Dear White’s,

Just wanted to share with you a first for me, I went out scouting for cellar holes hitting a bunch of dirt roads in my area. After an hour or so on this dirt road it kind of choked up so I had to turn around the first spot I could. As I was pulling away I saw a cellar hole right in front of me wow, now the blood starts pumping!

Happy as a lark, I start detecting after 5 minutes or so I get a solid 88v.d.i at 8 1/2 inches so I dig, and dig. I start checking the hole with the bullseye II and out pops a large cent, Sweet I go back over the hole and again 88 V.D.I, I stuck the bullseye II in again and another large cent! It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Thanks White’s,

Chris from Ct.

White’s,

I wanted to write you and let you know that I have found two Buckles and to my surprise this nice Georgia frame buckle came to light almost after 146 years in the ground. Not long after that and very near to where I dug the Confederate buckle, the New York buckle showed up! I looked and looked for the S, but to no avail. One good thing about this spot both sides are coming out of the ground.

All this was found using my MXT with the new D2 coil I purchase last month. It works like a charm and is good for working the highly hot ground that I hunt here in Virginia. I have been a White’s user for many years and have to say this is one of the top coils that has come out. Thanks White’s for making a great detector and coil.

To all White's readers,

Many people have the misconception that because their town isn't very old, a metal detector isn't really worth owning. This story should give some insight as to how wrong they really are!

I am from the small midwest town of Cass Lake, Minnesota. Cass Lake being barely over 100 years old still has some history behind it. It started out as a logging and railroad town, and had its own railroad round house. At one time, it was considered a railroad "hub" because of its round house, as it directed various trains to different locations in North America. Like many other small towns of the day, it had it's share of old hotels, saloons and even brothels. The beautiful lakes in the area also spawned dozens of local resorts that have been around for many decades. Many options for treasure hunting here!

I have been treasure hunting Cass Lake for nearly 10 years with my trusty White's 6000/Di Pro SL, and it continues to find me valuable treasure that I can be proud of. This past summer's hunting (2008) was no different, and proved to be even better than I expected! Over the past summer, Cass Lake needed to replace aging septic and water lines in the old downtown area and decided to do a "face lift" while they were at it. Their improvements were to include decorative sidewalks and street lights. Many of the old original downtown building structures still existed. Knowing that cement sidewalks were just an upgrades from wooden planks that towns used to use so people wouldn't have to walk in the mud, I grabbed my 6000/Di Pro and took full advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity - and did it ever pay off!

Preserved under those old cement sidewalks was a nice handful of very old money! (See attached photo) The best of the finds was an 1867 Indian penny worth $50 and a 1908 Barber half dollar that sold for $80!

Just because your town may only be about 100 years old, don't sell it short for having good treasure to be found!

Dear White's,

I have been metal detecting since I was 13 in 1994. I've always had fun doing it, but a little over a year ago I decided to upgrade to a more modern detector, but didn't want to compromise the simplicity I was used to in my other metal detector. After a lot of research, I decided to purchase a White's M6 from a local White's dealer. The learning curve was very minimal, and I was out finding things right away.

I was surprised at how deep this detector went, and it wasn't unusual for me to find coins in areas I had hunted previously with my older detector. Specifically, my silver coin count soared through the roof, and my hunting partners have taken note, and some of them have purchased White's detectors as well.

One friend of mine bought a White's XLT and has also experienced what I have- an increased number of older, deeper coins and relics. Another friend of mine bought his young son a White's Prizm 2, and on his first outing, found a silver Roosevelt dime!

Enclosed is a photo of the contents of an early coin spill I recently recovered using my White's M6. The coins were about 8 inches deep, mostly under a tangle of thick roots at the base of a huge tree. The coins consist of a 1900 Barber half dollar, 1918 mercury dime, 1883 and 1907 Indian head cents, 1907 V nickel, 1918 buffalo nickel, and some assorted early wheat cents. It was exciting pulling out coin after coin from this one hole!  One of my hunting partners filmed the entire event and we share the video all of our friends.

Thank you for making quality detectors at great prices. I will always count on White's to provide the best treasure-hunting equipment AND excellent customer service.

Dear White’s Electronics,

Almost 3 years ago a friend of mine got me involved in metal detecting. At the time, he suggested I buy a Garrett 250 which I did, he had a White’s. I started to find coins at the beaches and some other items in fields, but he always found more of both everywhere we went, even when I found none.

After almost 2 years, I decided to buy another Garrett, a more expensive one, this time it was a Garrett 1350. It was a better machine but not as good as my friends. He still beat me hands down. He kept finding all kinds of things even after I scanned those areas. It was kind of disappointing.

One day my luck changed and I won a brand spanking new, out of the box, White’s Prizm 6T at a raffle. The very first time that I used it, I found a silver necklace and a silver Tiffany’s and Co. ring. I was very impressed and happy with my new machine.

I also began to scan areas that I previously scanned with my Garrett and started to find targets that I missed before. It’s incredible, the lightness, the simplicity of the controls and the accuracy of the pinpointer. Now I can compete with my friend.

Thank you White’s for making such a product, I love it!
