Good video brother. I have a friend, he’s 76, he’s been using and selling whites machines since the late 60s early 70s. His MXT all pro is still his go to machine. He has an outstanding collection for our area from over the decades, extending back to the late 1680’s. His whites machines discovered an early French tradeing post in the midwest. He has never used any other brand ever. Like Tesoro, sad to see them go.
I actually have had a couple XLT's back in the days. The XLT was the first digital detector I owned. Very expensive detector back then. Parts are harder to get now for those older machines.
My first White's machine back in 1998 was a IDX PRO. I used that machine for 12 years before i was able to afford a MXT e-series. By then they had come out with the MXT PRO machine. I purchased the e-series and the 10x12 FEF coil. I used that coil and then i purchased my 4x6 shooter DD coil. I found my first beautiful class ring by a basketball court with my 4x6 coil. That 4x6 was a deadly coil. Thank you White's for giving me such a wonderful start to my metal detecting journey. 😊
Nice Tribute, those analog machines are the ones that cleaned house back in the day some of the vintage pictures of hunters have massive hauls using the machines, I still mess around with the older ones there fun to use. good luck out there.
I have more older Whites machines just didn't have time to drag them all out. Those ol' timers wrecked shop in the 80's with those heavy big boxes. The Eagle spectrum still works great but is so heavy I could only swing for a couple hours and I am done for the day.
Thanks for the video! I ordered the Garrett whites tribute machine . Its everything i wanted. Its the 24k for gold prospecting. I think you may like it too. Ive been detecting off and on for 40 years. Im mo where you expertise so i would love to get your take on that machine.
You might be able to find a Coinmaster for under $100. The Simplexes have taken over most sales in the industry. All other detectors are at half price for the last 6 months and still not selling.
What a beautiful bunch of detectors! Thank you for sharing. I’m still rocking a 6000 Di pro. Love the analogs and I’ve had great success for over 30 years with White’s. So sad they went out of business.
Just about every video on UA-cam about metal detecting has the people using a Minelab Equinox. I think the Equinox machines by Minelab and the Nokta Simplex are cornering the market right now. Hope Whites makes a come back. I love my M6. Great machine and easy to use. Goes deep. Love Tesoro machines also. Hated to see Tesoro close.
Nice collection. I have got a few White's machines too. The last 4 are mint condition. I still use 3 of them occasionally. I have the Bigfoot coil that I use on the Eagle II. It is amazing how good that setup is..............1956 Oremaster Super Geiger Counter 1966 Goldmaster 66 TR 1969 Coinmaster IV 1970's Made for Sears, Endorsed by Ted Williams 1989 Coinmaster 6000 DI series 3 1989 6000 DI Pro 1990 Goldmaster Vsat 1990 Eagle II 1990 Surfmaster II
Nice collection there! But you didn't have my machine. I have a White's Spectrum XLT that I bought brand new back in 1996 when I was 24 years old. That thing cost a hefty penny back then! I only used it off and on until 1998 or 1999 I was the youngest hobbyist walking down at the beach back then. It has been stored and not powered up until yesterday, (June 7, 2022) I honestly forgot how to use it since it's been so long. The box looks pristine as it's covered in a fabric protector. I also have the White's Bullseye pointer. OK< believe it or not the 9V battery from the late 1990's still works! I kid not. Faintly but it does. I don't know how that's even possible. And no kidding about that connector! 1:54 Wow! It would be at home connecting into a multiple amp circuit. And just a few days ago I found out that White's Electronics is no more. The archrival company from Texas bought them.
When I was 5 I had a cheap Radio Shack detector, and found junk. Around 3rd grade the school bus would pass Geoquest Metal Detectors in N.j., and I promised myself to get a good detector there someday. That someday turned into a Whites Spectrum XLT. For over 25 years it more than paid for itself. Sad to see Whites go.
Your collection is quite impressive🙌 7 years ago I bought my first metal detector off craigslist, the WHITES Blue Max 800 for $75. It is still the only detector I own and it has not let me down. I love it so much.❤
I picked up a whites dfx 3 series today with the whites pin pointer for $30 today at a yard sell last week I got a pioneer 101 metal detector for $20 all work
Bought my IDX back in 1999.. found great stuff but sadly fell out of the hobby. Keep hoping to get back as I approach the possibility of retirement. Sad to read about Whites. I would've liked to buy a Modern machine.
Awesome video! You are very knowledgeable on these detectors. Hoping you can help me out i would really appreciate it. What coils are compatible with the eagle spectrum. Any info is appreciated.
There is so many different coils from different manufacturers for the Spectrum/XLT. NEL and Detech make many coils. 7" DD coils are amazing for depth and separation.
Way back in the latw 90s I had a White's Classic III and 6000 DI Pro and my Dad bought the Spectrum when it came out. I wouldn't object to using the 6000 today despite modern detectors would be lighter and easier to swing.
You should have mentioned what the trigger do on the MXT because i have no idea lol In 2012 i had a shitty detector, like amazon soecials of today, didnt even know how to use it not sure if it had discrimination or not, id love to find it if its still kicking around in the garage, only took it to the beach once, i found 75 cents only, took it on my property and trails around me just found iron tractor parts and a log splitter, didnt catch the bug Maybe 2021 i started getting into coin collecting and coin roll hunting, in 2023 i was seeing old silvers people were finding with detectors, so i talked to someone about which detectors were good He basically said the vanquish or the simplex plus, so i got the simplex, it arrived late march or early april 2023, and thats when i caught the detecting bug
Hi all could anyone answer my question I have a dfx spectrum e series and I need a new battery holder the plastic bit are they still available or not many thanks John in the uk
I don’t think this is over for whites electronics personally I almost think (not as an expert) that whites might soon be brought to you by first Texas products (total speculation) I personally think that some of there most advanced models vx3 and v3i for instance were actually too advanced for the majority of users the detectors were aimed at during the era they were released and that was back then and then the Mx sport cracked screen water leak issues all companies have had there hallmark flops but some of there models will go down as units that set the industry standard in not only performance but by far durability father in law has a mxt all pro finds silver all the time and a 1793 copper cent
you are an engineer-why don't you make them ,make a couple of improvements patent it and sell too the public -they are great units@@PaystreakSuperfreak
I have never owned a pulse induction machine. I have used them in the past but the PI machines are very battery hungry. Good for gold but coins and relics not so much.
interesting video. I have spectra whites vx3. A good device. Despite the fact that it’s morally outdated. Weight, Concept. I want v3i. Maybe someday. It will turn out to buy cheap.
I'm sad that after I paid child support all good metal detectors are defunct. I prefer dials to buttons,........I like the Trigger on my MXT,.....and no buttons on my screen,......and the pictograph,..... and it locates the black sand. But I wish they still made tesoros too. Whites were great machine's,.... but like all companies there was too many people in management,... that why they were so expensive.
your collection missed all the machines from GEB to 3900 4900 5500 5900 6000 xl pro. what you have there is a collection of new 1980s up digital machines that now don't work well with all the rf microwave wifi electromag interference, unless you're in a deserted place. the best Whites were the 5000 5900 6000, xl pro, xlt, mxt
Gonna miss Whites.
Was so hoping they were gonna catch up. Great tribute.
With you man. Same for Tesoro. If only the boys had the interest to carry their Dad's legacy into the 21st Century, using advanced digital techno.
Thank You. V3I can still do a few things other detectors can't. I'm still a White's guy down deep inside!
V3i can do many many things other detectors cannot. Whites spared no expense with the Spectra V series detectors
I bought my first Heath kit machine in 1965 & A radio shack machine in 1967. All coins back then was silver and a ton of Ring's ECT. I'm 79 years old.
I had a friend who built a heath kit. He was a nerd like me
Grew up digging civil war relics with a White's, and own 2 out here in Colorado, will always be using a White's detector! Carry on the legacy!!!

