Gentlemen Steve is correct on a lot has been said here about White’s . I’d say we have express the good the bad and with some indifference. I started detecting with White’s in 66 so you can see that I’ve been at it for a long time. I wish I could leave this world with a White’s detector laying next to me and a smile on my face knowing that. If I could find a lamp with a genie in it I hope for one wish. White’s it would be for you at one day you will be number one again detector company. Chuck

I hope out there somewhere is a person from White’s reading every single post . I for one want to see White’s around for a long long time. The trouble reading most post here that may not be due to what was Express. It will be a sad day to read on a tombstone saying Rest In Peace White’s . Chuck

Khouse My cup run over with being I’m on my second wife . I’ve have 5 kids and two just got married in 2018 but I already have nine grandkids. Now I’ve said this before here about the guy next door has been married 10 times. With all the wife’s he just had two kids . Nobody ever told me about the birds and Bees .The only thing I knew was birds sing and Bees made honey. Chuck

If they could find gold at all it wouldn’t be any gold left in the world for us with detectors . Now if you believe in them PM me and I’ll pay shipping for you to send your Minelab to me. Chuck

I see so many people wanting to up the voltage. I know by doing so also improves sensitivity and overall performance. Maybe someone can tell me why didn’t White’s do the same. My thinking is less load on the electronics makes the detector last longer. At the same time the detector will have a better chance of making it through the warranty . Here’s another can of worms I’ve opened up. Chuck

Mn90503 Thanks for posting info . I just wish they could just concentrate on what they doing and keep their nose out of someone’s else’s butt. At the same time stop their bitching . Hell if I wanted to hear that I just have to turn the TV off . I just want to know how much gold they getting and how they going about it. Years back I was there and I wrote a article for GPAA . I made a note saying on how a nugget could hide behind a grain of sand . I been back to Alaska but not to that far north. Chuck

Khouse Old dog trying to hunt ! I see your vision is still good. Chuck

It always comes back just to you and a gold pan . I love dredging and I’ve done a fair amount of high banking but I find it to be more work than I like . The trouble is when the day is over there’s that gold pan waiting on you. Chuck

The TV just said Bering Sea Gold coming in September 17th if I heard correct on the date . I look to see what day that landed on and shows Tuesday. That can’t be correct because it’s always on Friday. Get back later when are If I hear it again. Chuck

Phrunt I’d let you rub my head and make a wish and they may come out with a PI soon. They have so much coming out the door so I say why not. The reason I said rub my head is lamps with a genie in it is hard to find anymore. Chuck

Jim I’d have to say you were a lucky one. That first detector the BFO I had trouble with it . It went in three times and when they sent me a new one that got it fixed. Then I had the 66 TR and I gave that to a friend when I bought the Eagle 2 . Here years later both still working and never had trouble. When the TDI came out I got one of the first of two hundred. It worked great at first then went south. After the third time of not fixing the problem I got a new one . I wasn’t happy so I sold it . Best to you Jim. Chuck

Hi Jim I got the Sport as soon as they hit the market. The first thing I found out was trouble with the programming that White’s used . I called them up said send it in . I don’t remember how much time had past and I got it back with nothing done. Yes that’s right same program. A dealer gave me another number to call but I didn’t know that it was a distributor . I told them my problem and I must say they very nice and wanted to do anything they could to help me. They said they would have to call White’s to give me another detector. I sent my Sport to them and here came a new Sport with the same problem. This time I made sure I had White’s and again I sent it in . The sky opened up and when I got it back this time it had the new program. I got the word on the forum that the face cover was cracking on the Sport. I made the mistake and look to see if mine was . Well low and behold my Sport had that cracking problem. It made another trip again. The weight is not all that bad but it just cuts down on my swing time . I told White’s the last time I sent it in I told them they could throw it in the trash and I’d take the loss. It’s nothing wrong with the detector but I’d had all I could take. It works great! I guess I lost interest in it because all the trouble I had to start. Thanks Jim for lending me your ear . Chuck

Prunt If it wouldn’t cost me a arm and leg I’d send it to you. The trouble is I need both arms and I know I’ll have trouble walking on one leg. From what it’s worth department that TRX is a great Pinpointer! Chuck

Jeff At one time you couldn’t get me to even think about buying another detector. If it didn’t have the name White’s on the side I wouldn’t even pick it up. I just hope it will come a day that White’s will be number one again. No need to say more. Chuck

