White's Pro XL 6000
We
bought this metal detector because we both wanted to search the land, and
sometimes we couldn't get into the water. Why did we choose the White's Pro
XL 6000? We liked the looks of it, and the fact that you didn't have to scroll
through lots of buttons to change something, like you do on the XLT. It takes
a little getting used to, but it has worked out fine. My wife has come along
behind me when I was using the Spectrum, and found things with it that I missed.
I feel the PRO XL has a little more depth than the XLT.
One thing bad about my unit is that the knobs are loose on it, and when I
adjust something, I have to be careful not to hit it with my arm, because
then I have to reset it. So I put a rubber band around the knobs to keep them
from moving so loosely. I don't know if this problem is the same for all the
PRO XL units.
We've read the manual and tried all the other modes but we still keep going
back to the factory preset. The meter is easy to figure out, and it has a
pinpointer that will tell you how deep your target is. One noticable aggravation
is if you use it at hunts, where there is other detectors within close range,
then the falsing is incredible. But we haven't found a detector yet that doesn't
do that.
