03krafty Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 8:59 pm Hi everyone, this is my first post... I am wondering about a metal detector which was left to me by my grandfather. It is a coinmaster 6000d series 2. It has no batteries in it and I don't know what kind to get. It looks like it takes 2 9v, but when I tried to hook it up it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong or is there another type of battery that has a hook-up like a 9v? Report this Post to the Staff

My uncle had one that used 9v batteries also and it was a cheap one that didn't work anymore so that may be the case with yours (not saying yours is cheap just saying the one he had was) Report this Post to the Staff
03krafty Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 9:51 pm Thanks, I don't know anything about them. I just started collecting coins and thought I would check my yard for anything interresting. I got out the metal detector which has been stored in the garage since he died in 1991. There is a really big plastic box where the batteries go, it looks way to big to house 2 9volts. Report this Post to the Staff

Dockwalliper Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 2:19 pm I had an old Fisher that had a hook-up that was just like a 9volt but was intended for a clip that hald two rows of AA batteries. Do an online search. Maybe you can find the operating manuel. Edited by Dockwalliper 04/16/2008 2:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
03krafty Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 11:01 pm I went to White's web site and got it all figured out! Thank you all so much, you are great! Report this Post to the Staff
03krafty Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/22/2008 10:53 pm Ok, I got the battery holders today! I was sooo excited!! I loaded them up and....nothing. The batter checker says the batteries are working, but it still does nothing no static, no beeps, the needle doesn't move for anything but the battery checker. Does anyone know what I should do next? Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 07/02/2008 10:02 am 03Krafty, I have an old White's 4BDX that I purchased, with case, at a garage sale for $20. After I cleaned up the battery terminals and installed the batteries, I followed the instructions in the owner's manual (available on the White's web site) to calibrate it. Next, I tossed a quarter on the ground to check its response, and after that it was off to the races for me. Can't say that I've even come close to paying it off with what I've found (how many roofing nails does it take to equal twenty bucks, lol?), but I've had loads of fun with it, and the neighbor borrowed it and found a buddy's ring that he lost while playing touch football - so it was well worth it. Hope you can get yours going. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 07/02/2008 1:34 pm That detector had two different places to hook batteries to. I can't remember exactly how many batteries each held but they held different amounts. Make sure the direction of the batts. are correct. Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 2:14 pm That old Whites took 8 AA and 6 AA in holders for 12 and 9V, respectively. If it still doesn't work, write the factory. They can fix them good as new. Report this Post to the Staff
