White's Egale programmable metal detector.

[detectorcowboy]

I told Y'all about me going thru my old metal detecting stuff the other day, well today I found this antique.
The rechargeable batteries lasted for a whole 20 seconds long enough to see that the detector turned on and it seemed to work, so tomorrow I will invest in 4 C cell batteries & see what happens.
If anyone has one or used one, I'm open to suggestions.
The White's Garrett's, etc...................all the old detectors were built like a tanks.

True the White's detectors were built like tanks-weighed just as much.
The first one (family owned)the GoldMaster had no discrimination, just metal/mineral setting.

I can't recall if I had the Eagle programmable, might have then traded it in on a Golden Eagle ll SL
That one was a really great machine-signal-turn 90 degrees still a signal dig-coin. If it cut out-trash.

Lots of fond memories with the White's

First machine I ever used was a Whites (63/66?) on a California beach. Kept me in hamburger and beer money until 1968 when I got drafted. When I got back home to SC in 1971 the second thing I did was buy a Whites!!
