The owner, Allen, got his White's Metal Detector back in 1971 and has been detecting ever since. The largest 1 day find has been 1056 coins and 8 pieces of jewlery in an 8 hour period. The largest single find was $800.00 in a jar and the largest gold nugget was 5.56 ounce. This is a great hobby and it can be very rewarding also, known as the hobby that will "pay for itself".
