Sad to know they are gone.
Loved the tour!
I've been using White's machines exclusively for 35 years. 6000 Di Pro, Spectrum, DFX, Beach Hunter ID, and V3i...still using BH & v3i. Glad to see all is made with US pride.
Would like to see a water-proof "v4i" which includes higher frequency for small gold n chains.
Thank you White's for putting so many Americans to work, and for providing the best customer service in the world. White's quality reputation is what originally made me buy a White's detector, but the incredible customer service is what has made me buy THREE White's detectors.
+AndTheCorrectAnswerIs Thank YOU for being a great customer. We will uphold our reputation for great customer service as long as people are still metal detecting.
I toured the factory several years ago, this was a nice refresher from that. thanks for making them in America!
Wow!! What a great tour! It's amazing how much goes into building a metal detector from scratch. Thank you.
Very impressed I own 2 Whites XLTs, 2 Eagle II SL's and a Whites TM 808. I have to say that I have been a fan of Whites Electronics Metal Detectors for a long time and have followed their progress through out the years and always known that they have lead the future in metal detectors. I a have more than 30 years of electronic manufacturing experience as a senior electronic technician and 20 years of that was FAA environment. I have to say that this company is very well equipped with the right tools, technology and most importantly a very good safety mechanism in place to protect the employees. I give Whites Electronics 5 stars out of 5 for Quality, Technology and safety. From a satisfied customer for more than 25 years. Keep up the good work. Marc Rosas Tucson Az.
I had a old 4900d coinmaster, incredible machine. Itching to get my mx sport, you folks don't disappoint.
amazing ...i have been a mxt user for a long time my new machine arrives this week,over the moon!
I LOVED my Eagle Spectrum. I used it for years and had only one problem with the screen. Sent it in, White's repaired it for free, shipped it back to me and never had another problem from it. Now I am disabled and can't detect, I miss it horribly. White's is by far the best detector I've ever used and I had Fisher's, BH's and Garrett's. Quality machine, a little expensive, but it paid for itself in no time!!! Miss you, White's!!
I grew up in Oregon, started out in Lebanon....my dad always talked about White's metal detectors, as he knew the founder I believe. When I come back to Oregon, my next detector will be a White's. Nice tour!
Makes me proud to own a Whites! As a kid in the 1980s I had a realistic Radio Shack unit and I found my first coins with that. Then I had 2 green colored units in my younger years and I always wanted a Whites but they were a little more expensive. I would think someday I will get one... last year I got back into the hobby with my children and bought an MX Sport directly from Whites. I watched the Field Team on You Tube... Todd, Dave, Frankie, Mark, Dominique etc... and learned a lot. Dominique was super helpful in my purchase and has been supportive of my daughter who follows the Silverslingers. Someday in my work travels I hope to go to the factory... it seems really awesome. Made in USA and proud.
Whites fan for life!
i bought a second hand DFX 300...im so pleased with it and found rings already on the beach...wish i had bought one a long time ago !!! i feel white's machine's the best for the job.
About six months ago I was in Sweet Home and stoped by there. Although I didn’t see the production plant I did view their in-house detecting museum and product show room. In their showroom they had on display all their current detectors and a collection of test coins and objects that I could try with one of their displayed units. The folks there were very accommodating especially given the fact that I arrived in an 18wheel semi truck and they made parking for me. Now if you have never been to Sweet Home Oregon it happens to be a very beautiful place. Whites is easy to find just a few blocks off highway US-20. I know there is a vast choice of quality detectors, I own six detectors myself from various manufacturers and each has merits of their own but it’s my opinion based upon my experience that in terms of longevity, reliability and performance my two Whites detectors are my favorite.
Thanks for everything you've done for the detecting community. Ima ride this mx7 into the sunset 🌇
The best brand of metal detectors💪🏻😍. I fell in love with your products and I do not intend to change my feelings. I will be faithful to my DFX until the end. The information about the end of the company's activity completely depressed me (on my birthday😔). I strongly believe that there will be a reactivation one day. Greetings from Poland👋🏻🇵🇱🇺🇸
Very impressive. Love the quality control. I now I have to consider whites for my next detector.
