Why would you own any other metal detector! I have owned one for about 8 or 9 years, which I purchased used. The other day, it started having problems. Since I was traveling down I-5 this week, I decided to take a detour to Sweet Home. The very friendly people at Whites told me that they would have a technician look at my detector. So, I handed them my detector and continued on my way. A couple hours later I stopped back by and asked if it was repairable. The nice lady behind the counter said yes and handed me my detector. Their detectors are 2nd to none and their service somehow even better. I’m still in shock. When I upgrade, It will definitely be a Whites.
