Hi White's:

I have been hunting with my White's Beach Hunter ID for a year now. This White's machine is awesome on coins and jewelry. I used the Beach Hunter ID at a local lake this past summer. It is owned by TVA. A sanded beach-like area has been built for swimming and sunning. I have permission to hunt this site as a permit is required to hunt this area. We can only hunt the grassy area from October to April, but the water can be hunted all year long. I mount my White's Beach Hunter machine most of the time with the chest mount harness and hunt from knee-deep to chin-deep water with a 5-ft handle sand scoop to retrieve my targets. The bottom is made up of mostly sand with some red clay & rocks as you go farther out. I usually run my White's Beach Hunter ID in the all metal mode with ground setting in the center and sensitivity set at just past the pre-set mark with just a slight audible from the threshold. I check the target signals with the White's Beach Hunter ID 3-lights system and scoop all signals that don't show up in the red light which usually is iron. I am including pictures of the area in the spring and winter when the water is pulled down low. I also found around 600 newer coins on this site from the grass and water. I have a White's MXT that I use for the grassy areas with a Eclipse 3x6 and a 6x6 search coil that work great in trashy and close areas. Thank you White's for these two great machines that you have made and for the outstanding job they do both in the water and out.

Well this weekend I finally did it.

Let me start from the beginning. I have a DFX and still learning to tweak it a bit. My best find up until this point was a 1871 Sitting Liberty half dollar. I was very happy with the coin and my DFX. Several detectorist have gone over the spot where I found it. It took the DFX to uncover it.

But as all of us think, I wanted something older. I kept thinking it would be impossible to beat. Beat I mean by finding something older.

Well today I beat my record (1871) by 80 years. I found a 1791 Spanish 1 Reale in decent shape. At first I had no idea what it was. With a little research I found out the following. Heres a little history on the coin.

Charles the III died and Charles the IV was appointed King in 1788. However due to problems they were unable to make a coin for Charles the IV. So in all there wisdom they added an "I" to Charles III which in turn made the new coin Charles IIII. They kept Charles III picture on the coin until late 1791.

The hole in the coin was used like modern traveller's checks. A traveller would sew or pin several coins into the lining or inside of their jacket, and use them as needed.

The value of 1 Reale is about 12 1/2 cents.

Pretty cool hobby, great equipment, research and all possible because of "WHITES".

Thanks for a great time.

I took a trip to an old seminary here in town built in the 1850's that I've found a seated half dime and an Indian Penny at. I got a nice solid coin hit on my MXT and dug a nice plug and checked the bottom of the hole with my pinpointer and saw silver. Out popped an immaculate 1842-O seated half. I've had my MXT less than 2 weeks and I love it.

I've been fairly fortunate this year in my discoveries however, what you see in the picture before you is one of my favorite. This is a 2000+ year old Bronze Roman Sieve which The British Museum has since informed me is an "archaeologically important find" due to the rarity of the item. I have since handed my Sieve over to the Farmer who granted me digging permission and requested that he pass this along to the local archeologists.

I think the neatest thing about finding this Roman artifact is that I found it on my Birthday and had only been detecting for about an hour before it turned up. I was quite surprised due to the faint signal and the depth at which it was recovered. I truly wish I had my camera with me so everyone could see the 14+ inch deep hole that I dug to recover my Roman Bronze!

With out a doubt I can safely say that I've been tremendously successful with my DFX this year and no other detector has been able to perform like my White's. I would like to say that I've been able to convert some of my detecting buddies to White's however they still seem to have faith in their respective machines. I hope they stick with the inferior detectors because I truly enjoy having the advantage on the field.

Dear White's,

So far in my life, treasure hunting has been a hobby I just can't lay down. Like so many other treasure hunters I have read about, they caught the treasure bug when they were young and went hunting with their dad. This success story is about my dad and how all the treasures I have found don't add up to the fun we used to have in the field.

I realize that most success stories you receive are based on rare and valuable objects. Gold coins, rare relics, Spanish silver and the list could go on forever. Now don't get me wrong, I have found my share of these things with my White's XLT E-Series. I want to talk to you about the treasures you will have spending time with your family with your White's Detector.

My dad introduced me to detecting when I was very young. He had purchased a White's detector from Sears. We spent many hours in the field hunting and as I remember we were very successful. I remember that dad wanted most of all to find a diamond ring. He never found one, but he did recover many class rings, wedding bands and other jewelry. Of course, he found his share of coins and other interesting relics of a time gone by. I remember following him and looking in every hole to see what would pop out next.

As I got older, married and had a child of my own, I thought back to those times spent with my dad in the field and decided to purchase a White's XLT. Wow, is all that can be said of this amazing machine! I started making finds everywhere! I began as a coin shooter but after my first American Civil War relic popped out of the ground, I was hooked. I have always been interested in this era and have now spent many diligent hours searching fore those forgotten campsites along the Wilderness Road, which I so luckily live near.

My most recent find was a Quarter Eagle in almost perfect condition dated 1851. Found in a campsite occupied by federal troops during the early part of the war. WOW, GOLD!!! I also found in this same field three half dimes, a late 1800's love token and a 1879 Morgan Dollar. I also found numerous dropped mini balls, round balls, and a U.S. cartridge box plate. The ability that the XLT has to discriminate out the trash and leave the relics is unbelievable. Combined with the large coil I purchased for the White's XLT, it makes a relic hunting machine that I can say can't be matched!

Since purchasing my new detector, my dad has found renewed interest in detecting and now that he is retired hopefully we can find some more of that family treasure we shared so many years ago. IF this is what you are looking for I recommend you contact your nearest White's dealer!

Thank you!
