Cherished Memories Returned

"It took John Polcyn 15 years, but a recent trip to Maumee Bay State Park to search the area with his metal detector yielded his most cherished find ever.

When he dug a few inches into the dirt and found a memory card from a camera, it seemed like a relatively routine thing. He planned to use the card in his own camera when he went on vacation.

Then he plugged it into his computer, looked more closely, and realized he had something far more precious -- at least to one local family."

"Ten thousand times every year, Dwight Reed drops to his knees when the hum in his headphones hits a certain pitch, carves up a divot of earth with a hand spade and coaxes something metal out of the soil.

It might be a diamond ring, but usually it's a penny or a bottle cap.

Either way, Reed is perfectly content: Metal detecting, for this long-time Vista resident, is retirement."

White's Blue & Gray

I came across this image and thought it a ruse... I couldn't have been more mislead. I've never heard of this little known White's variation on their 5900 / 6000 / XL Pro models. Do any of my readers own one? Known someone who does?

I'd like to know more about it if anyone has info to offer, thanks :)

Seems to be the perfect machine for you relic hunters out there scouring CW sites!
