White's dtectors.

Soon all the other companies that make detector are going to fallow White's leads. color monitors three band operation. what is high teck on a White's. all the other will be after. as soon as the Paten is up, look how much old man Garret copied the mxt with v.d.i, fisher, mine lab, did the same.

Tesoro has a v.d.i. they copied White's. White's sets the standers for all detectors to fallow. I bet White's will have a screen on their P.I. detector that is going to give you so much information what's in the ground it will beat the pants off of any V.L.F. detector. If I know White's it's come-en and soon...liftloop...
 

Re: White's dtectors.

Bells and whistles people like color screens. Me, I could care less. It doesn't improve the machine's ability to detect better. I would rather see detecting companies put their R&D dollars into ways to make their machines go deeper and discriminate better.

But then again, maybe color screens are what you have to do to sell machines when you know your machine is beat in other areas such as real world performance...
 

Re: White's dtectors.

screens help you discriminate you can knock out iron, pull tabs, and nickle,and lead, but still find them.
you can't do that with a beep and dig detector. I found a nickle that I was discriminating out
because of the threshold break I looked down vdi was 18 dug down and it was a nickle.you can't do that with a non-metered machine,that's why there screen on the detector in the first place. To see what your pa-sin up. It's all a bout in formation.

You missed the entire point of my post. I was saying that a COLOR screen is absolutely useless. While other companies are putting their R&D dollars into useful features, White's has to try and use silly gimmicks like color screens to sell their machines.

well I don't know a bout that pail, so your trying to tell me that the White's v3i screen is a joke, your a hoot. White's got more in there detector than any other company. look at garret when are they going to up date, they use the same inter face for the last 20 years that a joke.

look at the option you get with a White's.you can be color blind and still yous a V3i and there only going to get better. the rest better sit up and take notes.

Yes, their pretty screen is a joke. It doesn't improve real world finds. It just helps sell machines to people that think pretty means results and want the cool new gadget to show their friends.

I could care less about Garrett. I don't think White's or Garrett sets the benchmark for metal detecting. Garrett hasn't upgraded technology in years, I agree with you there. But a fancy color screen isn't going to make their machines any better.

If you are color blind, a black and white screen will suit you just fine, haha, so I don't understand your argument here.
 

Re: White's dtectors.

evidently you don't own one I don't see one listed, and how can you tell three different colors when your color blind.
 

Re: White's dtectors.

liftloop, I use a M-6 DD 6x10,and a SunRay probe,recently got a Letche,sure wish I had one back when,made it a lot easier!A KILLING MACHINE,a VDI of 18 solid is either a nickle,or,GOLD!!!

...Dang that thing is beautiful nice find.. white's detectors are trend setters...liftloop.............................................
 

Re: White's dtectors.

Never could get any depth out of Whites detectors in my area, and the M6 was the biggest hunk of dung I have ever used.

Trend setters...Whites detectors look like an army ammo box on a stick...and there not exactly light weight.

lookindown,I find swinging mine for 5hr. no problem!
 

Re: White's dtectors.

my first detector was an mxt,found out the 5900Di pro is a much deep detector not as stable some times, has a hard time with hot rocks, and over head high wire ,but a way deeper detector.I think that's the detector that tesoro set out to beat with the "micro circuitry"then fisher,bounty hunter,mine lab.the list goes on they looked up to White's at one time or another.

I swing my 5900 Di pro 6 hour strait with out a break, and that has a 15" loop,sure it can get heavy,
but I'm not a wimp ether. when your in to it there is not-hen stop-en you.I change arms I'm just as good with my left arm as my right arm. when it come to swinging the loop of a heavy detector.
 

Re: White's dtectors.

I do find the Vision lighter than other detectors and with my wrists going bad, I can swing it a lot longer than my 6000 DiPro.

As far as the "pretty colored graph", I do find it useful, not just pretty. The different colors represent the different frequencies and whichever line on the graph is most evident is the most likely metal composition in the ground. I can, at a quick glance, determine if that silver dollar signal is indeed a silver dollar or a hunk of iron. It not only tells you what the composition is, ie: silver, copper, iron...it estimates the size on a different screen.

I frequently dig the signals just to confirm what the detector is telling me is true but am becomming more confident that bad signals can indeed be ignored.

With eyes that aren't as keen as they used to be, it's quite easy for me to take a quick glance at varying colors than to have to study a grey scale.

My time detecting is very limited and I want to maximize my experience. I don't want to spend the few precious hours a month I get digging tons of trash.

To some it's bells and whistles, to me it's more useful tools to maximize my good finds.

Back when I started with a t/r machine, there wasn't the tons of trash like there is nowadays. The monotone pitch with no graphs or needles were adequate for finding tons of silver.
Times have changed, situations are different.....gotta go with the times if I want to continue enjoying the hobby.

Liftloop is right, the way of the old detectors are fading. Modern technology is what sells. That new detector is a far cry from the old BFO's and t/r's which we grew up with. To those that started with a bfo, even one of the newer machines that came out with an analog needle was bells and whistles, or the multitones...I still don't use that feature...drives me crazy.

To each there own. If you think it bells and whistles now, wait a few more years and see what comes out next. I thought the 6000DiPro was the thing when I bought one. Still think it is a great machine and I'll never sell mine. But the Vision just has more tools to me.

Re: White's dtectors.

deepskyl,

well written and thank you for your in put, man to hunt back then most of been a blast being the first with top end equipment "bfo's" the "T.R's" and like you said, less trash in the ground.

My post was directed toward liftloop....no offense to anyone else. Most people on here dont pay any attention to liftloop....90% of his posts say "Buy Whites, Garrett sucks." Every now and then, I ruffle his feathers.
 

Re: White's dtectors.

lookindown,


You can't ruff full my feathers, I know a good detector from a bad one, a deep one from a shallow one, and expensive one too a cheap one. Vlf to a p.i. metered or a non metered. hot rocks to good soil. Ive been studding this hobby as if my life depended on it. If I had the money I would buy every detector out there and post a head to head comparison, in the U.S.A, Australia, England, middle east And post it on you tube for the hole world to see....

I love this Hobie

...liftloop.......................................................
