I spoke with a local metal detector dealer that specializes in White's and Minelab today. They are also like this outdoor/adventure/sporting goods store. I explained to the fella that I was looking for a conservative priced unit such as a Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX or Garrett Ace 250 until I could build my way up to a more premium model.
I also explained to him that I had a piece of White's history which is the White's Goldmaster 66TR. I told him it was a clean, complete unit with the exception of needing to replace the 12v battery pack. He went on to say that he had the replacement battery holder that would do the trick for a little of nothing. Knowing our area, he knew primarily I would be detecting on and around the beach and other sandy or black sandy areas which would have salt and mineralization which would torment a newer beginner level detector unit (although modern) and also torment me...lol. He recommended that the White's Goldmaster 66TR was dependable although a very outdated unit and would handle the sand and mineralizations better and probably would detect deeper. So, did this gentleman give me sound advice in your opinion?
Thanks to all,
Bobby