Dilek Thanks for the quick reply about a smaller coil. The Best To You! Chuck

To Whom It May Concern . I’ve been around maybe as long as you been making detectors . I purchase my first detector from you White’s back in 1966 . At that time you were selling BFO detectors and discrimination was unknown at that time. That was okay with me being I was young and strong. Oh that detector made me the treasure hunter I wanted to be and before I stepped up to the next White’s detector that one had paid for it’s self . Yes it had paid for it’s self more times than I can remember. I sorry as we get older we start to ramble. My last detector I purchase from White’s was the MX Sport. For over a year it got more air time than I’ve ever had. This was from one problem and then another. I have to say White’s was always willing to correct any problem. The Sport has a weight problem like lots of detectors that’s waterproof in the past . Now that’s all okay in the past but it don’t work today . It’s so many companies offering products that run circles around anything you have on the market . It’s going to be a sad day when the very best detector is coming from another country. The trouble is that’s the case right now. I want to say my next detector will be a White’s but I don’t believe that to be true. I don’t need to tell you what you need to be producing because all you need is look around you. It’s as plain as the nose on your face on what it’s going to take to make White’s great again. I thank you for hearing me out and I hope my letter will not fall on deaf ears . Your Truly Chuck Anders

Westy 27 Yes the ID could change from air test to being in the ground. You really don’t know what’s next to your target and the minerals in the ground could effect your ID . Now this is just me ! If I was you I’d dig everything until you really knew your detector. Sometimes that trash can be a treasure . Remember if one person has been there they may have lost something . Chuck

Westy27 Don’t give up on anyplace until you hunt it . If you live in a city that has buses then you want to hunt the bus stops. They can produce more than most think they would. You said the house dates back to the 50’s. Then you should find silver there. Don’t give up and keep telling yourself that. Chuck

Fred Best of luck on the fix coming your way. Chuck

Strick I’ll be happy to put your name in the pot for the book. I’ve had over 60 people view my post but you’re the first to take the time to say put my name in. Chuck

Dilek I know that the Simplex will come on the market with a large coil. I want to know if a smaller coil be available right away for the Simplex? That’s a 6 are 7” round are some form of maybe a elliptical coil. This question may have been ask before. If that’s the case please forgive me repeating the question. If you ever plan on being in the western half of the US I for one would like to know. I wish like others the best on the sell of the Simplex. I thank you so much for coming on Steve’s forum and spending the time with us . Chuck

Yes you still have time to buy . We know the Simplex is soon to be and hopefully the Vanquish is not too long to follow. First Texas may have another detector on the market before the year is out . What I’m going to give away to the lucky winner may want that person to wait .You may Be wondering why would I wait . I’ll let the prize speak for itself . It’s all about how deep you’re willing to go. This is a great book I’m giving away. Just say put my name in the pot and at that time I say we’ll stop the contest and draw the winner. I’m thinking I’ll stop it when the Vanquish hits the market but nothing is written in stone . Due to the cost of shipping the contest is limited to lower 48 . Chuck

I don’t know about all of you if you got a email from Minelab this morning but not one word on are about the Vanquish. Minelab what gives with the Vanquish? I looked the meaning up of the word Vanquish and I didn’t find it to be a dirty word. I would think all of us are due another tease like videos you put out in the pass . Guys they did have some great Treasure Find stories to read. I’ll give them credit for that . Chuck October 2019 Edit - the Minelab Vanquish has been officially introduced. See this thread for the latest news and information.

Good morning LowTide Being we all human and not all easy to deal with.makes a job Stressful. You use the term burnout,well this is something we all have in any job. Dealing with some people on detectors I’d say that Dilek has gone as far as a total flame out . But I don’t believe she’d never show it because she may turn around and someone says thank you. One thank you can heal a lot of wounds . Dilek is working for a company that is not sitting on their hands watching the world go bye. You don’t have to take my word just look at the number of new detectors they have come out with. LowTide I don’t think you have to worry about that Lady she’s got what it takes for the long haul. Chuck

Hey Lady I’m one that knows how great your service is due to the fact I got one detector defective straight out of the box. I got better service direct from you across the water than with some in the USA . Not one time did you ask for me to pay shipping are did you drop me . I guess you could say you stuck with me through thick and thin but never left until you knew I was happy. Dilek I’ve said the same in the past and I’ll always speak up for you and your company. Chuck
