Boy, That bring back memories. A couple of friends of mine used to go to old ball parks, rodeo area parking areas and coin hunt. One thing about this metal detector is when you would get a "hit" you could be pin pointed at the "WE" on the head of the detector. With the new ones they have to use a probe to find the pull tab :-). I bet we found enough aluminum pull taps to fill a boat! We found our share of rings, coins and junk. It was exciting just to find a penny. That was something that someone lost and we found. We used screw drivers to dig up the money since the 66-TR could pin point the item. Thanks for this video.

We used them to hunt on school grounds, old bingo places. One thing I liked about this is when you got a hit it would be right over the White Logo. You did not need for a separate probe. They used a lot of AA batteries. This technology really came a long way in the past 45 years. You don't see many people coin hunting any more.

I like the older Whites because they will accept the modern batterries as long as one uses the battery boxes. Some used the older 67.5 volt lantern batteries but nowadays, one has to re-wire these kind, just so they can accept a different battery layout and with modern batteries and connections. A (big) job and one that's not easy. Don't even think one could fit enough 9-volts or whatever kind would be needed to add up to 67.5 volts, into these type detectors. Garrett's old ADS Deepseeker(a very deep detector, even by today's standards), used 6 9-volts in tandem, in a slide-in tray. Well, needless to say, one would need to replace the whole bank after pretty much every outing, LOL. BUT, it can airtest detect a dime at 12.5"! Quite stout by even today's standards. Never owned or used the 6000 Di Pro but I hear they were pretty deep too. I have, in my collection, several vintage Whites MDs and one for instance, the Whites 'Apollo' is one of my favorites. SPOT-ON target pinpointing as it was a non-motion T/R but non-disc., "lunchbox" detector, somewhat related to the 66-TR you guys used here. It could, like you guys were hinting at here, null out the iron with the primitive disc.-like nulling circuit. Same length control box. The Apollo had a gold metal flake finish to it though but was basically a 66-TR but with the Apollo brand color and name badge. Not the typical Whites blue.

I just won one on ebay I can not wait to hunt with it.

Looks like that works as well as some other machines on the market today.

Love it.... Would like to see more vids like this.

I have a 66tr paid 25 bucks for it. Came with 3 coils, small gold coil, medium size coil and a huge coil. Put a new battery box and it works great. Picks up flyshit gold no problem. More sensitive than my new one. Thanks for the explain on how to use it. Haven't been able to find any manuals or how to use it.

I still have one. Haven't used it in years.

my Dad was the first one in RI to have one in the 70s

Back in the mid 60's I showed a Whites magazine ad to some other teens at school and they all told me it was just fraud. They said, "No machine can find buried coins." I ordered that Whites Coinmaster and could hunt just about anywhere I wanted. Only about 1 person in 100 believed in metal detectors. I had all sorts of people laughing at me until they saw what I was digging. I only wish I would of had today's deep machines back then!

Guys found a lot with those 66s back in the day.

Yes! 👍. Tried and true.

I had one excellent detector a little large but if it was in the ground the 66 would find,it loved it

Nice classic, well preserved. Bet you detected it somewhere...

It would make a great boat anchor! Lol

Is there anyway I can get a manual for the whites coinmaster 6000 di series if possible thank you for your time I just got this detector been watching some of your videos seems pretty nice I don't understand all the controls cuz I haven't done it very long I had a cheaper one for a long time and it didn't have two buttons on it sure you know what I'm talking about but thanks again for your time

hi there, if you're still around maybe you could point me in the right direction. i have 66-tr, i has a large black disc or pickup it's in good shape, i've never known how to use it, nor set it, maybe this video will help some, i know i used to get a hum with it near the ground, but i can't get that now. it'll detect a signal for aluminum and heavy steel. but not quarters on either metal or mineral.

i need a battery pack for a descriminator.any suggestions.

found one in the trash put two 9v batteries in it works great

can a coin master 6000D still be serviced by whites

I just scored a 65-t. The meter is kind of busted up. Is there somewhere to find one?

Clasic detektor👍

Do you know what frequency they used? 48kHz? 100kHz?

Too bad they went out of business according to web sources. My Goldmaster from 78 still works

I have a Beachcomer. What year was that made.

I also have the same looking unit, only differance is just says metal detector. Unfortunatly it is not working. Good for parts though.

where can you get the 12 v battery ?

Looks like it would really hurt your wrist after a bit

Год выпуска у него 1734 год..Ему давно пора на свалку..Это прошлый век а не прибор...))
