Hi All, my first post. I hope to gain as much knowledge as I can and share as well, with my new, hope to be... virtual digging family. I had just received back from White's in O.R. HQ my repaired/replaced DFX. In a family move somehow it had been damaged, where the plastic housing cracked around the digital display although the digital display was ok the trigger was out of it's socket etc... I read previous posts here that White's takes care of their product with excellent customer device. I agree. They gave me everything new even a 950 coil with a 2 year warranty. they left my circuitry as it seemed fine. New handle, armrest foam grip, and even regular AA batts. I should have taken a picture of my coil as I can not for the life of me recall which one I had. Now, as mentioned I have a 950. I do not think I had this one before. I had emailed and got a a phone call from their service Dept. Glad they called back and seemed sort of satisfied but not completely, about my coil. It may have been a 300 or a Dh2? They said the 950 is good. I mentioned there was no charge on the invoice for the coil, they said oops!! I asked what happened to my original coil, and they answer was..."Circuitry not good anymore"???? The parts total was around $29.00 total. Labor they always charge $54.00 That being said, here is the crux of my post. I was thinking of getting either the 6 x 10 DD Eclipse or the 10" DD (D2) and possibly selling my 950?? Any thoughts??? keep the 950??? I live in Bergen County NJ, and have the best of both worlds, 45 min. from beach and not far from Revolutionary War turf. I grew up in Central NJ and lived in a a town where G.W. traveled thru. Looking forward to getting down there when the weather softens the ground up.
I am a jewelry model maker by making wax models also via gold smithing/silver smithing techniques. Platinum smithing as well. And lastly have access to CAD with 3d printing of wax models I have a few degrees in Jewelry and Gemology. I would love to help out y'all prior to scrapping gold if by chance some of you do not know what you have, (I'm sure you are all pretty swift if interested in this hobby) that some hall marks are more desirable and worth more than scrap. Some may think some are, but in reality they are not.
The coolest thing I had been shown, was a dental bridge from the Revolutionary War, as my wife is a dentist. I got a real thrill out of it, more so than finding gold.
Take a peek of a recent job I had made by recutting some of the stones that had been damaged, this was a compilation of breaking apart a few items of jewelry to get these stones to work together.
Sorry if any of this is inappropriate for the channel. Please let me know where I can post if I erred.
Thanks in advance for any input.
