bigtim1973 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I tried to call the Sweet Home Oregeon facility. All that happrned was just a recording that kept on replaying over and over. So being an ex Whites dealer I decided to try Whites of the Mid South. Dwight the owner helped me set up my little shop when I got going. Anyways they told me they only had a few units left and they did have a lot of accessories left. I chatted a bit about how sad it was that Whites were no longer. Dwight seems to think the covid mess going on is part to blame. I guess it is possible. I asked them if they were going to pick up another brand and keep on selling metal detectors. They said no. I was surprised by that response. That same facility that is Whites of the Mid South is a Lawn and Garden Coop type place and one of the largest Old Timer knife dealers in the state. I guess being a die hard whites distribution center they do not have the heart to sell another brand. Heck if I were them I certainly would. Anyways....just thought I would share my findings. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these people (cut and pasted from White's website)? I looked up that town -- very NW corner of Alabama (near tri-intersection with Mississippi and Tennessee). I see from above that my state was in their sales area. Does that mean they supplied the local White's dealers, sold direct to customers in that area, or both? I also found a website address but it was no longer supported (i.e. they no longer paid for it so just a stub). I assume that was for the same place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim1973 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes that's it....that is who I called and talked to for a bit. Yes they sold to the public at his shop in Alabama and also was the distribution center for the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
