White's Just Introduced 3/2009 Spectra V3  IN STOCK

unsurpassed in Audio, Visual, RAW Power and Selectivity with Advanced Technologies and
Wireless Headphones Technology:
* Three Active Frequencies, Analysis Mode (Shape, Size, Response), Color Screen, and many more surprises!!!
30%+ MORE Depth than other E Series Detectors, Taking Your to a NEW Level


    White's E Series DFX
    Comments: When it comes to a do it all detector, the DFX is Top Dog in its Price Range with the latest model being the 300 mm.   
    Not only is it a multi-frequency detector with 3 AND 15 kHz, along with 18 other Harmonic Frequencies, you can SELECT to operate
    in 3 kHz for silver or 15 kHz for gold.   Along with 55 Basic and Pro Options your in Total Control.   The DFX like the XLT offers
    Signagraph Technology but in addition you can adjust the sweep speeds, filters etc.

    The DFX comes standard with the 950 Concentric but my advice is to buy the optional 6x10" Eclipse Wide Scan which significantly
    improves visual target ID in all ground conditions and improved target separation.    One of the Pro Options is the advanced Mixed
    Mode Audio which allows the user to hear BOTH the all metal and the discrimination mode which enables one to slow down  sweep
    speed and carefully isolate a mixture of bad and good targets to focus in on the real deep stuff missed by most.   


    White's XLT, E Series
    Comments: The XLT operates at White's traditional 6.59 kHz for very good response on silver conductive targets and good
    response on most gold jewelry but not up to the performance of the MXT on the Lower Conductors.   The XLT shines in its Signagraph
    Technology and smooth operation as it is a full filtered detector.   On a dime at 8" the XLT can deliver a better target signal than the
    MXT or M6, but it requires a faster sweep speed to do so.   The Signagraph Technology will not only read out the target ID but it will
    deliver 1 bar up on round targets within 6" to surface.   The XLT has been in the White's Line Up for over Ten Years and was
    preceded by the Eagle Spectrum and Eagle Series (White's first Digital Detectors).   No matter what you own, the XLT can
    compliment them all.

    White's M6 and MXT  E Series...
    Comments: With its 14.7 kHz frequency, sharing the same horsepower as MXT, the M6 adds seven tones of target ID in addition to
    the highest visual resolution you can find in a metal detector, 190 segments.    The MXT, considered by many as the BEST hybrid for
    serious Electronic Prospecting, Relic Hunting or Coin and Jewelry Hunting offers additional features like Separate Programs that
    change the visual display.    The  3rd generation Dave Johnson engineered Ground Tracking System is considered by many the best
    on the market.   I was given the assignment to test the prototype MXT  various prototype chips in cooperation with White's Technical
    Engineering Staff culminating in a Ground Tracking System that sets the Standard from 2004 to Date.    White's MXT continues to be
    my most popular seller at Trans Bay Metal Detectors because of its ability to tackle virtually ever Surf and Turf situation.   The only
    thing it isn't is submergible like some of the specialty detectors.



    White’s Prizm II to T6...
    Comments: The Prizm line up which includes the Prizm II through the Prizm V enjoy the  same  horsepower.   You’re paying for the
    features which are turned on or off in the chip based on which models.   Nonetheless, the Prizm II operates at 8.2 kHz which offers an
    improved target response over the low conductive nickels and jewelry compared to the older technology  6.59 kHz Classic Series
    which were replaced by the Prizm Line up in 2004.   Prizm II is starting to get long in the tooth and lacking the features of others in this
    price range.     The Prizm III adds on the fly coin depth.   The Prizm IV is far more competitive but at 449.95 its out of this range.   On
    Trans Bay's 10" Test Nickel, the audio response was consistent visual and audio.  Compared with detectors up to $1200.00 which
    struggled to hear this deepest target.    Part of the secret to the Prizm's effectiveness is it's ultra-smooth audio circuit and loud
    alert.    The new 4x6 Shooter Search Coil has been just introduced in 3/2009 and already, one customer of Trans Bay reported digging
    a dime (smallest USA coin) at 9".   Just Introduced, the All New Prizm T6 with Advanced Ground Tracking, and so many features, you
    must see to believe.... www.whiteselectronics.com.   One of my favorites with the Highest Fun Factor in the metal detecting industry
    in a detector under $700.00.   See what folks are saying at White's Treasure Net, General Forum.


White's NEWEST, the Coinmaster
Comments:  Priced at well below $200.00, the Coinmaster enjoys all the horse power of the Prizm II, III, IV and V with an ultra smooth
frequency sensitive to BOTH Gold and Silver.   It also has coin depth and Trans Bay has sold dozens of these units to very satisfied
customers.   Some get into the hobby, they have come back for a second or third detector.   

SO.... If your not sure whether this hobby is for you, or you want to get an entry level detector with experienced professional performance
way in excess of  95% of the other detectors on the market, you can't beat White's Coinmaster.   On my Deep nickel, the Coinmaster was
able to hear it both in the Discrimination and All Metal Mode.   I compared it against Top of the Line Detectors from other companies and it
scored #1 in terms of signal strength and freedom from Electrical interference.

Latest HORROR Story....
Today, a Gentlemen showed up unexpectedly w/o an appointment and seemed confused... after some nervous
hesitation he told me "My son wanted a White's Metal Detector but when I called Kellyco, they talked me into a
Minelab 305 and I'm having second thoughts so I found you locally on the Internet.   

My answer:  In my experience, White's Metal Detectors offer state of the art  superior performance at almost every
price point.    Unfortunately, you contacted them and spoke to an order taker that switched you over to a model  that
is more profitable for THEM.   You made a mistake by not dealing with me in the first place as i would have taken the
time to explain the differences and advantages.    I offer FREE lessons so when your son's ready, let me know.  You
can send the 305 back but they are going to sting you with restocking fees.   Be Careful and Merry Christmas. "
