    Need input on Whites Classic I.D. w/ Blue Max 800 coil

    Hello, I am looking for input about a Whites Classic I.D. w/ Blue Max 800 coil. The detector is on Craigslist and located close to me, asking price is $200. Is that a decent price? What about depth capabilities etc. ? Would the coil be waterproof ? I know of a cache of coins in shallow fresh water for 40 plus years, wondering if this detector would be suitable? Thanks in advance for any info you all share.

    This detector is not the greatest and heavier than other brands like Tesoro's Cibola at near 2 1/2 lbs with batteries as one example. You can get a ACE 250 for near $212.00. I think the price is kind of high for such an older detector.

    I think it is too steep also but, if your able to get it down for about 125-150 I think you would do better and have a decent machine. But it has only one tone and like sandman suggested you would be better off putting up another 12 bucks and getting a brand new machine with more features and would have the depth if not a little more. The classic ID with the 8 inch coil is fun and is built like a tank. I believe it to be a great first detector and depending on how deep those coins are in the water, I would be careful of not going any deeper in the water than above the knees and the coil will want to come up on you and not stay under the water but it should be waterproof as long as there are no cracks in the coil and it is still sealed. Good luck, Tim
