Dear Whites,

My wife Patti bought a Prizm V metal detector as a Christmas gift for me this year. I had never used a metal detector before, so I didn't know what to expect. After waiting for a break from the rain, I set out with Patti and my friend Steve (who has years of experience with metal detectors) for my first treasure hunt. We picked out a couple camp sites along a river away from the crowds. This seemed like a good spot to find a few coins and learn how to use my Prizm V. Steve brought along a few items such as a nail, various coins, and jewelry to get a feel of how the metal detector reacted to different targets.

We then took off with metal detectors in hand look for treasures. I immediately started finding coins and of course many pull tabs (which I could have discriminated, but decided not to). Within an hour, I got a strong high tone signal that indicated a depth of 4 - 6 inches. I carefully dug, checked for the signal, and dug some more. Sure enough at about 5 inches down I found a 14K white gold wedding band. My eyes got as big as the ring as I pulled it out from the dirt - my first treasure. Needless to say that I am now hooked.

Thanks to Whites for making a quality metal detector that is easy to use (and thanks to my wife for a great Christmas gift),

Charlie, WA
