Ok Well if anyone sees someone out in the bush looking like this let them know.

Wonder if this guy knows his coil is missing

Back in 2016 this one was found where it shows, don't believe it was lost?
Have never seen this model coil before or since?

It's from a Mid 1980's Whites VLF by the look of it,

Know it well ..... belongs to this Whites Coinmaster 6/DBH .... circa late 1970's or thereabouts. Check out the discrimination options "Foil, P. Tabs, S Caps, Nails" .....

Cheers T.

Goldtrapper. The whites 6DB was my first detector too. My wife and I found heaps of big nuggets with it. Early 80s. there was a lot of big gold around then. It had no depth ,but all the gold was shallow back then. I still use it for looking for coins and pinpointing in deep holes dug using the Z. This detector found so much gold for us I'll never sell it! wiley.

I got a Di 5900Pro, It is about the most powerful VLF ever made, It has some fancy tricks up it's sleeve that newer machines just can't do. and it has More Horsepower. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Yeah sure, I bought from the original owner who had never used it, I checked with Whites in Scotland and they told me how old it is and when it was sold.

It's The Whites 5900Di Pro Plus,

My parents bought a whites Coinmaster 5000d back in the late 70s and my grandmother and her friend bought another one around the same time. One was made in USA and the other made in Scotland. Neither were worth a cracker in the Vic goldfield mineralization, (rushworth) but they were good coin machines in quite ground. I found a 9ct gold mens signet ring with one of them. and another time a penny directly under a bridge spike. Detector was set high on discriminate at the time and I couldnt understand why it sounded good on the bridge spike until I scanned the hole again and dug the coin.

I once found a coil in Bendigo...but thats a whole other story.... layful:

Perhaps the mods could start a vintage detector thread and split this one into 2

The 5900Di Pro can work bad ground, With modern machines you can ground balance them but they still suffer from ground noise with the 5900 it can be tuned out completely and you can tune it like you do a GPX to get rid of outside noises, And the Depth you get on a modern machine with an 18" Coil the 5900 will do it with the factory coil and still have room to spare, :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Mine was made in July 1989. :Y:

We cannot split a thread as it causes quite a few problems.

Suggest you start a new thread and those who post in it,
let me know and I will clean this one out.
