White’s Please Remove Gag Order On Goldmaster 24K
tboykin replied to Ridge Runner's topic in White's Metal Detectors
The company has not released anything to the greater public as far as announcements. So far all info has been "dealer only." Whether or not dealers have shared that info is not something the company can control. -
It seems acceptable to me. I did run a quick test using GT Metrix and it looks like you could do the following: 1. Minify JS/CSS to improve load times 2. Thumbnail images instead of scaling them with code These could be handled by your programmer or any number of free tools available online (https://www.minifier.org/, https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-dynamically-create-thumbnails--net-1818)

This is a hand-made TDI coil by the gentleman in the picture. He sells them in Brazil only.

White's Goldmaster 24K - New For 2018
tboykin replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in White's Metal Detectors
White's protocol is to first give dealers information on any new product, followed by a general public press release. So it's wise to take any information passed around by said dealers with a grain of salt. Like the rest of the users on this forum, I know that Nokta/Makro and Minelab are the only companies that release new products. -

Tom Boykin What’s New In White’s?
tboykin replied to Ridge Runner's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Hey Chuck. We have very aggressive goals for 2018 and beyond, so I will let our actions speak for themselves. There are enough empty promises online to fill an election ballet. The best thing we can do as a company is put our money where our coil is and work to bring new products to market. There is a reason I haven't been on the forums much lately and that is due to traveling and being busy. Best job I've ever had and I am thankful for every second. Hope you are well and keep your eyes peeled this summer for news from White's. One great way to do that is sign up for our newsletter - https://www.whiteselectronics.com/newsletter-signup/ -
Latest expedition - pocket gold hunting in Oregon. Rough gold found with White's Metal Detectors. Can't be more specific than that. Total weight for the day around 1/2 oz.

What Is On Your Wish List From White’s Electronics
tboykin replied to Ridge Runner's topic in White's Metal Detectors
You guys have good requests. I just want to be able to see through iron (especially chunks of tin roof). Ghost towns would be 10x better with a feature like that! -
Dime / Quarter VDI Error In New 6” Concentric Coil
tboykin replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Fixed. -
Hey guys. Not much I can say on this other than we looked into it, and it seemed the best option was to leave it up to 3rd parties like Reidman (or users themselves who don’t mind tinkering). I run a 16 volt pack in my SL. I accept the risk due to the performance gains. Up to you if you want to do the same, but it’s not something he company can directly promote.... if you catch my drift.

Frying Sound When Turn On Sport W/6” Coil
tboykin replied to Ridge Runner's topic in White's Metal Detectors
Hey Chuck can you post a video of the problem? Maybe I can help. -
This is the 3rd year we're doing this, and the tokens this year are huge, thick collectible ones worth $25 for the silver and $100 for the gold. Details here: https://www.whiteselectronics.com/whites-easter-egg-hunt-2018/?lang=us

There are times when 6" is more than enough. I could take those jokes further but this is a family forum. https://www.whiteselectronics.com/product/mx-six-shooter-6-concentric-coil/ P.S. - Sorry this took so long Chuck. Been out of the office a lot lately.

It depends on how much gold you'd like to find.

Bob, the TDI SL did not find the sub-grainer.

You guys with your conspiracy theories! We just went there for the food and sunny weather. Luckily I was able to check out the mystery rock with some delicate hammer work... Very happy we were able to find a specimen this small. Fly poo... more like gnat poo. I like hearing the words “there’s nothing left at that site, don’t bother.” That just means you need to slow down and pay attention.

That is not information I can share unfortunately. It was really cool to work with people who depend on detectors for their survival. Really a different perspective than the traditional hobbyists. The gold was left in Brazil. These people depend on it for their survival and it belongs in its mother country, putting food on the table of the guys who work the fields.

Bom dia! I had the unique opportunity thanks to my job at White’s to do some work in Brazil and wanted to share some pictures from our trip. First things first, ouro! The soil here is nasty. Even the most expensive PIs struggle to balance out the mineralization. Add the humidity, 120 degree heat, and blazing sun and you have a great area to challenge a gold detector. Garimpeiros make their living off the gold they find. Some are dangerous but most of the ones we met were friendly enough to talk about gold and detectors. Just don’t get between them and their gold unless you want to disappear in the jungle. One of the places we went that was “hunted out” gave up a chunky rock that was just a whisper of a signal. When we cracked it open we found this tiny crystalline nugget. After breaking the tiny tree nugget off I could see that the gold continues down into the rock. Sad to be leaving but I made some new friends while working in the Brazilian sun. -T

Miner John or Coiltek are the way to go. My favorite is the 8 x 12 folded mono - http://razorbackcoils.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/6277945

Minelab Pro Find 35 Field Test And Review
tboykin replied to tboykin's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I would be one of the first to buy this product. I think there are some interesting patents on non-motion VLF discrimination. -
