If you purchased a White's metal detector and earned accessory code bucks they are no longer valid. I was given 50.00 bucks after a purchase of a MX Sport only to find out that the special is time limited. Oh well, Next time I'll read the fine print and redeem any specials immediately whether or not I need anything at the moment. Update I called White's and explained to them I didn't need anything at the moment and they took care of me. Great company for machines and customer service. Thanks White's Electronics.

Does it come with a crystal ball?

Hope you love HEAT! My son was just in Dubai and said it was the hottest most humid place on earth! Good luck

Control and cash that's what they want. They don't want you to stir up the PCB'S in the water under the silt from transformer factories.

Serious gold fever! Save up for a small Kubota backhoe! I love this dude.

Got my MX Sport back today sens goes to (10 Boost) That what the screen says! Unfortunately returned minus the headphones and arm strap. I'm sure Mary will take care of it. They must be slamming but the turnaround was same day. In on the 20th out on the 20th. No worries Mary took very good care of me this morning and apologized but didn't have to! Nice people over there at White's

Got my MX Sport back today sens goes to (10 Boost) I probably don't know what I'm talking about now I see it's the SAT I should be looking at. Unfortunately returned minus the headphones and arm strap. I'm sure Mary will take care of it. They must be slamming but the turnaround was same day in on the 20th out on the 20th! Add other things when I take it out.

I will call and talk to the service dept at White's and no I really can't sell it in good conscience if it's not right, I know what that feels like.

White's replaced the coils and they were in spec and V rated.

Let me start by saying I own 3 White's machines. I have had the V3i since 2010 with the 10" DD coil the 6x9 and the 4X6. It never has been a great depth machine for me, but I usually run the stock programs C&J usually I recently sent it to the White's factory for a tune up after poor air testing 6" on a Quarter and I was sure something was fishy. I got it back yesterday and the said two of the 3 coils were out of spec and they replaced them. They told me the coils are still good for use on the DFX, MXT but not the V3i. They also replaced 2 ribbon cables and the screen plastic total reset and calibration.Total cost with return shipping $252. and change, It was very reasonable. The only problem is it didn't change a thing , still poor depth performance in the air and on the ground. No target separation whatsoever, just total masking. I have a test garden and it only sees the quarter barely at 6". My Tesoro Outlaw finds everything in the garden no problem with the 8" coil. When I run custom programs from Magic and Fox it gets slightly better but not consistent. So it's up on Craigslist as I am no longer investing any more time and resources into it. White's service was great and the costs were minimal for the service rendered no issues with that. My other two White's machine are great!

Picked up a new White's Treasure Pro for my wife Carla. Very happy with the quality and simplicity of the unit. For 360.00 shipped you can't go wrong, it's light, has auto ground tracking or lock track, backlight display and a 10"DD coil and takes 2 AA batteries . I was playing with it yesterday and it is pretty impressive. Dime at 7" Quarter at 8" not an issue. And no how do I .......this again from Carla! Every ones happy.

I just sent my MX in and you guys are making me sweat! Steve's correct even cheap computers display their bios revision at boot up.

My wife is the best gold detector known to man. And she finds diamonds too! I just want a simple light machine with a cigar lighter and cup holder.

I found my dearly departed rottweilers lost dog license tag in my backyard yesterday. Dated 2006. I miss him and I knew I would find it someday.

It's hard to find musket balls. You have to pry their legs open!

Agreed, I just picked up a used Tesoro Vaquero and after an hour or so I have begun to "feel it" Whole new world without a visual aspect but I think I'm going to like not having to look down so often. I'm picking up a Racer 2 ,MXS, MXT pro this year. and will stick with one. I'm tired of my V3i because I don't hunt enough to remember all the settings. But I would like to have a "keeper". And one for the trunk like the Tesoro just in case I see a spot that looks interesting!

At those depths a sub 100.00 detector would have found those objects!

