It is possible I have the model numbers backwards on the CG models.
White's didn't put the model numbers on the units.

Welcome to the White's Coin Getter site. I couldn't find any information on the internet whatsoever concerning this fine little metal detector, so I started this site for others to share information about the Coin Getter. If you have any information or would like to tell others about the treasure you have found, please send email. If you would like to send pictures of your finds (just like in the treasure magazines), send me the pics by email and I will post them here.

From the small amount of information I have gathered, White's made 3 different Coin Getter models - the CG-1 (with BFO) (mid to late 1970s), the CG-2 (manufactured around 1979) and the TR Amphibian for underwater searching. Other models White's made during this period were the MiniMaster (1976) and the Beachcomber. I would also like to post information on these models if I can find it.

I have two White's Coin Getters. I have had one of them for over 25 years and it has been out of service because the wires that attached to the circuit board were stiff and are broken off in several places. I just recently purchased a "like-new" unit (thanks to Floyd in Wisconsin). The Coin Getter is a simple, low-budget detector with no discrimination features. It just has a volume control and an earphone jack. You find lots of junk, depending on where you are searching, but that's the way I like it - simple.
My older Coin Getter has a blue face on the control box and the newer one has a gold face.

INFORMATION I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO SITE:

If you have any old copies of magazine ads or brochures for the Coin Getter, I would really like some good large scans to post here. I actually don't know what years the Coin Getter was produced, so I can use just about any information you can supply. You can send pics by email attachment to me at tejas55@yahoo.com. Click HERE to see information I've already received.

Thanks and let me hear from all you fans of the White's Coin Getter!
