Hi White's friends,

About four months ago I was hunting for one hour in a big wood. Until then I hadn't found anything of interest, only trash. Finally, my White's Spectrum XLT made a very good and clear sound near a big chestnut tree.

I began digging with picks but I had trouble due to the big roots. I continued using only a long, strong and narrow dagger. I spent almost 20 minutes but finally, just under 12", I extracted from the roots the first object, my heart was beating fast! Finally, I held in my hands, an old bronze spoon. My efforts were rewarded! I passed the coil again over the hole. Another very good signal! I was surprised and excited. After 10 minutes of hard work, another spoon. Altogether four spoons, two of them in perfect condition. I suppose they're circa 1500. Who buried them and why? A mystery. No other signals around.

I've owned my Spectrum XLT for one year, I'm very satisfied with it. My four friends have the top of other's metal detectors but I think White's is the best for me...By the way, one month ago I bought the underwater White's Beachhunter.

Sincerely, Francis.
