I really like mine

September 01, 2018
I have been detecting since 1995. I have used and tried MANY different detectors. After using the M6 for awhile I can see why a lot of people like it. All I can say is mine is perfect for me and the way I hunt. This M6 will never be for sale. Its that good.
Its not absolutely perfect, but its heads and shoulders above the detectors I have tried in the past. I have 3 test gardens that have been there for a long time. I can put them thru hard test. My targets are not single coins, but different types of metal at different depths. This M6 is just a good solid detector. Bottom line.

Omg this thing is a keeper

August 14, 2017
Made the monte nail test with this machine it only half hit 2 swings the other ones right on! Dead accurate machine getting the 6x10 coil and then the 5.3 because that what everyone recommends it this machine is a 25 cents hog it sniff them out 12 inches with stock coil in mineralized soil you can run it with extra gain in outdoors will see ate 12 inches with no prob very resistant to EMI discrimination is awesome also get the rechargeable batt first option in parks and wonderful machine as a loaner because it is simple to use, new user wont be discourage about this hobby simply because its a true grab and go machine with simple VDI for them built like a tank theare a reason why they keep making them since 2006.

Whites m6

December 01, 2015
Been detecting for over twenty years tried most makes of machines, all modern detectors do a great job but you need the right land and conditions to be successful, plus points with the whites m6 super ground tracking, multi tone, very well balanced, dig all plus numbers in the UK small silver will come in foil range, let me add not a lover of whites machine's but they do find the better stuff, worth having the m6 for tracking alone, great machine for little money.

Fantastic coin and jewelry machine!

May 06, 2015
Simply put, the M6 is a COIN HOG! When I only have an hour or so to kill I'll run down to the local school yard and rarely pull out less then 10-15 coins time and time again! I live on an island, so hunt beaches too and never had any problems with this machine what so ever.

Anyone who complains about this machine just doesn't know what they're doing. This machine hunts them out deep as well. I've never experimented with other coils mainly because this machine gives me 100 percent just the way it is! You pick the terrain, this machine will find it all. I highly recommend!

Deeeeeeeep......and easy to use!

May 15, 2014
In 9 years of detecting I have had 7 detectors. I purchased a m6 a little over 2 years ago and haven't looked back! In my ground the M6 is easy to use and very deep. I've nailed dimes down to 9 inches deep and a couple quarters at 12"!

The d2 10" coil I put on this machine has turned it into a beast. If you are looking for a detector that is easy to use and has the deep finding qualities of top of the line detectors the m6 could be for you. Also the build quality and look of the m6 is top shelf. Many different coils can be used for different conditions. For the price and performance it doesn't get any better!

The best allrounder.

January 02, 2014
This machine is still the best allrounder ever made for what I personally require from a metal detector. It does everything well, both inland and on the beach. People who say that this machine does not work on the wet sand have either got a faulty unit or they are not balancing it properly. When set up correctly, this machine will search the wet sand and even shallow water without any problematic noise issues and will get great depth. Apart from it's excellent beach performance, it excels inland also.

It is such a simple machine to set up for maximum performance and with a wide range of coils available it will cope with anything you want to throw at it. Good depth, excellent in trashy environments, versatile and easy to operate.........What more do you need from a metal detector? Don't overlook this machine simply because it hasn't got the latest bells and whistles, it has all the features that you'll ever need......It just dispenses with the features that make no difference to your finds rate at all.

Overall, it's a classy machine and one for the detector hall of fame...Awesome machine.

Good for inland hunting

September 14, 2013
The M6 is a fine example of a turn-on-and-go machine from White's. In a park or around a farm it is very stable and a grand general coin shooter. It works well with all the coils that the company has to offer. For this machine I find the 6x10 DD to be the best for this type of detecting. On dry sand at the beach the detector works well, like any other place with the best coil seeming to be the 300MM/12 inch.

The moment you hit the wet sand is where this machine runs into problems, Ghosting and false signals abound. The display provide erratic information and is all over the map. All and all a good machine with lots of features for inland hunting, but if you are wanting a beach machine, sorry to say I would look elsewhere.

M6 is great!!

August 01, 2013
I cant understand some of these people writing the bad reviews saying the M6 wont find anything past 3 inches!! I am getting hits at 9! I believe they aren't hearing the deep signals or something. Mine is awesome. I went to the river where people camp and is very trashy. Even with the 9.50 stock coil I was finding coins around the trash very easily! I am still at awe. The M6 is one of the BEST!!!

Great depth!

July 30, 2013
Been using the m6 for three years. With the 6x10 DD I have dug coins down to 9 inches. With the 9.5 coil I have dug coins down to 11 inches! A lot depends on the soil, the coil you use and the settings.
Running at 0 discrimination and high sens. Will get you the best results for depth. The tid is usually bang on for coins! Granted when you get down past 7 to 8 inches the vdi might be lower but the tones will be the same. Dig it!!

Also when you get a lot of different vdi and coin tones and some lower tones mixed in dig! A lot of times these are coin spills! Dig those 18-20 signals and you will dig a lot of nickels and every so often gold! M6= coin and jewelry hog! Does everything I want it to and more!

Two thums down

June 18, 2013
This detector is for the birds. Depth and target separation is well below other detectors of same price range. Built very well the durability is unmatched that's about all you'll get from this detector.
