Anyone notice that some of the whites metal detectors and accessories are starting to go up in price and getting harder to find? For example the V3i. Not many listed you know where . There used to be lots of them new for sale . Looked today and only one used one . Expensive. The AA battery holders , crazy prices . Wonder if the whites detectors are going to become collectibles like trading cards .

I was looking for an additional TRX pointer, and price was over $200! don't seem to be any available.
Hi There. Good to see some users that still like their White machines.
I started out 20 years or so ago with a used MXT and still have it as well as a used GMT.
The only new machine I've bought is a V3i and I must admit I haven't been using it since I bought a used Equinox 800.
(is it wrong to say that here?)
Always have my TRX though when hunting and agree that it is a really great pin pointer.
Was thinking of selling the V3i but it really is a great detector and I think I would take such a huge hit on it that I might as well keep it.
Need to take it out and get reacquanted.

I have definitely noticed the shortage and increased prices of Whites products. I lucked out and purchased a NOS DFX and XLT from a dealer out of Nevada. i also purchased some NOS coils for the XLT. I already owned a XLT and DFX that I had won at a auction. Recently I added a Coinmaster 6000 DI/Pro from another auction that is in the process of recapping. i like the old analog and sounds of a vintage Whites. The problem with buying/keeping the detectors will be the absence of replacement parts that are common on the shelf. I have purchased some of the common needed parts for the coils, push pad screens, toggle switches.
