Loved the tour! I've been using White's machines exclusively for 35 years. 6000 Di Pro, Spectrum, DFX, Beach Hunter ID, and V3i...still using BH & v3i. Glad to see all is made with US pride. Would like to see a water-proof "v4i" which includes higher frequency for small gold n chains.
Thank you White's for putting so many Americans to work, and for providing the best customer service in the world. White's quality reputation is what originally made me buy a White's detector, but the incredible customer service is what has made me buy THREE White's detectors.
+AndTheCorrectAnswerIs Thank YOU for being a great customer. We will uphold our reputation for great customer service as long as people are still metal detecting.
Very impressed I own 2 Whites XLTs, 2 Eagle II SL's and a Whites TM 808. I have to say that I have been a fan of Whites Electronics Metal Detectors for a long time and have followed their progress through out the years and always known that they have lead the future in metal detectors. I a have more than 30 years of electronic manufacturing experience as a senior electronic technician and 20 years of that was FAA environment. I have to say that this company is very well equipped with the right tools, technology and most importantly a very good safety mechanism in place to protect the employees. I give Whites Electronics 5 stars out of 5 for Quality, Technology and safety. From a satisfied customer for more than 25 years. Keep up the good work. Marc Rosas Tucson Az.
I LOVED my Eagle Spectrum. I used it for years and had only one problem with the screen. Sent it in, White's repaired it for free, shipped it back to me and never had another problem from it. Now I am disabled and can't detect, I miss it horribly. White's is by far the best detector I've ever used and I had Fisher's, BH's and Garrett's. Quality machine, a little expensive, but it paid for itself in no time!!! Miss you, White's!!
I grew up in Oregon, started out in Lebanon....my dad always talked about White's metal detectors, as he knew the founder I believe. When I come back to Oregon, my next detector will be a White's. Nice tour!
Very nice tour! I miss the working in a "family" shop environment. Love the Faraday cage for final testing. Figures you guys are on the opposite coast. That's a cool trick to get by counterfeiting.
The best brand of metal detectors💪🏻😍. I fell in love with your products and I do not intend to change my feelings. I will be faithful to my DFX until the end. The information about the end of the company's activity completely depressed me (on my birthday😔). I strongly believe that there will be a reactivation one day. Greetings from Poland👋🏻🇵🇱🇺🇸
Hoping Whites can continue under another ownership. Whites was state of the art, American made, in business since 1950, and will truly be missed. Repairs and warranties were 100% quality. Thank you owners and staff(s) of Whites through the ages.
i bought a second hand DFX 300...im so pleased with it and found rings already on the beach...wish i had bought one a long time ago !!! i feel white's machine's the best for the job.
About six months ago I was in Sweet Home and stoped by there. Although I didn’t see the production plant I did view their in-house detecting museum and product show room. In their showroom they had on display all their current detectors and a collection of test coins and objects that I could try with one of their displayed units. The folks there were very accommodating especially given the fact that I arrived in an 18wheel semi truck and they made parking for me. Now if you have never been to Sweet Home Oregon it happens to be a very beautiful place. Whites is easy to find just a few blocks off highway US-20. I know there is a vast choice of quality detectors, I own six detectors myself from various manufacturers and each has merits of their own but it’s my opinion based upon my experience that in terms of longevity, reliability and performance my two Whites detectors are my favorite.
This video makes me feel even better about owning a Whites machine. I love the fact that you guys make them here in the US in a small factory instead of outsourcing like most companies. You know when you buy a Whites machine that your buying a quality product that someone took pride in making. My MXT Pro might be a little heavier and not as "pretty" as some Chinese made detectors but that's what made me decide to go with it, the fact that it's rugged and will probably last my lifetime and the fact of you have the best customer service. I wish more companies would operate like you guys.
+Chris Cowie Thanks. Our machines definitely have "character." When people ask "Why don't you make machines that look more like ____'s detectors?" the answer is easy: then they wouldn't be a White's Detector anymore.
Makes me proud to own a Whites! As a kid in the 1980s I had a realistic Radio Shack unit and I found my first coins with that. Then I had 2 green colored units in my younger years and I always wanted a Whites but they were a little more expensive. I would think someday I will get one... last year I got back into the hobby with my children and bought an MX Sport directly from Whites. I watched the Field Team on You Tube... Todd, Dave, Frankie, Mark, Dominique etc... and learned a lot. Dominique was super helpful in my purchase and has been supportive of my daughter who follows the Silverslingers. Someday in my work travels I hope to go to the factory... it seems really awesome. Made in USA and proud. Whites fan for life!