I have had so many Whites's machines it is hard to see them close the doors. I just live 30 miles from the factory.
My first Barber dime was with a Whites XLT Spectrum.1913 S at 8” deep!Love that machine!
I actually have had a couple XLT's back in the days. The XLT was the first digital detector I owned. Very expensive detector back then. Parts are harder to get now for those older machines.
I have 6 Whites machines. My MX7 with a large Detech coil, is my go to machine. I was heartbroken when I heard that they closed their doors.

I've got a Whites GMT goldmaster. Still sad they went out of business. Glad that Garrett was able to buy them out, at least.
I love Whites metal detectors. I have a V3I, (4) DFX, XLT. I will surely miss these detectors.

I bought my first White's in 1972
I loved my Whites detectors. I liked that they didn't sound like R2D2.
I've got a Eagle 2 SL, got it when it first came out, still going strong, been wanting to upgrade it but still works fantastic!
Im surprised you didnt have the 6000vdi . Great machine .It was quite heavy but became part of me.

I am going to repurchase a maroon coinmaster. It was my very first detector. 2 9v batteries and I had no idea what I was doing!

Yard sells and flea markets are a good spot to look for some to flip . But I live on the cost
I have the mx sport. Love it. However my stock coil quit working and now all i have is the 7 inch detech coil. Really miss my stock coil.

Glad it was helpful!
How did the fine-tuning dial work on the coin master?
I have the old eagle
Eagle was a good one!!
Hi all could anyone answer my question I have a dfx spectrum e series and I need a new battery holder the plastic bit are they still available or not many thanks John in the uk
You can find them on ebay
Ever now and then there's 3D printed versions that take three rechargeable Li-ion cells. Keep searching.
That 3rd machine the coinmaster was large enough to pack a lunch in.
I run a Spectrum xlt and a Tesoro Lobo Super Trac both work great, sad both companies are done....Nox 800 will be the next
My friend uses Tesoro still and finds some killer stuff. Parts will be tougher to find for those machines in a few years. The 800 is a good machine.
What about the DFX?

So sad.. Whites employed some great Engineers..
Whites Electronics is just a few miles away from me. I wish the TRX was still being produced!!
Is there any where around that we as whites owners can get parts. I need the battery box for my VX3.
