Dear White's,

I wanted to share a Success Story with you that is very deserving of a mention.

With my previous trips to England while detecting Ancient Coins/Artifacts and digging up pounds of Gold Nuggets at Ganes Greek, AK, I already knew my White's MXT was my #1 detector of choice. So when I heard of the new 12" Super Coil, I realized I had to have one for my next Gold Nugget Hunt.

The coil arrived 2 weeks before my trip and after a quick overview it seemed to be just what I hoped for. A light weight coil that I could swing 8 hours a day and not have my arm fall off. Another added edge is, this coil has approx 30% more Depth and Ground Coverage per sweep and that is exactly what I wanted for Ganes Creek, Alaska and the Trophy Gold Nuggets that are buried beneath. The extra depth and ground coverage is what I hoped would give me the added advantage and edge over the other detectorists at Ganes.

The attached photos show proof of my Success with the White's MXT equipped with a 12" Super Coil. I found 22 nuggets of various sizes and depths. Large, Medium and Small, the 12" Super Coil covered more ground, got more depth and responded to all. I found a couple small rice grain size nuggets of .2 gram, including a few 3/4 oz'ers and even a 1+ oz'er. The depths of some of these beautiful rare and collectible gold nuggets were more than I can imagine. One particular nice nugget was 16" to 18" deep. I have been detecting for over 30 years and can tell you this. Most detectors on the market today would not have found that 1+ oz Trophy Gold Nugget as deep as it was.

My prize of the trip was a vary rare and collectible nugget unlike most in that area. A Once in Lifetime Trophy Specimen Nugget just shy of 2 pounds. As you can see in the photos, it is a gorgeous reddish agate quartz with lines, veins and speckles of yellow gold throughout. The total weight of this museum quality piece is just under 2 pounds. I have showed this rare piece of Natural Beauty to a few Gem/Mineral Collectors and others to get an idea of its value. The price varies some as expected, but a range of $15,000 to $25,000 makes it a true, Once in Lifetime Find for me.

Thanks White's for making such a quality true multi purpose detector (MXT) and backing it up with a top of the line Super Light 12" coil. As the proof in the photos show, this detector/coil combination certainly gave me the advantage and edge to take home the gold.
