Dear Whites,

This year has been a good one for me and the DFX. I've had great success finding coins and relics. One of my best coins this year has to be this beautiful 1901 barber half dollar. The story goes like this. After detecting one of my old cellar holes for a few hours and only coming away with a few old plain buttons and a 1859 indian head penny (in very poor shape), I decided to call it quits on this particular spot. Instead of heading straight toward my truck, I decided to go across the road and walk along an old stone wall. Well, apparently a barn used to stand in this area and alot of trash had been dumped over the years. Beer cans, junk iron and shotgun shells were abundant but I refused to just shut the machine off just because of all of the junk. Then about twenty or so feet from the truck I hear a pretty good tone ring out amongst all the junk signals. Tone ID is a great feature I must say. I pinpointed it at six inches. By this time I'm thinking an old large cent, so I dig about 4 inches then use my handheld pinpointer to locate the target. I then grabbed a handful of dirt and saw a gray disk in the middle. The feeling I got when this barber came out of the hole was great. I couldn't believe the condition it was in. I am very pleased that this detector could lock onto a coin in all that junk and still make it sound good enough for me to want to dig it. Way to go Whites!

Sincerely yours,
Danny L.

Hello! My name is Tony C. and I have been metal detecting for three years now. It is the best hobby that I have. It is always a surprise when you dig up something rare.

In October of 2006 I was on a farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We were looking for civil war relics when I came across a very faint signal. When I started to dig, I wasn't really sure what I would find. Well, let me tell you, the deeper I dug, the louder the signal got. After digging about 20 inches down, I saw it! It was a live shankle shell! I was so excited as were the other people around me.

I have been using the Classic ID since I first started and I think it is a great machine. I would recommend it to anyone. Please see the attached pictures. I have found many items since I started metal detecting with my Classic ID. Thanks, Whites for a great product!

Dear White's,

During Thanksgiving weekend, we traveled to Tennessee to do some relic hunting during the downtime of the holiday. The location we went to is actually my parent-in-law's property and I'd found numerous Civil War finds there before. I took along my recently purchased White's XLT and my White's 120mm Pinpointer for the hunt.

On the first day of hunting, I was lucky enough to find 2 Eagle General Service Buttons, both of which were about 5-6 inches in depth. One of the buttons has a root that has grew through the shank of the button. Pretty unique find.

The next day, November 24th, I woke up early and went outside at sun rise. There was still frost on the ground from the previous night. I start scanning an area near a very old Cedar Tree. My first target rang in +80-+87 on the XLT's VDI. After pinpointing it with the machine, I started to dig my hole. The machine had said it was about 4 inches down. Once I got to that depth, I checked the hole with my White's 120mm Pinpointer. The target was at the bottom of my hole, 4 inches down. I knew it had to be something good! After digging around the target, I slid my digger underneath it, and it popped right out of the hole. I picked up the piece of metal, and it just happen to be a C.S.A. Belt Plate with all 3 hooks still intact on the back of the plate.

After doing a little research on the plate and finding out just how rare it is, we looked back over our research for the area that the in-laws live on. On November 24th, 1863, there was a skirmish at this exact property. I just happened to find it on the same day, 143 years later.

My BEST find ever! You can't beat a White's detector!

Dear Sir,

My name is Lee L. I live in Perry Illinois. My friend and I both use Whites detectors. Our dealer is Rhodes Detectors in Augusta Illinois. We sure love your detectors. I have a Classic IDX and my friend Aaron just bought a Prizm V. We both have found some tremendous items. Soon, I am upgrading to a DFX. We are diehards. Anyway, Aaron was detecting an old town in our area today, an early 1900s house, with his Prizm. He was hunting around an old tree, the detector went off on a very loud hit. It was so big around, he almost didnt dig it up. He got down to 8 inches and checked the pile, no hit. Checked the hole, went off still. Took some more dirt out. At the bottom of the hole, he saw a bunch of silver discs. When he was done, he had pulled out various denominations circa 1940s grocery store tokens. At one time, they were all in an old yelow dish that he found broken nearby. Anyway, thought you would like this story for posting. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,
Lee L.

Dear Whites,

I wanted to take a moment and share with you a find that I made last weekend while searching an old home site in Southern New Hampshire. I'd only worked the property about a half hour when I got a 50cent reading at 7.5 inches on my XLT. After digging the plug I saw a greenish disk sitting at the bottom of the hole. I've dug a fare share of George Coppers and Large Cents in this area, but every time I dig one, I get just as excited as the first!

After lightly cleaning the dirt away I stood there with my mouth wide open...saying out loud "no way....NO WAY"!!! This is my first 1795 Liberty Cap Cent, and my only from that series....still can't believe it! She's a little worn and porous...but in great shape for being in the ground for 200 years!

She's of the smooth edge variety and still has nice detail on most of the coin...but the date is tough to read without a magnifying glass...still a great addition to my collection!

Thanks to Whites for putting out such terrific machines!

Sincerely,
Hank E.
