Default My story

I wanted top share something with you guys about my good experiences with my detector company. As most of you know I am a faithful Whites user. I have never had one bad experience with this company.
My first post on this forum was the V-Nicke(1890) that I found a few weeks back. I know to the veteran metal detectors this may not seem like a great feat, but to me I was thrilled as kid on Christmas morning. I had found my first coin older than the 1900’s and I had found my first V-Nickel.
Needless to say I wrote a story to the Whites company about the find, and how pleased I was with there product. A few days later I got an e-mail from Whites asking if they could use my story. I of course said yes . That week I received a letter in the mail box with a gift certificate for $200.00 towards whites accessories. I was so grateful for there gratitude toward the story I wanted to share it with you guys.
This is not the only thing they have done for me. A few months ago my detector bag zipper broke. I called whites asked them what I need to do they said nothing. Just give us your address we will send you another one. I said do I need to mail the old one back. Nope they said you keep it sorry for your inconvenience. We will take care of the shipping as well Thank you Mr. Lane. I was blown away by the great service.
Just My opinion guys if you want to buy a great detector for a good price and get the service that companies use to give when are parents where young. Just visit www.whiteselectronics.com. I’m positive they will take great care of you

Thanks Will Lane

PS Sorry if I have offended anyone with this story just want to show my gratitude, and I’m not knocking any other detector company!

Great story Will Stick with them bud, their good people and have very good detectors. I've used their detectors for over 20 years but now use the Minelab EX II.

Hey Gary and Will, are you two getting together to detect? If so be sure to take pictures of your outing!!!!!

Yah Greg,
I drove down to Jackson and met up with Will. We had a great time. He showed me where the city street dept. dug up a cashe of gold coins repairin a street bout 20 years ago. Had my mouth waterin. We also went to a small block that a tornado had razed.They had torn down the biuldings to build a church. It had rained all night and most of the lot was under water. we still managed to find a few coins. Will found a great token. I'll let him post it,and tell the story.(He came along right behind me and pulled this token out almost in my tracks) We went to some old houses that was from the old country. I had a super time and hope he invites me back. Thanks Will for puttin up with this old hillbilly all day. Hurry up and post that token. Thank you also Greg for this great forum. This is so refreshin to read these storys and bein able to post about our meager finds without worrying about someone "Loadin" on us. My best find all day in my opinion was a VW Beetle toy car. I'm a coin man but here lately I've been findin a lot of these old cars,and I'm likin it.
