    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    MuddyMo, respectfully the things you list have nothing to do with the underlying technology of today's detectors. Today's detectors that are not PI detectors use VLF technology as the method to detect a target. This technology is 25 years or more old and reached its apex in the early 90's. At...

    Can Garrett Detectors even COMPETE with the Latest & Greatest?????

    I agree that Garrett has not come out with anything groundbreaking but what manufacturer has? As a few have pointed out the underlying technology has not changed in 25 years or more. Until the technology changes all you are going to see are minor changes to the feature set of XYZ detector and...

    Input please on upgrading my detector

    You state that you use an MXT Pro and have had "pretty good luck". If you are finding good things with your present detectors as you say why change? Many people think that if you buy the latest and greatest you will find a lot more things. That is not necessarily the case. Metal detector...

    White's Electronics Forum?

    I have looked at the link Dave-UT referenced. Some good links are still intact. I was thinking that I would copy and post some of the older information so it becomes part of the "new whites form" history. Below is a sample of a post from Rob (IL) on V31 sensitivity. The post runs longer than...

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    I have a F5 that I love. Great user interface and was my first real detector. I don't think David Johnson is still at First Texas. I heard he retired and has health issues. Carl Moreland from Whites I think was hired a few years back but he recently posted he works on the industrial side of...

    Guy with First Texas says new machines coming possibly later this year.

    We will see. Fisher has been absent in the development of hobby detectors for many years. The F75 was what 11 years ago? The push to sell direct to the customer "Technetics" puts them in direct competition with their dealers. Another bad sign for the health of the hobby.

    Ordered my 3rd Apex, Now hoping for the right smaller-size coil for it.

    Monte I always enjoy reading your thoughtful posts. Nice to see the F5 still in your arsenal. As someone who rebought the F5 at the current lower price after selling my original one many years ago I have really enjoyed this detector. I hope your health improves and I look forward to reading many...

    My Old F5 Is Back

    Monte Also nice to see you picked up a F5 also. I have followed your posts for many years and always stop and read your well thought out posts on various topics when I see one. if you like the F5 that says something. One question the 7" concentric coil you like is that a Fisher coil or...

    My Old F5 Is Back

    Congrats on getting your F5 back. Many years back I owned and then sold off my F5. Over the years I really missed that detector so when I heard of the huge price drop on them I jumped and bought one. I have been really enjoying using it again. In the last two weeks I have found 5 rings and a...

    Whites closing their plant.

    I just talked with Todd from Whites. He worked in White's service department for 30 years. He is setting up a repair shop at his home and has a 3 year contract with Whites to repair and service their detectors. He currently has a lot of spare LCD screens, circuit boards and other spare parts...

    Whites resumes MX Sport production

    The O-ring issue has been solved and fixed by Whites. They just released a update at MX Sport update The issue was with the O-ring itself not with any assembly issues. Apparently the O-ring used was too robust for the plastic screen. Whites has restarted production of the MX Sport.

    V3 Ground Filter Talk.

    Mike, great post. You have a knack for taking a complex idea and breaking it down in to simple terms that the average person can understand. Your post on filters is one of the best ones I have read on the subject. As a former F5 user I read all your posts on that detector and learned a great...

    Sensitivity Zoom Screen on V3i

    Actually Rob's explanation is easier for me to understand. The manuals explanation never really made sense to me. But as my wife has told me I am not like "most" people :smile:

    Does anyone hunt with the analyze screens?

    I anybody can figure it out and make a new friend it is you Mike.

    You are correct. I confirmed this with Whites.

    Detech Ultimate 13" coil color

    I am going to order a Ultimate 13" coil for my V3i and I see that they come in black or white color. Beside aesthetics is there a functional difference between the two? I have heard that the black units are the newer batch. Thanks
