White's Metal Detectors

White's beginnings date back to the year 1950 and the uranium craze. When all the country was looking for uranium, so were Olive & Ken White, Sr.

The only Geiger Counters available used headphones and Mr. White quickly learned that headphones created a problem in rattlesnake country. He invented a better product but was told his design was "impossible" by the leading Geiger Counter manufacturers. Deciding to manufacture the design himself, he succeeded, and within seven years, White's had 65 employees.

In 1958, the U.S. government announced it would no longer purchase uranium. All was not lost for this growing business, however. At the request of a former dealer in Tombstone, AZ, Mr. White was persuaded to build a metal detector. On his first outing, the dealer found a Spanish spur, a large piece of silver, several artifacts and a few coins.

Orders and requests for information poured in and marked the beginning of the White's as we know it today.

White's Electronics is a world leader in the design and manufacture of metal detectors. The company is currently led by Ken & Mary White, using the same philosophy that was so successful for Ken's father 50 years ago. Give the customers quality and value, treat your employees like you would like to be treated and the future will be bright. As the technology of the electronics industry has changed, so has White's technology - from vacuum tubes to sophisticated computer driven metal detectors for hobby, security and industry.

White's is extremely proud of their national network of authorized dealers, and Kittery Trading Post is proud to offer a fine selection of White's metal detectors in our retail store.
