White's Treasure Stories!

Last winter I met some folks that told me about Dome Rock in Quartzsite, Arizona, where the ground is covered with quartz and you can still find gold nuggets! So I bought my White's GMT last January from Kellyco and started hunting around Quartzsite - out in the desert - from January through the last part of March. It gets WAY too hot to stay in Arizona in the summer time, but when it's cooler I take my GMT with the DD search coil and my pinpointer out as far as possible.

It took me a few days of trying before I finally figured out that I should get off the desert floor and up into the dry washes of the mountains. Now I pretty much avoid areas where humans can live or camp, so if something "beeps" I know it is worth diggin' for. And for me, that is in the dry washes. If you get down lower most of the targets are foil, and while I did find an old bullet one time, I've dug enough foil to keep me out of the desert forever!

But it didn't take long for my White's GMT to find the nuggets up high! I've found a lot of these in and around Quartzsite. I found a 2.3 gram nugget I wrapped in a "nugget spider." The others range in size from tiny to an inch long! But the best part is that I keep finding them!

White’s Batteries and Chargers

The heart beat of your metal detector is the battery. Weather or not you have a rechargeable system or standard components, any detectorist must include this essential item in their treasure hunting arsenal. Having extra batteries with you can be the difference between a half day and a full day in the field.

• Alkaline: The standard battery, available in multiple sizes, that can be purchased just about anywhere. Most detectors will run off 8 AA batteries or 1-2 9 volt batteries. There are also rechargeable alkaline batteries available.

• NiCAD: Nickel-cadmium batteries that are rechargeable. These batteries will last longer than alkalines as you can recharge them multiple times. They last even longer than rechargeable alkaline batteries.

• NiMh: Nickel metal hydride batteries are also rechargeable and last longer than either alkaline or NiCAD batteries.
