Please visit to learn why each year we are one of White's Southeast Region's (MS, AL, FL, and GA) top three dollar volume dealers. We earn this position by being knowledgeable about the equipment and the hobby, having very competitive pricing, and by providing accurate experienced based answers both before and after the sale. Our goal is to match you with the best machine for the type of detecting you want to do, that current cash flow allows. No high pressure! We will be pleased to demonstrate any machine we offer from the PRIZM III up to the exciting new Spectra V3 introduced March, 2009. |
Receive a FREE COPY of the book, Metal Detecting For Beginners, How To Get Started Correctly when you purchase a metal detector from us. This is the same $14.95 book featured in White's catalog and was authored by me, Ed Tisdale, your Southwest Florida White's Electronics dealer. Another reason to buy from Family Hardware, "they wrote the industry's leading book about how to become successful in the hobby". |

We are open seven days a week. Mon-Sat 7-6, and Sunday 9-3. We set up and test every detector we sell and teach the purchaser to be reasonably proficient in its use even before reading the manual! We also offer metal detector rentals for finding property stakes or lost jewelry in areas where we cannot find you an experienced volunteer. Yes, we offer a·metal detecting search service·to benefit the Cape Coral Police Departments "Do The Right Thing" program which rewards area youth for making right decisions and doing the right thing. |
The new White's Spectra V3 has gained the reputation of being able to handle difficult ground conditions such as wet salt sand, highly mineralized iron oxide soil, and mineralization common in gold prospecting areas. In such conditions, a lesser machine may false and chatter, provide very limited target depth, and offer little to no ability to differentiate or cancel out small nuisance iron targets yet signal on small desirable targets such as small gold or small brass buttons. The Spectra V3 has a proven ability to handle difficult ground conditions with good target depth and accurate target ID. |

All we ask is a check donation to the CCPD Do The Right Thing Program regardless of if we recover the item or not.· We ask for a minimum of $25 here in Cape Coral, and $50 (plus any bridge·tolls) for searches in Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, and Sanibel. If you have us search where the item was actually lost, we are almost certain to find it. To date, we have recovered and returned well over $250,000 worth of jewelry and have raised thousands of dollars for the Do The Right Thing Program. |

The Spectra V3 allows the user to select and personalize screens to better identify the target, target size, and target depth using "oscilloscope" type technology. In the analyze mode the three frequency's used are color coded blue, red, or green, allowing the frequency receiving the strongest target reading to show on top of the graph. Once you locate a target, push the trigger forward to access the analyze screen, which provides an estimate of target size and percentage probability of the VDI (Visual Display Indicator) number accuracy, all in real time, instantly, as you sweep over the target. Then simply pull the trigger to return to normal search mode. |

| The V3 is as simple as "turn on and go" for beginners for high performance, yet offers the ability to "tweak" it's software for even better performance in harsher ground conditions by experienced users.
