I am in the computer repair business. So I know a little bit about taking care of clients with broken computers.

Today I received back my two Beach Hunter ID's from Whites in Oregon. I was absolutely shocked when I opened up the box.

      First of all, a little history on the 2 units I sent in.

1st unit was almost 9 years old. For those of you that know me, I have used the heck out of this unit. The only service done to it in 9 years was I replaced the reset switch and a set of head phones.

2nd unit bought used about 2 years ago for the wife. I had to replace the coil when I got it. Wife has since worn out 2nd coil by dragging it on beaches.

      Reason for sending both units in for repair:

I knew coils were bad (cracked) and wanted new upgraded 12 inch coils put on.

Now the shocking part: Upon opening box, I found what looked like 2 brand new detectors with 12 inch coils. I mean these were spotless of any dirt or scratches. (see picture) I won't get in to details about what was replaced but let’s just say everything but headphones and 1 main board. For all practical purposes, I now have two new units for a total cost of 1/3

the price I would have paid for one unit.

Now you know why I own 5 Whites detectors, 2 land and 3 water.

Thanks again Whites (especially service tech J.A.) for the great service.

BTW, Just tried air testing both units. Went to insert my battery packs in the units and discovered 2 brand new (non rechargeable) battery packs (loaded with fresh batteries) installed. Can you believe that? Wow, what service. I am speechless.
