Steve If I spit in one hand and wish in the other I know what will get full the fastest . The thing is I’m still going to rub that lamp I found on the beach and wish . I guess like so many times I don’t make myself clear on what I’m referring to. I was referring to KHz detecting in not ID numbers . You ever heard the term The squeaky Wheel Gets The Most Grease ? Well I’m that wheel! Chuck

The big thing one detector company open up in 2018 is a milt frequency. You can pick one at a time are all numbers at one time. I believe that all other detector companies has to make this their goal too . I know this is putting the cart before the horse but what frequency numbers do you want to see in the new White’s in 2019 ? I myself want it more for coin hunting. I still would like to see some high numbers. I want it for small gold if I find myself on a beach are in the gold fields . Yes I do want to pick what I want to hunt in be one are all . I hope someone from White’s will chime in just to say they haven’t forgot about us faithful ones . Chuck

Gambler Bears in Alaska won’t eat Texans . The reason is they are so full of it,it leaves a bad taste in the Bears mouth . So if you go there be sure you got a T shirt on that says Texan in big letters. The only problem you may have is not all Bears can read . Chuck

The last time I was up there I took someone I knew I could out run . Another thing to remember is don’t shoot one with a small caliber pistol. If you do all you going to do is just piss him off more. Chuck

I know my question was what did you buy in 2018 but you don’t have to buy anything on the contest for the book . I say the more the merrier. Chuck

Here is some more pictures of coins that Tony has found and some rings . Chuck

Everyone needs to go back and read what I’ve added for all a chance to win. Chuck

This story is about a guy I call a friend. He had his car stolen with his detector in it . About the same our paths crossed. Being he wanted another detector I told him what Minelab would have to offer soon . I said I’m sure if he can wait it would be worth it . A dealer friend after finding out what happen to his other detector he gave 10 percent off his Nox 800. Oh yes he has a name and that is Tony. I think Nox Nut fits him better. My trouble is he calls me Pop being I got some years on him . One picture you see his Nox in the water. At that time he had the stock coil on and he’s got foam around it to keep it afloat. The coins you see was found with both coil . He hasn’t had the 6” coil long but he really loves it. Chuck

I myself didn’t buy but just one detector and that was a Equinox 800 . I found it to be a great detector for coin hunting and that’s the reason I bought it . The first thing I done was print the owners manual full size for easy reading. I never found the Nox a problem to run . If you had the instruction manual and you could read plus understand you were good to go . The only trouble I did have was with the on and off switch. I’d had it having to wait on the 6” coil so I sold it . I told the guy about the switch when I sold it . He used it for a while but called Minelab and they fixed it . I guess it was in trouble from day one . Right now I’m just going to sit back and see what 2019 has to offer.

You can post as much as you want but your name only goes in one time for the drawing This will end on November 16 at 6 PM CST

Hey You Texan You may not know it but at 78 you still got baby fat . Well at 77 that’s what I’ve been calling it . You say you’re in South Texas . I don’t know how south you are but you can find me in San Antonio. Feel free if you wish to contact me by PM by clicking on my name . The Best ! Chuck

El Nin077 I’m with you if they can pressure treat it with helium. I’d look funny swinging a detector with helium balloons tied to it . It’s another detector company in another land will set the world on fire come 2019 . Another has done that in 2018 and I don’t think they will be willing to step aside to let another pass. I’m not saying that it hadn’t been a great years for White’s and I want it even better for them in 2019. Chuck

I don’t know why but everything I tell about is years ago. A dealer friend when ask by a customer how well made is a White’s detector. This nut would throw his detector across the yard. His yard was grass and he’d pick it up and turn it back on . He said one day that may backfire on him . We all know that White’s detectors did come in a metal box but we also know you can’t keep doing that if you want the weight down . I have people ask how much did that detector cost and they like to have dirty their pants when I tell them. I ask you just how much are you willing to pay to get what you want in a detector? I know all of us old farts want less weight but at the same time White’s may be asking if they can reach a balance point. The balance point is less weight technology cost and how much the cost for all of this. The major thing is the customer going to pay it. White’s I can only speak for myself and I’m willing to put my money down for it. I’ve paid over three thousand more than one time for a gold detector so yes I’m willing. I’ve joke before I wanted a detector I could read the date before I dug it . I withdraw that wish but please give me everything that came out in 2018 and more if possible. Chuck

