Newbie needs some help! Whites Vsat question

[Kidd]

I just purchased a like new Whites Goldmaster V/sat. Its a beautiful machine, and looks as though it has never been used. My question is this. It comes with a 6 by 10 gold master coil. It looks like the stock coil. However it does not say if its a DD. If it doesn't say that, am I to assume its not a DD. Even the instuction manual make no referance to this. I would like to have a DD coil for this machine, and I do see that whites still makes some nice ones for it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Kidd

The DD coils were not made until more recent times than the vSat. All the early White's Goldmasters had concentric coils as well as the Fisher Gold Bug and Gold Bug2. It might work better than you think it will. Lots of gold has been found with the concentric coils before the DD coil came along. The white's DD coil is marked TWIN D and then a T with a D on each side of it below the twinD.

Kidd... the standard coil for the V/sat was concentric. However, White's now makes a Twin D (10-inch elliptical) which will boot
up. It is a good coil... very quiet...

Jim... you are right on target as usual.
hOW is Woody doing?

I have 3 Goldmasters, and extra coils. The DD coils actually have "Twin DD" printed on the coil label in addition to another DD shown back to back (the vertical lines on the D are back to back like a double mirror image).

Hi parrott!
Woody is doing ok. He's getting old and tired. He'll be 92 in March. It aggrevates him that he can't get out detecting like he used to do.

How are Herb and Gladies (Sp) doing... Lost track of them
several years ago.

 

[snakejim]

I talked to Woody this morning and asked about Herb and Gladis. Woody said he hadn't heard from Herb in a long time.
