A pair of "turn on and go" White's detectors
Hello beach hunters,
I posted this Q. over in the Whites/M6 forum but noticed it's pretty dead there. My best friend came into a lot of money. He knows I'm a detectorist-he bought a ring from me. He just bought a 19' boat to cruse the bay. So when he's not fishing or crabbing, he wants to detect. He's aware of the reputation of White's Electronics and so that's what he wants. I had a Whites and loved it - but that was in '73. These days I run an Ace 250 that would beat the pants off my old Coinmaster. I'm assigned to pick out the model for him and any companion he might have (hopefully me). It has to be "Turn on and go" simple, however money is no longer an object-fun and easy to use is the new objective. Even though it's supposedly a beach machine, he may not want to be limited that way later. Just in case (my opinion) they should have a multipurpose resale value. My ideas started with an M6, but then I watched the DFX videos at White's site. I haven't watched the Spectra V3 videos yet. I checked out what some of you were using in your profiles. I'm stuck picking a White's though - you don't want to argue too much with the guy with money to burn.
To summarize:
What White's is "Turn on and go." simple, great at the beach, but not limited to it?
I'd rather have posted about the old narrow-gauge rail I found yesterday, or the rings and IH cent I found over the weekend. But this assignment took me from lurking for months to signing up, so there's nothing to bitch about.