If we all look back over the last year so many great things have come out of detector companies. Oh yes some more than others but we have some sleepers that will raise their heads in 2019 . i think when some of the sleepers do come alive in 2019 what’s hot now will become what we call everyday. This is like you’re first car phone in it hurt your back to lift it but now you can hold it in one hand . Who knows maybe the detector companies need to get in contact with Apple being they have done a great job on the iPhone . My thinking for 2019 will be a wild ride but one we’ll enjoy. Chuck

The V3i is a great detector but if you could compress it like cell phones have over time would bring it up where it should be now. The technology is out there but a company has to have a electronics engineer that can bring it to life . I may be asking too much of a company that are doing the best they can with what they got. Chuck

Hey Andy I haven’t forgot about you . I’m back and I had to come back early because my wife’s appendix burst and she was in surgery while I was driving home . That girl will do anything to get me home. After the storm is over and all is well here in Texas I’ll get with you. Why don’t you go ahead and P M your address to me. Chuck

Well I’ve got some old rag mags of Treasure Hunting waiting on some one. The trouble here is who knows if anyone gets it right. Chuck

Norm Not only you’re train your ears but also training what keeps them from falling in on them self. He has learn a lots about his Nox and doing great at detecting. He has the 800 and I’m the one that told him about it before it came out . He is truly a Nox Nut . Chuck

White’s this year is coming to a end sooner than soon! I seen your early bundles you have for people on are before Christmas. They all some great deals that covers the total spectrum of detecting but I for one want more. What I’m wanting you don’t have yet . I wanting what others have now in a multi frequency and yet pick a single one if I do desire. I been with White’s over 50 years and at 77 I know I don’t have another 50 . I don’t want somebody blowing smoke up my south end . I do have some years before I kick the can and I want to take it with me . I’ve ask my wife to put it in the coffin with me . One just don’t know where he’ll be when he gets to the other side . So much for the bull ! Tom Boykin just tell it like it is and if it’s not too be just say so. Chuck

Gambler I live in Texas but a friend had me to come and hunt with him in northeast Oklahoma. Because of high trash here and there I used the Sixshooter coil all the time. I say don’t leave home without it . It’s just one hot little coil and I last longer swinging it . It’s got good to great depth in just about any soil . If you don’t have it the only question I have for you is why not ? Chuck

Phrunt Right now I’m open to any suggestions! What I’m thinking of doing is put the batteries inside tubing. I may mount everything on another handle. I know AA’s will work but I’ve got figure just how I want to do it. I may use my Eagle 2 to do what I want. This week I haven’t had any time to work on it. I was in Oklahoma coin hunting and this past Monday my Wife’s appendix burst and had to rush home and she had surgery the same day. Just maybe she may get out of the hospital tomorrow. The Dr said much longer she wouldn’t have been here. Chuck

Steve Thanks for your reply. If looking to cut some fat off the Sport and I may go to a different power source other than AA’s . I’d plan to keep it at the same voltage but like before I don’t want it to go up in smoke. Chuck

White’s has 12 early I guess you could say Christmas Packages of different detectors Just some more great deals coming from White’s for Christmas are just because you want it . I’ve never been the one to have a special reason to buy a detector other than I want it . Let me correct the word want it’s more in the way I need it and my life is dependent on me getting it Tom if you’re the lucky one to pull my name out of the hat for Christmas I need the 24 K bad! Chuck PS Guys remember it don’t cost anymore to wish big.

My friend has yet to have trouble with his but thank you White’s for being there when in need. In my opinion we have three major detector companies that are there when any of us are in need of some form of help . Chuck

I need to know the type and size of the screws in the Sport ? Do you know if it can take a higher voltage without smoking it ? If anyone else knows the answer please do reply. When I get finish with my Sport we both may not know it. Chuck

I know you can’t cut pounds off a detector and still have what we want. I’m talking about a ounce here and there and even get down to grams . Jeff was talking about the Treasure Pro that he liked but didn’t have the punch power as the Sport. On the outside they both look the same but I haven’t looked to see what powers the Treasure Pro . I guess it comes down to voltage. If that’s the case maybe it could use another battery source. I was into electronics for 35 years but now more into brain surgery. Buy one get one free. Chuck
