Are you listening Whites...

you might ask kenneth white at white's electronics in sweet home,oregon!..i believe he grabbed the first one off the line back in '99.don't think he will part with it though!..just kissing!..this detector is becoming very difficult to find used,and even more difficult to find in like new condition!..the detector is really so damn good ,no one wants to sell it!..keep checking the metal detector forum web sites equipment for sale threads,and you might get lucky!..check e-bay as well!..best of luck!

(b.t.w!)..the preferred model is the 6000 pro xl,or simply the pro xl!..the 6000 di pro xl was the heavier model of the two!..whites updated the electronics,and made the control box smaller to save weight,thus creating a detector that was better balanced and lighter than the 6000 di pro xl!

this is my preliminary report on multitone WOW! Mrand's kit. someone in Russia did give me a clue on PCB. the IC is LM339,. 4 comparators in the chip. the schematic is simple you see. if I will get additional info on the printed board you will get all shematic.

No Multi Tone And Do Away With The TR [Useless] Mode.

 

[mickfin]

Good idea???? I got a XL-Pro just a wating to go to Whites 4R a tone ID upgrade,
I would Pay one Milloin Thousand Dollars,

hello Findmallers, can anybody share out HD photos both sides of desoldered PCB? absent of full info does not give me a chance to move ahead. i can hope only on your worldwide support.

good luck

I used to be the biggest Whites fan in the world. That is until they left the low frequency line (QXT Pro, XLT, etc) and moved on to higher frequency units. Those higher frequency units don't do well in my mineralized soil. Lacking a larger coil for my QXT Pro to push the depth further (the 12" Hot Shot didn't work well), I moved onto to deeper detectors that had larger coils. And, more to the point, when you move to larger (say 12") coils, it's important to have them be double D coils in order to lesson the impact of ground minerals. Had Detech come out with a 12x10 SEF coil for the low frequency Whites line I might have stayed with the QXT Pro. There are a TON of low frequency Whites on the market. Probably more so than any other machine. They all use the same compatible coils. One would think Detech would come out with some SEF coils to tap this huge market. It would give new life to some old machines.

Mainly I'd like to see Whites come out with a new low frequency machine (they also hit harder on silver and copper coins at depth and penetrate ground minerals better) with new technology to get deeper than the old ones, along with some larger DD coils to push the depths even further. I am NOT a fan of the endless programming tweaks the high end Whites have these days. Much of that stuff should be handled by the detector automatically, like it is on the Minelabs.

I see some conversation relative a new Whites unit..Why not bring back the 6000 pro XL with a varible notch and tone ID as it has the best most accurate meter on the market and the unit before the heavier XL model was a favorite for many years. I do understand one fellow is modding the older XL's to give tone ID which they needed and perhaps someone could add that info..Analog may be considered old hat to many but why do away with a winner as many prefer analog and would give the consumer his choice without all the programs, tweaking etc. of your top of the line models....Just a thought having my first cup of coffee...And yep have used both analog and digital...

Dan,

This was Whites reply back to me in 2006 ( I kept it saved) when I asked why they quit making the XL Pro and how long they would have parts available for them. Read there reply back below I removed my name and the persons name that replied back to me. I also asked if what they said is true in the e-mail reply below in another e-mail quoting there e-mail below just last year and asked them why do they still produce the Sierra Madre model with the Analog meter and analog components if what they said below was true. To this day they have not replied back concerning that question. First time ever White's would not respond to one of my e-mails or questions throughout the years enough said about that. I lost a little respect for them after that but it's there company and I do not have all the facts nor do they at the end of the day owe me any explanations for why they choose to stop or start producing any of there detectors. They make awesome detectors and I still support White's they more than likely felt my question was petty in the big picture and it was best left alone..

Happy Hunting To All
