White's,

I would like to personally thank you for many successful years of Civil War Relic hunting and my recent find of a lifetime. After many top end units over those years, its White's, and the XLT, that I regard as "The Best".

Versatility, productivity, and raw power is what's needed to be successful in this hobby, and White's has always brought that to the table...and more. Like the "Fun factor", product durability, and great customer service from out branched dealers.

On the day of this great find, I was "cherry pickin" an extremely trashy area (modern + camp trash) in a Union Infantry encampment, that had scared off many previous relic hunters. Thanks to the adjustability of the Spectrums...not just bells and whistles... my XLT was earning her keep as usual, plucking out a handful of Union 69 caliber bullets. Then a signal with a slightly lower VDI # pops up on the screen and 6 inches down, below and surrounded by trash signals, lays the centerpiece of my collection. I had recovered a silver washed pewter I.D. Disc (dog tag) of a Union Infantry soldier of the 115th Pennsylvania Volunteers. This day I will remember forever. The day of recovering a complete musket rifle in the same camp, at the depths of 3 feet from a camp latrine, is a whole other story, I did mention raw power right ?

Respectfully,
Dave
