Classic SL W/ Mr Bill mods.

[foreverRich]

First chance to get out and hunt with my White's Classic SL since having the mods done by Mr. Bill at Surfscanner. Went to my local high school that I have been hunting for thirty years now. I have been finding silver on and off for that entire time. It is getting harder to find the good coins, but when I do it has been worth the extra effort. This trip I found a 1841 Half Dime. It is my first half dime. I found a 1805 Dime many years ago at the same school. The school is built on an old plantation from the 1800s, so I am never surprised at what I might find. The half dime was very deep and gave one of those "iffy" signals. Man am I glad I decided to dig. It is not in the best of shape, but I was thrilled with finding it. The best thing is that the school is about one mile from my house, so I don't waste any of my hunting time traveling. Can't wait to get back, so I can find some more silver this year.

Nice finds! I have the same machine and after about a year of no detecting, I finally went out to a local park this afternoon. I really need to contact Mr. Bill and have the mods done on my machine. I am still fine tuning the GB with a small screwdriver and need to make a change. Bob

Very nice find. Not bad shape for being 168 years old and buried. I cant wait to get my IDX pro moded. It does well but gets a little unstable in high minralized ground.

Hollis, ya done good on that half dime

The classics are definately the " sleeper " in the White's lineup in the 1990's. I did'nt find out about them until reading Montes reviews about the IDX PRO in the year 2007 on the White's Main Detecting forum in the Finds Forum. I ended up with an IDX PRO in Nov. 2007 and really like it a bunch. It is a much better machine than my two previous White's that shall remain nameless.

If I was a betting man I would guess that that "iffy" signal became a more solid signal after you took out the first plug and run the coil back over the target. I just love those kind of signals. Take care...............Hombre

You are absolutely right. I cut a plug with my Lesche digging tool and checked the plug and the hole. The coin was still in the hole, but the signal was better and more repeatable. I was using a White's Classic ID before I got the SL and had the mods done. They are by far, the best detectors for the money, that I have ever used. It was like starting over, when I went back to hunt my previous sites. I am looking forward to re hunting a lot of productive sites from the past. As you can tell, I am sold on the White's machines. The Mr Bill mods just make a great detector even better.
