The problem is that my uncle was the local welder for the area and there is thousands of burnt welding rod stubs littering the spot. This will make any detector go bonkers. Sure would be nice to find it for her after all these years.
The Compass 100khz detectors, I feel would be the top gun for this hunt.
What do you fellas think?

I have been lurking in the forum for a few days now looking for an answer to this issue. None found.

So, I got what I think is a good deal on this detector from an older gentleman that used it literally twice, had a heart problem, & had to give up the hobby. Since then it has been stored in his closet. Of course the batteries were dead and he didn't even know how to change them or where they were located.

When I got it home I grabbed a manual off the web and located the battery compartment and got new batteries. Took it outside, ran thru the techie setup process as best I could understand it being my first time and all. FOUND A PENNY!!! Big WOOT! After a minutes of excitement, and yet another PENNY, I noticed that the meter didn't ever move other than a gentle sway back & forth as I am sweeping the unit. So, my first thought is that I have overlooked doing something to make it work, but I am not too sure now after a few days of searching for this answer. I called White's and they promptly gave me the authorized repair center in IL. Called them and no answer! Hmmm... frustration setting in!

Well, some of you guys with a lot of experience chime in and set me on the right path to meter movement please! Movement is good! :wiggle:

I am just dying to go look for some relics down at the river!!!

Hate to bring up and rehash an old question but, is there any round or elliptal DD coils out there that I can use with my XL Pro?

Are these harder to find these day's?

turn it back down when I wanted to use the probe. I was just surfing the web one day and saw this forum and started reading some old
posts and found the answer to my problem. A machine that had knobs, what a great idea. I work on a boat, and I can tell you that analog

By chance, After swapping circuit boards (5500/D Series 3 and a 6000 Di Series 3) into different housings, Instead of going through the process of switching the analog meters and harnesses I connected the non-target ID 5500/D intensity meter to the target ID 6000 Di Series 3 circuit board and sure enough it works as a target ID meter.

The only difference is the meter face, One is an Intensity the other Target ID. So all I did was swap meter face plates, and some minor differences in the harness connection at the circuit boards.

Any you out there having these intensity meters can now use them for replacement parts on selected Whites and Tekentics models using an analog for target ID, Just switch meters and swap face plates and you're back in business.

Below, Is a current project I've been wanting to complete and today finally made the time. Those that don't know the older blue box Whites 6000 Di Series 3 is a great target ID (Manual Ground Balance) detector especially working up close to metal poles and such, Great tot lot detector capable of getting up close to metal poles and underneath metal slides. Only thing is it's not balanced so well, I guess allot of the older units are not balanced.

Using a sporty looking Whites 5500/D Series 3 housing for the circuit board switch, In fact is the same detector as the 6000 Di Series 3 only that the 6000 has two sensitivity positions while the 5500/D Series 3 only has one sens position and a SAT position. Other than that both use the same control functions and are placed in the same position so both boards are transferable, And of course the 6000 Di has target ID while the 5500 is a non- target ID detector...Took about two hours for the switch so both are now back in good working order only in a different housing.

The last picture, The (now updated) 6000 Di Series is sitting beside a 5900 Di-Pro SL. Both are about the same only the kHz are slighty different, And the 5900 Di-Pro Sl gets a little more depth. However, The 5900 Di-Pro still can't get up close to metal poles as the 6000 Di Series 3 can.
