Got Questions?
This section covers the most common questions people ask about these detection devices.
Detection depth varies based on the target size and ground conditions. Small items like coins can typically be found 6-8 inches down, while larger objects may be detected at depths of 12-18 inches or more. Highly mineralized soil can reduce these ranges.
To maintain the products, simply follow the care instructions provided. Most items can be wiped down with a damp cLower frequencies work better for detecting larger, deeper targets and are less affected by mineralized ground. Higher frequencies are more sensitive to smaller objects near the surface but may struggle in challenging soil conditions. Many models offer multiple frequency options for different hunting scenarios.loth, and some may require occasional deep cleaning depending on use.
Most modern detectors include discrimination features that help identify different types of metals. The device analyzes the electrical conductivity of targets and provides audio tones or visual displays to suggest what type of metal has been detected. However, no system is 100% accurate, and ground conditions can affect performance.
Battery life depends on the model and usage patterns. Most units run for 8-15 hours on a full charge or fresh batteries. Features like backlighting, GPS, and wireless audio will drain power faster. Many detectors include low-battery indicators to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Waterproof ratings vary by model. Some units are fully submersible for underwater detecting, while others are only splash-resistant or have waterproof search coils with non-waterproof control boxes. Always check the specific IP rating before using the device near or in water.

Who We Are
For over five decades, Whites has been the name treasure hunters trust when the hunt matters most. We started in a small Oregon workshop back in 1950, building metal detectors that could actually find what you’re looking for – not just beep at every bottle cap in the ground. What began as one man’s obsession with better detection technology has grown into the detector of choice for everyone from weekend coin shooters to professional prospectors pulling gold out of remote mountain streams.
We’re not the flashiest brand on the market, and that’s exactly how we like it. While others chase trends, we focus on what actually works: precise discrimination, reliable depth, and machines that won’t quit on you when you’re miles from the nearest road. Every detector we build gets put through the kind of real-world testing that only comes from decades of listening to people who spend their weekends elbow-deep in dirt, chasing signals that might just change their lives.
The truth is, we could probably make our detectors cheaper, but we’d rather make them right. When you’re out there at dawn, following a promising signal into thick brush, you need gear that works as hard as you do. That’s why we still hand-test every unit, still use materials that cost more but last longer, and still design our machines for the kind of punishment that comes with serious treasure hunting. Because finding that first silver coin, that lost ring, that piece of history – that moment when your detector locks onto something real – that’s what this is all about.

Found my first civil war button with the MXT All Pro last weekend. The discrimination settings helped me skip all the bottle caps and go straight to the good stuff. Three hours in and I had enough relics to make the whole trip worthwhile.

Beach hunting has never been easier since switching to the TreasurePro. Yesterday I pulled two gold rings from the wet sand that other detectors completely missed. The waterproof design means I can hunt right through the surf zone.

Been using Whites detectors for over 15 years, and the new Coinmaster hits deeper than anything I’ve owned. Last month I recovered a seated liberty quarter at 11 inches in mineralized soil. The audio tones are so clear you know exactly what you’ve got before you dig.
