Genuine White's Parts, While They Last
When a manufacturer closes, its machines don't stop working — they stop being supported. We bought deep on White's parts and still stock the components that actually fail: penlight and 8-cell battery holders for the V-series, DFX, XLT, MXT, and M6, the MX Sport battery holder, wall chargers, the 4-ohm replacement speaker, control-box O-ring seals for the Surf Master PI and Beach Hunter ID, rod sections, and the small hardware — thumb nuts, jack covers — that disappears first. Everything is genuine White's stock, not reproduction. Quantities are finite: most listings show only a few units left, and when they're gone, they're gone.
Free Digital Manuals for Classic White's Detectors
Lost the paper manual a decade ago? We host free digital instruction manuals for the Spectra V3i, Spectrum XLT, CoinMaster, Goldmaster 24K, MX Sport, Sierra Madre, MXT Pro, TDI SL, TM 808, TREASUREmaster and TREASUREpro, and Bullseye TRX — no purchase required. They're listed in this collection at $0.00; add one to your cart and download. Buying a used White's machine? Grab the manual first and check what accessories it shipped with before you bid.
When It's Time to Retire Your White's
Every White's machine eventually needs the one part nobody has. When yours gets there, the modern equivalents are better than what they replaced: MXT and M6 hunters land naturally on today's mid-range multi-frequency machines — see our beginner and intermediate detectors for the X-Terra Pro and Equinox class. DFX and Spectra V3i owners get the multi-frequency experience they pioneered, matured, in the current Minelab lineup. TDI fans will find Garrett carried pulse induction forward — and Garrett also revived the Goldmaster 24K platform — in the Garrett lineup. Tell us which White's you're retiring and where you hunt, and we'll point you at the closest modern match — not the most expensive one.
White's Electronics FAQs
Is White's Electronics still in business?
No — White's Electronics of Sweet Home, Oregon ceased operations in 2020, and Garrett acquired its assets. No new White's detectors are being manufactured, which is why remaining genuine parts inventory matters for owners keeping their machines running.
Can I still get parts for my White's metal detector?
Yes, while remaining stock lasts. We carry genuine White's battery holders, chargers, speakers, O-ring seals, rod sections, and hardware for the V-series, DFX, XLT, MXT, M6, MX Sport, Surf Master PI, and Beach Hunter ID. This collection is our complete remaining inventory — what's listed is what's available, and there's no restock once it sells through.
Where can I find a manual for an old White's detector?
Right here, free. We host digital instruction manuals for most classic White's models — Spectra V3i, Spectrum XLT, CoinMaster, Goldmaster 24K, MX Sport, MXT Pro, TDI SL, TM 808, and more — listed in this collection at no charge.
What's the modern equivalent of my White's MXT or DFX?
For the MXT and M6, today's mid-range simultaneous multi-frequency machines (Minelab X-Terra Pro and Equinox class) cover the same all-purpose hunting with better target ID. For the multi-frequency DFX and V3i, the current Minelab lineup is the direct descendant of that approach. Contact us with your model and hunting style for a specific recommendation.
Why White's Owners Buy from Serious Detecting
We're one of the few dealers that kept stocking White's parts after the closure, and our staff hunted with these machines when they were current — we know which battery holder fits which control box without checking a chart. Genuine stock only, never reproductions. Orders over $99 ship free in the lower 48, local pickup is available out of Michigan, and over 2,700 verified buyers have rated us 4.9 stars. If we can keep your White's swinging, we will — and when it's time to move on, we'll find you the right successor.
