Whites 6000 D vs. 6000 DI ????

CoinShooter01

Well-known member
I was hitting garage sales this morning and found a old Whites 6000.
I passed on the purchase, but it got me thinking....
What is the difference between a 6000 D and the 6000 DI?
I searched google, and Im more confused than before!
Seems like some have a meter built onto the housing, and others have the meter built into the handle...
But It seems like both the D and the DI came either way, so I dont believe that is the difference.

Can anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between a 6000 D and the 6000 DI?
Thanks in advance.
 
The 6000/D has a depth meter and the 6000/Di has a discrimination indicator(VDI) meter. The units that have a meter mounted at the front of the handle started with the 'Series 3'. The earlier models were on the control housing.

Thank you for your information Straker.
Would there be any other differences between a early 6000 DI with the meter in the housing, and a latter version 6000 DI with the meter in the handle, or are they basically the same machine with different meter locations?
 
i believe the meter location was the only difference, those units when tuned properly preformed really well in my experience

The later 6000/Di Professional series have a 'Sensitivity' knob to increase power. The original 6000/Di Series 2 and 3 didn't. The black box 6000/Di replaced the 'Signal Balance' for 'Sensitivity' adjustment.

The power is fixed , sensitivity adjusting does not increase "power". Same for all or most detectors. Too much sensitivity can miss or loose targets on trashy sites.
 
Had all 3 the series 3 had boost the 6000 and 6000di series2 did not all signals were boost if it seen it gave same report on a shallow target or deep target volume wise . Another words the battery check knob had min VDI and a max VDI which boost the volume . sube

I stand corrected. Sensitivity either increases or decreases the sensitivity of the audio tone only in the GEB/DISC mode and Meter indications in all 4 modes.
