My new (used) Whites Spectrum XLT

[damiani1]

Hi, I am excited about this new machine as it is really cool how there is soo much customization about the modes and the internet has plenty of "recipes." I thought it was going to be really heavy being 4 pounds, this thing is balanced really good. Here is a picture of it:

Thanks, I am already blown away by the air test depths I was getting. So stoked to go to that spot I was concerned about missing things.

Welcome, the whites machines are one of the very best out my 3 its the one i have most extras for theres endless modes & options, another great thing with urs is, later on down the road u can put some dfx parts at it make it a little hybrid lol learn it & it'll return the favor with lots of great finds good luck

 

[damiani1]

Thanks and interesting, have you ever used a hybrid on yourself and how would you go about making it a hybrid dfx? soldering some things?

 

[christo000]

Since its almost kinda like dfx if u were to send it in to whites for like a tune up they would use some dfx internals,screen theres a couple parts that fit if u contact them they can give u an exact what fits, either way u did just get a great detector I love taking my v3i out its got endless options, if u decide to get coils as many know already im a big fan of the sef coils they work awesome like a dd coil on steroids lol

 

[damiani1]

Ahh okay, do you know how much that would run from whites?

The v3i looks like quite the awesome machine! I will start to keep my eyes more open for these whites master pieces!

My guess it would depend on what u have them actually do to it. Ya the v3i is an amazing machine with literaly endless options. But if ur just getting into it stick with ur xlt for a bit no harm in looking at others but that xlt will find lots of things deep to & has a good amount of options to definetly keep u busy lol . For a cheap v check out online auctions such eBay I seen some pretty cheap or even craigslist good luck buddy ur off to a good start. I would advise a good pinpointer the garrett propointer,minelab profind 25,& even the sunray probé I got all of them & there all really good

Damiani, just E-Mail Whites and see what they say about having the XLT DFX'd then post on here to save everyone else having to do it !

 

[damiani1]

ok will do

 

[shadowcat1971]

I've never heard of a XLT being DFX'ed? I thought I new everything about the XLT, and even sent mine in for a tuneup, he didn't mention anything about upgrading or DFX ing my XLT. Any info would be appreciated!!

 

[U.K. Brian]

You haven't heard about it because they can't do it.

 

[christo000]

Yes they can call em befor u say they cant alot of dfx parts will fit

 

[christo000]

Im not saying every dfx part fits but whites will let u know its the spectra xlt,xlt & dfx just a couple like even the lcd screen from the dfx will fit
