rvpopeye Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I talked to a lady that said she had some old detectors in her barn., she thought one was a Whites...so I asked which one. She sent me this so far, so I thought somebody here must know what it was. And if it was worth getting. Anybody? Edit , think I found one on ebay , Coinmaster 6000? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geotech Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Old White's, looks like a 6000di-Pro, circa 86-87. If it's in good working cond might fetch $100 or so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thx for confirming Geotech , that's what it was priced on fleabay . Is it a gem or a relic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geotech Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 35 years ago, a gem. Maybe the best you could buy. Today, not so much. It has less depth, poor target separation, and a traditional analog discriminator that costs even more depth. However, if you are hunting in a sea of bottlecaps for shallower targets it's perfect for that. It's a four-filter design that makes bottlecaps easy to hear, and the old analog ID meter was pretty solid. Another benefit is that it's a good detector to run a Bigfoot coil on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Be it gem are relic it to is in the eyes of the beholder. Now if it don’t work it may be trash unless you think you can fix it. Reg would have jumped on that with both feet. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwcracker Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Don't walk away, run! Unless you are a vintage detector collector. Used to be a pretty good machine but would be grouped with a forked willow stick today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeabeeRon Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Still a classic after all these years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Collectable for the right person. I had my Compass 77B Pro. for about 45 years before I sold it to someone who wanted one. I still used it if my other detector was down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Thx for the reviews , ? Sounds like I'll try to get it if it's cheap enough (and works) it will be a great replacement for my old Radio Shack / Micronta "B Hunter" backup . I like old trons. And guess I am one too. Also thinking of showing her how to use it and encouraging her to try detecting . If anyone here is in love with them , maybe I could make your dream come true ..
