Ridge Runner Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I do believe White’s was the leader in detectors back when. I just wonder why that don’t hold true today. Some May disagree with me on the above statement I made but the truth hurts. I am a great lover of White’s detectors and will always have a soft spot in my heart for them.

Chuck For me in gold, Garret was the leader, then Whites with the GM2, now ML, who next. Why? guess it narrows down to one key man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lunn Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 For me the first smart detector was the Gold Bug 2. This machine understood (and still understands) my meager skills and allows me to find gold. Its basic discrimination is straight forward, consistent and can give target insights. It is a great companion machine for my GPZ, and I can not imagine going into a gold field without it. It has withstood the test of time and aged gracefully. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Slick Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Here's another vote for the White's Eagle. Being able to save programs, dead on depth measurement, and the ability to Learn to accept or reject a target had me sold, though I couldn't part with my Compass Gold Scanner Pro until the Eagle II SL 90.5 was released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnedoe Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I have an Eagle Spectrum that I got in 90 or 91... Still a great machine .... versatile and programable. Operating freq. is 6.59 so not much on the small gold but a killer sweeper when I have the Bigfoot coil on it.... Heavy old beast though.... Or am I just getting old?... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I still have a White's Spectrum XLT It was great in junky areas and had a wide range of target selections. I don't know if it is heavy (have not used it for a while) but I told I'm getting ....old.... I meant gold with ML and they are heavy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
