Had the chance to revisit an old detector this evening... A Whites Eagle II SL 90.. with the Motorola Chip.... This detector is twenty years old and works as good as any of today's detectors.. My buddy bought it, and didn't know how to use it..So he asked me if I ever used one.. Well I sure had used one, or two, or three of them.. LOL.... I was amazed at how well this detector did.. Deep, stable, and dead on in ID and depth........... It worked flawlessly.......... very impressive.................makes me wish I had one again... Only thing I noticed was a little play in the rod as you swing it..That's just how they are..it was awesome.

Anyway thought I would share my story....


PS: He got it at a Sale for $150.00.......... unbelievable !!!
 
There seems to be a few of these popping up for sale lately. I agree with everything you said about them as I had one years ago. I didn't feel undergunned then and wouldn't now. I've been tempted to buy another one They were FUN to use.
 
I know a fellow that still swings one and has for many years. He uses it for both relic and old coin hunting and his finds are as good as anybodies and for him, are such that he has no desire to even try another more "modern" detector. That in itself say a lot. HH jim tn
 
yes!..many older white's units "were",and STILL are "crackerjack" coin and relic hunters!
detectors that come to mind in the 80's,and early 90's ..6000 series 2,and 6000 series 3 detectors,along with the original
"eagle 1" introduced in '88...whitey's first foray into a "digital" detector!.i found a 'ton" of neat stuff with all of them!

Yea J.T> I had one of those original Eagles too. With the wrist breaker handle on the top..Then the great Eagle II with the S rod configuration One of the Best Whites ever made "In My Opinion"..
 
This detector is twenty years old and works as good as any of today's detectors..

Pretty bold statement El... a lot of good detectors have been made in the last 20 years.....:laugh:
 
yes!..somewhat heavier but remarkably well balanced!..unlike,(at least to me).the cz family,
which,in my estimation not "balanced" as well,however all the z's were "outrageous" coin snipers too!
i always hip mounted the cz's...i had the cz-6 (with pigtail),and the cz-70!...sometimes i wished(in hindsight)
that i would have kept the cz-70,but i now have the f-75,which in my view, IS the best coin sniper i have ever used!..period!