I only ever owned a White's product. I started in1970 in high school with my 1st machine and tried to "earn" my way up the detector ladder so to speak. The only problem I ever had was a coil that went bad and I got a replacement right away. Let me tell you a little story. I live in Northern NJ and before the interweb there used to be a little metal detector shop called Geoquest on Rt 46 in Saddle Brook NJ. It was owned by a guy named Harry and his wife Leola. His shop had metal detectors hanging all over the place on pegboards. He had piles of them on the floor. Harry was a servicing dealer for White's back in the day. Anyway Harry was a short round man that always wore a shirt that was at least one size too small and the button buttonholes were screaming for mercy! He had display cases crammed with finds from all the local treasure hunters and I was hooked in an instant! Well those things weren't cheap and I could not afford to buy one right away and so I used to go hang out there and see if I could "help" out and maybe learn something. Well after a couple of weeks of being a pain in the a** Harry told me to come in the back and he handed me a machine. It was blue and primer grey weighed like 50 lbs and he told me to get lost for a couple of weeks. I didn't know what to say I was really happy to have a chance at trying this cool new thing. Well back then not many people had metal detectors and the ones that I know lived near the beach. I lived in an old town, Hackensack NJ and it was ripe for the pickin. I just didn't know what the hell to do. My first time out at an old park I most of the time trying to figure out how to tune the machine. I think it had a red button sticking out of the end of the handle to pinpoint with but I'm not sure. I started finding coins, lot's of coins, SILVER COINS!!!!!! They were only worth face value back then or maybe a little more but I was happy. I was doing something nobody else was doing. By the end of the summer I had enough coins to cash in and almost buy a nice middle of the road Whites machine. Harry recommended a Whites machine because he was a servicing dealer and they were very reliable. Harry was a mad scientist! He used to repair down to the component level on the boards and had all kinds of test equipment in his "lab". He used to see common problems like resistors and potentiometers going bad but he actually found weak links in the circuits and changed components to a different value for a permanent fix. Harry taught me lot's of things but the thing that sticks in my head is persistence and education. And how to solder really good! Harry let me have a brand new White's detector and told me to pay for it a little every week when I could. Back then people were trusting and honorable. Your handshake was your contract and bond. I studied HVAC and became an industrial chiller service technician and did well in that trade for 20 years. After that amount of time I wanted to change careers and I became an HVAC instructor at the school I graduated from 20 years before. I actually replaced my retiring instructor and was very proud of myself. I always stopped by Geoquest at least twice a month and took care of Harry's heating and cooling needs for free. Back then that's what you did to payback your debts. Not the monetary ones, the ones that really count the kindness caring ones, the personal ones. Harry's health was failing. He had bypass surgery and was doing well for a few months. The next time I visited Geoquest I had some bagels with a smear of cream cheese for Harry and Leola and coffee. I walked in and Leola looked like she was tortured. She told me that we lost Harry. I thought he was really lost I didn't realize he had died or I just didn't want to believe it. I stayed there the rest of the day helping Leola try and organise the shop and keep her busy but eventually we sat and cried. Harry was gone and Leola had to close the shop. There just wasn't enough money in selling machines to support the bills without Harry. After the store closed I tried to stay in touch with Loela but we never really kept on after the store closed. Harry lived his life with passion. Something most of us will never even realise what passion is. I laid off metal detecting for awhile while raising a family and got back into it about 6 years ago. I bought a White's V3i. I wanted the top of the line and I could afford it, I still can't really operate it well! That same day I got the V I found a 14k mens wedding band in a park. Thank you Harry I miss you.

I get so disgusted with manufactures and people that by no fault of their own sell a defective product. I usually will go back to where I bought the product and if I am within their return policy demand a new product. I just tell them that my money wasn't defective when I bought it! That usually settles it or I tell them I will just call the credit card company, dispute the charge and keep the machine anyway. I hate the feeling of being taken advantage of once the sale is done.