Very nice tour! I miss the working in a "family" shop environment. Love the Faraday cage for final testing. Figures you guys are on the opposite coast. That's a cool trick to get by counterfeiting.
+Trooper Bri we're on the best coast - WEST COAST
I lived in sweet home as a little boy in the 60's, remember walking by the shop on the main drag there, seeing that coinmaster in the window made me want to get one, columbus day storm 1962, never forget that one.
Thanks for watching. Happy Hunting!
Hoping Whites can continue under another ownership. Whites was state of the art, American made, in business since 1950, and will truly be missed. Repairs and warranties were 100% quality. Thank you owners and staff(s) of Whites through the ages.
Great tour. Whites makes the best detectors. I personal have owned 3 whites detectors. Wes is a great dealer for Whites here in the Mid West Chicago area. Good job.
Thanks for the tour now I know how yall do it ,interesting viewing
Great video!! I love being part of the whites family using such a great machine the mx sport
This was cool, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
+chasiu75 Thanks for watching. Our customers who live far away have shown an interest in how the machines are made. Seemed like a good idea to show.
I was happy to see the TRX being made. I just ordered one to replace my original Bullseye that has a broken switch.
I have been a White's user since around 1976. I have used other brands also as i needed to find out if there were better choices. My favorite of all time was the 4900 Di Pro... But now i use my MX Sport more than my V3i. I can't wait til i can get a TDI Beach Hunter. Hope to see them released soon. I am moving to the Tampa area in the spring so i have time , getting old and the cold weather sucks. Thanks for the video !!!!
Made in the USA! Love it, and my V3i!
Very cool, thanks for the tour
Thank You So Very Much ..... ALL the employees who make the White's Metal Detectors.... It's an Awesome Valuable, Tool / Electronic Machine..... Please Keep Up the Greatness!!! >Wayne Berry< I've been detecting 30 + years All whites detectors.
( Actual only three in 3 decades). The 4000 D coin master.... The Spectrum Eagle..... And Recently The MX7.
This video makes me feel even better about owning a Whites machine. I love the fact that you guys make them here in the US in a small factory instead of outsourcing like most companies. You know when you buy a Whites machine that your buying a quality product that someone took pride in making. My MXT Pro might be a little heavier and not as "pretty" as some Chinese made detectors but that's what made me decide to go with it, the fact that it's rugged and will probably last my lifetime and the fact of you have the best customer service. I wish more companies would operate like you guys.
+Chris Cowie Thanks. Our machines definitely have "character." When people ask "Why don't you make machines that look more like ____'s detectors?" the answer is easy: then they wouldn't be a White's Detector anymore.
+White's Electronics, Inc. However I tend to like the look and feel of the new MX Sport, may have to get one of my own very soon :)
As an MX Sport owner, I can tell you that it's an awesome detector! It does it all!
I need to come visit soon. I live so close and haven't been to Sweet Home yet. Thanks for the tour.
Please do!
@@WhitesElectronics1950 I'll need to take a week day off to come there. Your not open on the weekends are you.
Great to see the inside and how the team do their craftsmanship. Tip I did see in an aircraft manufacturing place. An autocrad machine hooked up to a 3D printer, It was used for engineers before they went to a tool shop and said the part should look like this. The tool shop personal had a printed version of what the part should look like. Just when I see your tool shop that cad and 3D printer could make life easier for the team.
Really loved the vid and look in the kitchen of White's :D! Very interesting :)
Wow, nice !
If I was in Oregon it would be my dream job. The $2 Bill trick....amazing. That was wild. Thanks for the tour.
+88schwyptrlcar Sure thing. If you ever find yourself in Sweet Home, Oregon stop by for a REAL tour.
