Dear White's,

First, I have to congratulate you on a great piece of technology in the DFX. My family bought one for me on Fathers Day after seeing one of your commercials on TV. I'm glad they bought a DFX!. White's has not only the best performing, but also the best looking, machines on the market.

My 10 year old daughter and I started out hunting a couple of the local school yards to practice and see what we could unearth. After finding quite a bit of clad and a few "wheaties", we were hopelessly hooked! The real thrill came when we found this 1920 Illinois Chauffeur badge. It was out in the middle of the schoolyard, at a depth of about 8 inches. I heard a faint tone and thought I should probably dig it, even though I was still learning what I was seeing on the Signagraph. After cleaning it up a bit, we contacted the State of Illinois to research the tag number and received a reply with the former owners name and address (located in the City of Chicago). We were unable to successfully locate any next of kin, but at least we could put a name to the item. The same day we also found the Chicago Motor Club safety award. It was in a different part of the field, at about the same 8 inch depth. Some quick research showed that it is also from the mid to late 1920's. How these made it into the field is a mystery, but I'm glad we found them when we did (the city built a new school on the field this year).

Wherever we go, if we see or hear someone talking about an old home or such, my daughter and I turn to each other and whisper "let's go metal detecting!"

Thank you, White's, for a healthy hobby that is not only fun, but stimulates the mind and helps make memories!

Sincerely,
Kevin and Kaitlin S.