Great to see the inside and how the team do their craftsmanship. Tip I did see in an aircraft manufacturing place. An autocrad machine hooked up to a 3D printer, It was used for engineers before they went to a tool shop and said the part should look like this. The tool shop personal had a printed version of what the part should look like. Just when I see your tool shop that cad and 3D printer could make life easier for the team.
Brought back some memories when I toured the facility didn't look like it changed much I'm sure more depts and tech has been added but the familiarity was there. Any plans to relocate or build another state of the art facilities? Oh and just curious where are the little speakers from that are in those detectors? Thanks again keep making mds whites!! You guys rock!
I lived in sweet home as a little boy in the 60's, remember walking by the shop on the main drag there, seeing that coinmaster in the window made me want to get one, columbus day storm 1962, never forget that one.
I have been a White's user since around 1976. I have used other brands also as i needed to find out if there were better choices. My favorite of all time was the 4900 Di Pro... But now i use my MX Sport more than my V3i. I can't wait til i can get a TDI Beach Hunter. Hope to see them released soon. I am moving to the Tampa area in the spring so i have time , getting old and the cold weather sucks. Thanks for the video !!!!
Great tour. Whites makes the best detectors. I personal have owned 3 whites detectors. Wes is a great dealer for Whites here in the Mid West Chicago area. Good job.
Thanks for the tour, what an eye opening video with so much of your product really made 'in house' unlike so many companies these days your quality control would be alot better! I love the your Tdi series of pulse induction detectors, they are one of only a few detectors that can truly tame australian gold field soil. ps im looking forward to a revised version of the tdi, i'd be one of the first fo buy and review ;)
My set up is a Treasure Pro, a TRX, a Digmaster, and the UltraLite Headphones. All White's products and they're all awesome. I have not had a single issue with any of them. Once I am able to I'll be upgrading to the MX Sport.
Thank You So Very Much ..... ALL the employees who make the White's Metal Detectors.... It's an Awesome Valuable, Tool / Electronic Machine..... Please Keep Up the Greatness!!! >Wayne Berry< I've been detecting 30 + years All whites detectors. ( Actual only three in 3 decades). The 4000 D coin master.... The Spectrum Eagle..... And Recently The MX7.
Hello, I am from NSW, Australia, WHITE'S Best of all and High Quality most excellent machine, I have 7 Whites metal detectors: Coinmaster 2/D-SOLD, 5000/D-SOLD, Beachcomber 5/D-SOLD, CM GEB 5H/D Supreme-KEEP, CM 6000/D S2-KEEP, P1000-KEEP and Goldmaster V/Sat-KEEP. This Whites right price I trust and I was unhappy with Minelab lots of money. Thanks to Whites for video.
Thanks for This nice video . I notice that all the employees work in a cool environment . This is why I appreciate your products . And most of all I like my TDI SL very much . A nice day to everyone .
I have two Whites machines and love them. Love the fact they were made in the USA. So sorry to see them go out of business. Wonder if it was Covid that put them under like so many other companies? Too bad, made a great product.
I love my white's metal detector my dad bought it for me in 1975, I think it's called an Alaskan gold master the probe's separate from the controller it works great still at 45 years old
This is great! Thanks for posting.... It would be cool to see the CAD room and software/firmware design phase too. I'm curious what operating system your developers work in when developing the software and firmware for White's detectors.
Great tour nice to see how there made , I bought an xlt second hand and it's a great machine , I'm in Wales England and can't wait to get the mx sport , whites all the way for me
+White's Electronics, Inc. thanks for your reply , no I haven't been to Inverness that is a long way from me , maybe one day I will get the chance , I'm trying to fly the flag for whites in Wales
Awesome video, I enjoyed the tour. I have the Whites V3i and the new MX Sport. Both detectors are awesome! Whites Electronics Inc. is the #1 leader in metal detectors. Thanks again!
+White's Electronics, Inc. The MX Sport is very comfortable when detecting, pinpointing is very accurate. I've detected in a park and it preformed wonderfully. I have not tryed the detector in the water as of yet, just as soon as the weather warms up I will be hitting the lakes and streams with the MX sport.
Im looking for my 2nd detector, a MineLab e-trac. But I've been checking out the V3i as well. I didn't know all the production was done at Whites. Seriously, how do you guys keep the price down on your machines? Im really interested in the V3i now
What a shame this magnificent company is no longer in business. It used to be such a thrill to see what new whites models were coming out onto the market. I've spent countless thousands of dollars over the years buying new whites detectors and would have gladly spent much more in the future. Sadly, that time has now passed and whites is no longer part of any of those much anticipated purchases. It's like losing an old friend and many of us whites fans cannot help but feel that this companys demise could have and should have been avoided
wow what a video....i make my own hobby detectors and to work in a place like that making detectors is like detector heaven...thanks for the video !!!! whites the best detectors in the world by far !!!!