Brought back some memories when I toured the facility didn't look like it changed much I'm sure more depts and tech has been added but the familiarity was there. Any plans to relocate or build another state of the art facilities? Oh and just curious where are the little speakers from that are in those detectors? Thanks again keep making mds whites!! You guys rock!
Thanks for This nice video . I notice that all the employees work in a cool environment . This is why I appreciate your products . And most of all I like my TDI SL very much .
A nice day to everyone .
My set up is a Treasure Pro, a TRX, a Digmaster, and the UltraLite Headphones. All White's products and they're all awesome. I have not had a single issue with any of them. Once I am able to I'll be upgrading to the MX Sport.
+Cory Keeler No rush on the upgrade, for now you have a great combo with that setup.
Thanks for the tour, what an eye opening video with so much of your product really made 'in house' unlike so many companies these days your quality control would be alot better!
I love the your Tdi series of pulse induction detectors, they are one of only a few detectors that can truly tame australian gold field soil.
ps im looking forward to a revised version of the tdi, i'd be one of the first fo buy and review ;)
+Outdoorsaustralia If you like the TDI, stay tuned to our channel...
Awesome video, I enjoyed the tour. I have the Whites V3i and the new MX Sport. Both detectors are awesome! Whites Electronics Inc. is the #1 leader in metal detectors. Thanks again!
+MD Treasure Hunter Valley Thanks for the comment. How are you liking the MX Sport?
+White's Electronics, Inc. The MX Sport is very comfortable when detecting, pinpointing is very accurate. I've detected in a park and it preformed wonderfully. I have not tryed the detector in the water as of yet, just as soon as the weather warms up I will be hitting the lakes and streams with the MX sport.
Спасибо, было интересно) Успехов в работе!)
+MegaLiquidMusic Спасибо , удачи охоты
Nice tour.
Very good
Instablaster
Great tour nice to see how there made , I bought an xlt second hand and it's a great machine , I'm in Wales England and can't wait to get the mx sport , whites all the way for me
+Andrew Colella Thanks! Have you ever been to the White's facility in Inverness?
+White's Electronics, Inc. thanks for your reply , no I haven't been to Inverness that is a long way from me , maybe one day I will get the chance , I'm trying to fly the flag for whites in Wales
Diolch!
Hello, I am from NSW, Australia, WHITE'S Best of all and High Quality most excellent machine,
I have 7 Whites metal detectors: Coinmaster 2/D-SOLD, 5000/D-SOLD,
Beachcomber 5/D-SOLD, CM GEB 5H/D Supreme-KEEP, CM 6000/D S2-KEEP, P1000-KEEP and Goldmaster V/Sat-KEEP. This Whites right price I trust and I was unhappy with Minelab lots of money. Thanks to Whites for video.
I have two Whites machines and love them. Love the fact they were made in the USA. So sorry to see them go out of business. Wonder if it was Covid that put them under like so many other companies? Too bad, made a great product.
i OWN A WHITES PRIZM AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT :)
+Pixel Power GOOD TO HEAR!
Very Nice!!
What mesh do you use for you silk screening. Just wondering .
This is great! Thanks for posting.... It would be cool to see the CAD room and software/firmware design phase too. I'm curious what operating system your developers work in when developing the software and firmware for White's detectors.
+Jim M The engineers have locked us out of AREA 51 unfortunately. There have been some... interesting sounds coming from their building....
Same!
is there any further information elsewhere that can speak to the software you write or the languages you use? DSP, C??
I love my white's metal detector my dad bought it for me in 1975, I think it's called an Alaskan gold master the probe's separate from the controller it works great still at 45 years old
Very informative...thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Franklin Lv. I'm here, too. I'm starting the hobby of detectorism. Thanks for your support on my channel. Hugs
I would like to see what models were made starting with the XLT that I bought and still use..I like the faraday cage.
wow what a video....i make my own hobby detectors and to work in a place like that making detectors is like detector heaven...thanks for the video !!!! whites the best detectors in the world by far !!!!
