Hello everyone, I own 3 metal detectors, my first being a Whites Coinmaster 5000/D series 2. I bought it at auction for $80 about a year ago to see if I would like detecting for fun, of course I got married so that was on hold for a while but I finally got out to try it and I love it. I'm wasn't quite sure on how to adjust the settings or maybe the battery pack isn't right since it takes two 9 volts. I grew impatient with what I thought was an outdated detector so I went out and bought a Minelab Exterra 30. I was not impressed with the depth or the readings. I was at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago and purchased a Whites Liberty II that I bought for $5.00 because they thought it was a kids model since the shaft setting was all the way up. The only reason I bought it was to turn a profit but I used for fun and this detector blew my mind away with the depth and accuracy of the tone. I'm keeping this detector and ebaying the other two until I can afford a better model. There is nothing to this detector so why is it so good and where do the batteries go? Thanks Cuda.

whites liberty II question
- Thread starter cuda
- Start date
I had the Liberty DI for many years which was the only Liberty to come to the U.K.
Blue plastic body with battery pack under the armrest and DI meter in a large pod on top of the handgrip.
Excellent detector with great all metal depth. It had a hardwired coil and the tiny 1/8th inch headphone jack. Both of these I soon changed.
I always thought that Minelab should have looked at the Whites design before they launched the Explorer. It was far better.
Is the Liberty II a similar model in the range without the DI meter ?

Mine is quite different in appearance to what is in the manual, mine has a straight aluminium shaft and the battery pack goes into the top of the control housing.
You are right it is a great unit, the only thing is that I think that it needs a new coil for it. I understand that the PRO and II and III series coils will work with an adapter.
I would really like to get it working again.
