Hello again to all at Sweet Home,

My name is Matt M. and I'm in my 5th year with the DFX. I've started the year off with a bang here in Michigan. I went downstate for the weekend to my brothers house to do some detecting and we found a construction site on Michigan avenue, and the one find I got for the day was the oldest coin I've ever pulled out yet. I am told it is a 1740-1745 King George british coin. It has a bullet hole through the center which is what I believe makes this find so historic. After help with research from a friend I learned of the Massacre at River Raisin which is a historic battle of the War of 1812 between British troops and American troops fighting by River Raisin. From what I read online, lots of American soldiers were executed wrongly and this brought quite an upcry from the Kentuckian troops and the northeastern territories to come to aid to the American cause.

In closing I believe this coin was shot sometime during the war of 1812 as a angry example to the British. We will never know for sure, but In my mind i believe this is why it is shot through the center where King George is pictured. Thanks again for a great machine Whites!

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you about some results with my XLT and new Bigfoot coil. I recently purchased a Bigfoot coil and was excited to try it out. Not only was it lightweight, but I was able to set my sensitivity a little higher than usual. Anyway, on my first trip out with it I found a U.S. Dragoon button (pretty rare for south alabama). All my detecting buddies had a fit over it. No one they knew had ever found one. I called John Collins at Whites, who sold me the coil, and told him my story. He told me to send in a picture and a short story. Well,a week went by and I had forgot all about it, until I went hunting Saturday morning. That was the day I found my first Confederate button! Turns out it was a South Carolina State button, about 80% gilt still intact. After researching on the net, I figured it's worth at about 250-300 dollars. If you think my buddies had a fit over my dragoon, you should have seen how long they spent in my field on Sunday! Needless to say, my XLT, Bigfoot, and buttons, are the talk of town.

Thanks,
Mike C.

Greetings,

I'm an Italian detectorist. A couple of months ago I bought a White's Matrix M6 from an Italian dialer. I started to use it applying what I had seen in your videos available on your site. I started to find some coins and some trash too (pull tabs and so on). I love this machine: always precise regarding pinpoint and lcd screen. Just a week ago I decided to scan a little park close to my home. After a few sweeps I saw a clear signal of a quarter on the lcd. Usually when I find coins the value and the symbols bounce a little due to the difference between american and european coins. But this time the signal and the symbol were fixed and steady. Pinpoint, about 4 inches, dug out...and WOW: a real nice 1932 quarter. I kept on sweeping in the area and after a while BAM! another fix & steady signal: 5C! Dug out and I found 1943 five cent. At the end of the morning the result was:
1932 quarter
another quarter (can't read the year)
1943 five cents
1930 and 1923 dime
a Winchester 45 bullet

I don't know if they have a value or not, but they were IN ITALY!!! I live in Grosseto (about 80 miles south of Florence) and after a search I found that during WWII, the park I visited was an american camp (mess hall, rest room and so on). It's so curious that a machine made in USA, arrived in Italy, could have found another piece of the SA.

I just wanted to share this feeling with you.

Happy hunting
Alessandro

To the wonderful people at Whites,

There is just one word that sums up my Matrix M6... A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! My great hunting buddies chris, kyle, kirk and I have been able to locate an old fort site in central PA. It was used during the revolutionary war period. There are 2 farm fields located on this property. We have all been getting colonial coppers, a spanish reale, nice buttons and relics.

My M6 was able to unearth the oldest colonial coin to date from the old fort site. With some of the details still present and the bust facing right, along with the vdi reading the matrix gave me, we determinded that it was a british farthing dated around 1690. In the picture it is shown to the right of a real nice 1864 2 cent peice found in around the same location.

Once again the Matrix just keeps proving itself. Thanks for providing your customers with such outstanding equipment in the great world of treasure hunting.

I am new to the hobby and stopped over at the local White’s dealer in West Florida where I live. The salesmen were friendly, informative and most of all knowledgeable about your products.

The two salespeople at Famous Treasures showed me your entire White’s line of products they carry and went over each one thoroughly. The one they stated would be the best for the type of detecting and the price range I was interested in, was the White’s M6.

I went out to a local park the next day and besides the typical modern coins which I knew I would be finding, I pulled up a beautiful BUDDHA, 14” deep, 20 feet from shore at low tide. The brass idol had a sealed bottom which when opened contained what appear to be a prayer scroll and some sort of herb or incense. The object appeared to have been gold plated at one point.

The next trip to that site I managed to locate what appeared to be the housing for the BUDDHA.

What a surprise to find! All I can say is thanks White’s for a Detector that lives up to all that is said about it. As stated above, the salespeople knew your product and put me in the money.

I was so impressed, I have now returned to their shop and purchased your Beach Hunter model for further water hunting.

Thanks White’s,

Vincent
