White's makes the history channel.

During the last 10 to 14 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to assist the National Park Service with archeological studies. To do these we have been able to relic hunt on National Parks only.

Some of the sites that I participated in the digs were: Shiloh, Stones River, and Battery Robinette in Corinth. The Southeast Archeological Center and Chattanooga Area Relic and Historical Association have worked on several sites in addition to these. I could only attend these digs because of logistics.

 

Anyway, the History Channel heard about us and what we do. They decided to make a documentary film on their series "The History Channel -- Battlefield Detectives -- Shiloh". We were all invited back to the Shiloh area to meet with a bunch of folks from England, who were going to do the film. There was one section of the film, where they wanted to film one person digging a relic. They were looking around at all the different detectors and picked the White's DXF of mine. There were plenty of the T_______ and even the factory rep. with the F_____ brand there. But, the director of the film, picked the DXF by appearance only. This didn't sit very well with the F_____ guy, but "that's the breaks".

I was flattered to be on the TV show and have enjoyed my DXF tremendously. I have recently purchased a new MXT and will soon purchase another MXT for my two sons. There will be other stories in the future about our hunts.

I hope this is appropriate. I will include a link to the website where you can get a copy of the movie and a link to our club website. Both have pictures and articles of our digs.
