I am not familiar with the whites classic, I believe it is a good machine.............but I would be wary about buying from someone who knows nothing about it, does he say it belongs to him!!!!!!!!

Its not stolen..Lady is older and not mechanicly inclined.

Looks like this model does not display the depth of the target.Anyone ever use one?

Hi Diggerbarns,

The Classic IDX is a 2 filter, single tone detector that uses 8 AA batts. The detector requires a moderate to slow swing speed for best target separation and has a quick recovery reset. Uses the same coils as the XLT. There is NO depth reading but there is some audio modulation so deeper targets become a bit softer.

The IDX has the ability to ID targets in all metal and the outstanding Black Sand mode allows a more refined lower band discrimination at iron infested sites.

I paid $275 for an excellent condition IDX Pro about 3 years ago and would think the factory IDX should go for $200-$225 in prime condition and less if well used. Great detector at sites with low density modern trash. Just a few thoughts. HH Bill
