Whites DFX Metal Detector review

Filed under Metal Detecting, Metal Detector Reviews, Metal Detector Videos by on . Comment.

The Whites DFX is being called by many ” The Finest all around metal detector”. But does it really live up to this bold title?

 The Whites DFX comes with nine turn and go program modes that even the first time detectorist can use. But the beauty is in it’s customization and once it is mastered it is hard to find another metal detector that rivals it.

White’s has a reputation amongst metal detectorists as manufacturing some of the best machines money can buy and they should. They have been making metal detectors since 1950. I will do the math for you. At the time of this review that is 59 years! With that much experience you know that they have learned a thing or two and their knowledge and wisdom has gained them much well earned respect. Quite simply they do make great metal detectors and they stand behind them with a two year warranty and customer support that is second to none!

The Whites DFX has a High Definition display with double clock speed and lightning fast taget response. This is a great feature and should be on every Metal Detector. Let’s look at some of the other great features that the White’s DFX has to offer.

  1. Multiple Frequency Operation allowing you to hunt two different frequencies simultaneously.
  2. Pro Hunting Programs and the ability to erase, create and share your own.
  3. DSF Signal Filtration : Change your ground filtering at will, from 2 filters to 6. Use 2 for quick response in high trash areas or 3, 4, 5, up to 6 for superior depth in mineralized grounds.
  4. Sweep Speed Adjust : Use higher sweep settings to go quickly through an area with minimal targets or use the lower sweep speed setting for areas that have an adudance of targets.
  5. Hot Rock Rejection : This allows you to completely ignore those pesky rocks that sometimes give good signals.
  6. White’s Exclusive Signagraph : This allows you to see how deep the target is before digging.
  7. 10 basic adjustments and 34 pro settings : Customize every thing on this detector. All settings are fully customizable.
  8. Automatic Ground Balance
  9. Ni-cad Battery. Don’t worry about buying replacements all the time.
  10. Coil changes and upgrades. You can purchase different coils for the DFX. This is always a plus!
So what’s underneath all of these fancy settings, bells and whistles? A great metal detector that really goes deep for coins and jewelry while ignoring iron and other junk that could have you digging holes all day long. Remember time not spent digging up junk is time spent finding and digging up the real treasure!
Quite simply this metal detector is worth every penny and works great! It goes deep and helps recover the smallest of items that other metal detectors simply can not! The battery pack lasts long and this metal detector is rugged and built to withstand abuse.

Garrett ACE 250 Finds Indian Penny

Filed under Metal Detecting, Metal Detector Finds by on . Comment.

Sometimes doing a little bit of research can help you find old treasure and that’s just what I did and My Garret Ace 250 found a first.

I love searching for and finding old coins, you could call it a hobby, addiction or obsession it doesn’t really matter. The fact is I enjoy collecting coins and finding a nice old coin with your Metal detector is a blast. They do make metal detectors that specialize in finding coins but my Garrett ACE 250 seems to get the job done quite well.

I did some research on a local area that I know has a little bit of history.  I used my computer to locate a historic area that I hoped had not been cleaned out. It was a strip of old railroad track that had at one time been a railroad station.  I also asked some locals that had been around for a while about this area and they told me what I wanted to hear and that was that at one point in time  there was a railroad station that was the central hub of this small town and it has long since been gone.

Upon arrival, I noticed that all that was left of the station were the train tracks. There was no building foundations or any signs that a train station had ever existed.  I cranked on my Garrett ACE 250 and started working the area over. It wasn’t long before I got my first signal. The LCD screen said it was a nickel just a few inches deep.  I dug a small plug and pulled out the nickel. It wasn’t old. I put it in my pouch and continued my search. I worked my way closer to the tracks. I searched for a long time and right when I was about to give up, I got a faint signal. The LCD screen said it was a penny at over 8 inches deep. I will dig up anything even pennies because you never know. I dug a plug and searched the hole. No beep. The coin must be in the plug. I carefully pulled the small plug of earth apart and out pops an INDIAN HEAD PENNY! See it helps to do a little bit of research!
