's. I also am swinging a V3i, going into my 3rd year. It's a great machine and I am still learning it but I will say that the my finds have increased each year. Right now I am basically running in the HighPro program, its great. Looking forward to your future posts.

    P.S. Keep reading about the V3i, I always am getting new information.

    Welcome from a Missouri-born guy from southern Nevada.


    The Book of Jack should be in your email box now. If not, please advise.



    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    Re: new here

    Welcome to the forum. As a new V3i owner myself I find the machine awesome and a little bit overwhelming. It's capabilities are fantastic. It's programs are good and can be changed easily without fear. Book of Jack is good. Also, if you haven't god it already, contact Mary at White's customer service for a copy of their V3i Advanced User's Guide.

    I have been told their are a couple of users here in CT that will be more then happy to advise me about the V3i. I hope to meet them when the weather breaks. Hopefully you will also have someone in your area with experience.

    Good hunting in the Show Me state. Looking forward to your finds.