The factory tour was pretty cool! I just got done watching the Garrett one, that was cool too! I do not have a White's, I have an Ace 250, AT Pro & CTX3030. Even though I don't have a White's, I don't go hating and any detector, I'd have no problem owning a White's, XP, Fisher, though my bank acct has an issue with it!
Great tour, I see that all your Whites detectors are well built made in the USA with nothing but the best parts, Not like the competition using made in China parts with USA Stickers & packaging boxes, I think with video people will have more respect for Whites Metal detectors, The truly American made metal detector thanks for sharing
@9:51I'm really good with attention to detail, I noticed that foam grip you showed us was split 🤦... and wait a minute can you please explain about the $2 bill ,I understand you match the serial numbers but are you giving the customer that $2 bill and where are you getting that many $2 bills 🤷 I've so many questions about that LOL
That was very informative. I own the v3i and have had a difficult time using other name brand headphones. the wireless set that came with my machine does fine . Although when trying out my grayghost and black widow set on my v3i I can't get either one to work properly. The same headphones work perfectly on my other detectores ctx, xterra 705 . If I partially Insert the headphones to my v3i I can get a better response , but if I fully insert the headphones I get lots of interference, chattering and low volume. Why change from wireless to wired headphones, sometimes the batteries go bad and having a wired set is always a good backup. Any info in possibly correcting my wired headphone issue would be great . Thank you Big Mex
WHITES!! Please listen to your customer base and release the Tdi Pro again. The tdi sl just doesnt go as deep as the old pro!!! Also make a beachunter machine that has the depth of the pro and theylll sell like hotcakes!!!
I'm new to whites and it's nice to see that each piece is made in house unlike garrett where parts are pulled out of boxes that are made over seas and put together by mindless employees that can't speak English. as you can see I'm a disgruntled garrett customer who has jumped ship and paddled over to the whites side . NOW THAT'S FUNNY !!!! .
We'll throw ya a life preserver! We are the biggest employer in our small town, lots of pickups in the parking lot. Need to take a tally on how many Chevys and Fords, think it might be a tie!
White's Electronics, Inc. well I'm a Ford man but just as long as it American made I'm good with it . 60 is knocking on my backdoor and I can remember everything I touched and put in my big round belly as a kid was made or grown on American soil back when the skies where blue and you could drink from the creeks and streams and everyone rushed home for dinner every night . my God what have we've done to our country ! OK I'm done with my rant now
FordFracture, I think Whites makes a topnotch product. I've got an M6 which I love. I've also got a Garrett AT Pro and its a fine machine that I'll keep from now on. I live near the Garrett Factory, and every time I go over there, they have treated me with politeness and class. Garrett also makes a fine product. I think calling people you don't even know mindless on a public forum is pretty crappy. I have to believe that anyone who works in a metal detecting factory, regardless of the brand, has to be a very knowledgeable and smart person to do what they do.
Centreville Electronic in Manassas Va. Is /was the certified repair dealer for Whites. Bob and Paul can still has plenty of parts for any repairs. Hated to hear about Whites closing.
They will be next. UNLESS they get with the times and start producing modern detectors that are lightweight, rechargeable, and have the features buyers want. The odds are really stacked against them.
لدى شركة وايتس افضل مهندسين متميزين وذلك يظهر في الاجهزه التي صمموها فاجهزتهم لها ميزه في التعريف الدقيق لنوع المعدن ...سمعنا ان الشركه قد اغلقت ابوابها وهذه خساره للأجيال القادمه
покажите как в китае делают все аппараты , а потом в Россию их продаёте за ебенячие деньги . м спорт по показателям вроде не плохой аппарат но сраное китайское исполнение всё портит , сделайте из качественного пластика и убавьте вес прибора и всё будет -заебись !
That’s great and all. But what about the technology everybody else’s blows yours way I have to V3i , but it seems everybody else is outperforming my V3iI thought was a top-notch Metal detector but everybody else I’ve got friends of mine cheaper units are working better I’m having to switch brands. I’m a third-generation whites user and I’m sorry I’m gonna have to switch and less something better a whole lot better comes out soon. I also have eight over units of Whites Metal Detcector‘s you member the old Alaskan I got one of them too but you guys say you won’t work on it anymore for me oh well I think it was the best performing . white needs to get with the program build something to keep up current technology is there any information about new Metal detectors from whites