+david hodgkinson Send us your resume if you're interested. We love getting new ideas in the place.
The factory tour was pretty cool! I just got done watching the Garrett one, that was cool too! I do not have a White's, I have an Ace 250, AT Pro & CTX3030. Even though I don't have a White's, I don't go hating and any detector, I'd have no problem owning a White's, XP, Fisher, though my bank acct has an issue with it!
Im looking for my 2nd detector, a MineLab e-trac. But I've been checking out the V3i as well. I didn't know all the production was done at Whites. Seriously, how do you guys keep the price down on your machines?
Im really interested in the V3i now
Great tour, I see that all your Whites detectors are well built made in the USA with nothing but the best parts, Not like the competition using made in China parts with USA Stickers & packaging boxes, I think with video people will have more respect for Whites Metal detectors, The truly American made metal detector thanks for sharing
+cdntreasurehunter Thanks for watching. We try to make the best of the best, and our employees are a huge part of that.
What a shame this magnificent company is no longer in business. It used to be such a thrill to see what new whites models were coming out onto the market. I've spent countless thousands of dollars over the years buying new whites detectors and would have gladly spent much more in the future. Sadly, that time has now passed and whites is no longer part of any of those much anticipated purchases. It's like losing an old friend and many of us whites fans cannot help but feel that this companys demise could have and should have been avoided
We’re do you get the batteries packs from none on eBay. For whites 6000 Di series 3 coinmaster. Lots of people want these. ?
So cool
Very nice. I like the 2 dollar bill I.D.
That was very informative. I own the v3i and have had a difficult time using other name brand headphones. the wireless set that came with my machine does fine . Although when trying out my grayghost and black widow set on my v3i I can't get either one to work properly. The same headphones work perfectly on my other detectores ctx, xterra 705 . If I partially Insert the headphones to my v3i I can get a better response , but if I fully insert the headphones I get lots of interference, chattering and low volume. Why change from wireless to wired headphones, sometimes the batteries go bad and having a wired set is always a good backup. Any info in possibly correcting my wired headphone issue would be great . Thank you Big Mex
Hey Big Mex. Can you try the same headphones in Mixed Mode Stereo?
@@WhitesElectronics1950 sure thing. Thank you for quick response. I'm very impressed.
impressive work shop
I'm new to whites and it's nice to see that each piece is made in house unlike garrett where parts are pulled out of boxes that are made over seas and put together by mindless employees that can't speak English. as you can see I'm a disgruntled garrett customer who has jumped ship and paddled over to the whites side . NOW THAT'S FUNNY !!!! .
We'll throw ya a life preserver! We are the biggest employer in our small town, lots of pickups in the parking lot. Need to take a tally on how many Chevys and Fords, think it might be a tie!
White's Electronics, Inc. well I'm a Ford man but just as long as it American made I'm good with it . 60 is knocking on my backdoor and I can remember everything I touched and put in my big round belly as a kid was made or grown on American soil back when the skies where blue and you could drink from the creeks and streams and everyone rushed home for dinner every night . my God what have we've done to our country ! OK I'm done with my rant now
FordFracture, I think Whites makes a topnotch product. I've got an M6 which I love. I've also got a Garrett AT Pro and its a fine machine that I'll keep from now on. I live near the Garrett Factory, and every time I go over there, they have treated me with politeness and class. Garrett also makes a fine product. I think calling people you don't even know mindless on a public forum is pretty crappy. I have to believe that anyone who works in a metal detecting factory, regardless of the brand, has to be a very knowledgeable and smart person to do what they do.
horseman528 well buddy they treated me like crap I think your a fucking ass kisser and a fucking shit head
You just proved my point.
wow, this is making me ptoud i bought an mx7. american made all the way! this vid reminds me of my shop lol
Swimmingly good show!
I graduated from sweet home I didn't know you use a two dollar bill for a serial number that's cool
Good day sir ...do you have availables parts of white Treasuremaster Tm 600 Series 2...thank you for the responce....
