Well it's been awhile since I posted this video and I did buy the Whites XLT and a Vibraprobe 570. I will post a video soon. I think I want a Minelab E-Trac now!

pin pointer is a must. my pointer was going crazy on a very small piece of rock like object. i took it home anyway and clean it some. it turn out to be a small button from a civil war uniform, worth about 35 dollars.

Peterwo2e....you're right. It would be a lot easier if I had a pinpointer. Last week I ordered the Vibra-Probe 570 from TC detectors. Should receive it this week. Still learning the XLT I purchased and soon I'll post another vid.

Holy Smokes, you need to pin point properly and detune the target. Maybe get a Bullseye Pin Pointer... save you a lot of time and money.

Update to all: I just purchased a used Whites XLT off E-Bay for $476.00 dollars. Hopefully it will be an upgrade!

I used to own your exact detector in the early 80's. I'm on my 4th White's, an XL-Pro (final version of the 6000-D). I highly recommend it. It has Target ID and Depth reading. Another good choice is the 5900-Pro SL, which is almost identical to the XL-Pro, except no Automatic Ground Adjust.

You can pick up a good used unit on Ebay for $250 - $450. Buying used is the way to go. Many people buy one, use it 3 times, put it in a closet, then sell it years later.

Hey Bryan351-I've been looking at the M6 and will be stopping at my local dealer to "test drive" the White's line. Thanks for the tips!

@micmoable WOOPS, I MEANT 5900 DI PRO IN ABOVE POST----I LIKED 6000 DI PRO AND 6000 XL PRO BETTER THAN 5900 DI PRO----I HATE TEN TURN GB--AND THAT'S WHAT 5900 DI PRO HAS ON IT

[micmoable]

Th 5000 D is a good detector---The 5000 D I PRO was better---a friend of mine liked it----and he also had a 6000 DI PRO----I once had a 6000 D detector and it was a nice unit.

Not like the MXT I had, but really nice nonetheless

sheepheads...that funny!!!!!!

[feiz01]

you enjoy doin it like that man,i like to detect a tad more scientifically,thats cool though different way of working,,

[arcadiandelsol]

take the plug, wave it under the coil. Then set it aside. Take handfuls of soil, wave under the coil, then set it aside. You could have been done with this hole in about 1.5 minutes. Great vid, tho.

I can remember when 5000's and 6000's were top-of-the-line machines - very expensive for their time. They were highly coveted by detectorists. Now they are dinosaurs. Kind of sad. But the new technology is amazing. Great video...a walk down memory lane for me.

Lots of sheep heads, that's what she said!

This is a very enjoyable hobby! Plus you can find jewelry and relics.