What metal detectors are made in America,, any ,, because I thought fisher was ? But isn’t, just wondering? Anyone know?
Beautifull cience
So sad they're gone.
Is museum existing now?
De la belle fabrication whites
@9:51I'm really good with attention to detail, I noticed that foam grip you showed us was split 🤦... and wait a minute can you please explain about the $2 bill ,I understand you match the serial numbers but are you giving the customer that $2 bill and where are you getting that many $2 bills 🤷 I've so many questions about that LOL
What type of mesh do you use for your silk screening
The good kind
White's Electronics, Inc. I'm in screen printing also. We use sati mesh.
Отличная фирма !!!!!!
So....where is the punishment room...?
What our employees do on their own time in their own homes is none of our business!
WHITES!! Please listen to your customer base and release the Tdi Pro again. The tdi sl just doesnt go as deep as the old pro!!! Also make a beachunter machine that has the depth of the pro and theylll sell like hotcakes!!!
Thank you so much sir. I like it. I am in Inadia. I think nagat hantin white 24K this is bast
Whites top j’aime

Очень интересно!
Спасибо за видео.
Сделайте пожалуйста v3i с маленьким весом и литиевыми аккумуляторами.
the place of metal detecting dreams
Molto interessante video,Guardato con interesse, Saluti Ciao Endriu
Grazie!
Made in America!!!! Awesome to see a prosperous, high quality company.
I don't understand the counterfeiting prevention. Each unit ships with a $2 bill?
Harder to counterfeit $2 bill (rare) than a metal detector.
It's a novel idea.
Great tour video.
Quero um detector desse e se possível ser representante desse equipamento aqui no Brasil
Wow...after that tour i don't feel so bad about paying $130 to $160. for a slightly used Garrett ACE 250, i have 5 of them.
I've owned and used six different Whites machines. The only one I didn't like the the MX5...
Kick Ass!
Too bad you went out of business...I had just bought a GMX Sport and now I have no support or any chance of warranty....
Centreville Electronic in Manassas Va. Is /was the certified repair dealer for Whites. Bob and Paul can still has plenty of parts for any repairs. Hated to hear about Whites closing.
Very Impressive! I share my pride for my White's detectors with the pride you all built into them.
Защита с помощью 2 $ купюр изящна и практична!
Jesus look at those antiques they were producing. No wonder they went out of business. Rip american jobs.
Sadly it all belongs to Garrett now
They will be next. UNLESS they get with the times and start producing modern detectors that are lightweight, rechargeable, and have the features buyers want. The odds are really stacked against them.
Слабенькие детекторы. Nokta/Macro значительно превосходят детекторы данного производителя.
покажите как в китае делают все аппараты , а потом в Россию их продаёте за ебенячие деньги . м спорт по показателям вроде не плохой аппарат но сраное китайское исполнение всё портит , сделайте из качественного пластика и убавьте вес прибора и всё будет -заебись !
لدى شركة وايتس افضل مهندسين متميزين وذلك يظهر في الاجهزه التي صمموها فاجهزتهم لها ميزه في التعريف الدقيق لنوع المعدن ...سمعنا ان الشركه قد اغلقت ابوابها
وهذه خساره للأجيال القادمه
That’s great and all. But what about the technology everybody else’s blows yours way I have to V3i , but it seems everybody else is outperforming my V3iI thought was a top-notch Metal detector but everybody else I’ve got friends of mine cheaper units are working better I’m having to switch brands. I’m a third-generation whites user and I’m sorry I’m gonna have to switch and less something better a whole lot better comes out soon. I also have eight over units of Whites Metal Detcector‘s you member the old Alaskan I got one of them too but you guys say you won’t work on it anymore for me oh well I think it was the best performing . white needs to get with the program build something to keep up current technology is there any information about new Metal detectors from whites
Poor after-sales
Another American company out of business.
