The very first VLF metal detector............

[Melbeta]

George Payne was working at Whites Electronics, had left Bounty Hunter in Arizona, and came north. He first studied iron minerals, and published a technical disertation. I have it stored somewhere, and am pausing to go look for it, to stick it into this posting. Found it! It was entitled "How Ground Exclusion Balance Works" and is listed immediately below.... From it, research began at Whites Electronics. Now it is my copy, it was sent to me by Ken White Sr, so I have secured it. Very very rare copy... Anyway, this was in 1974, and engineers began to build this unit, for testing, and built that unit for testing. Thats a lot of Whites schematics. I have them, but am not going to stick all the test units into this posting. GEB white copy_s_vs5.0_001.pdf
one model was sent outside of Whites Electronics, to Texas, to be tested. It ran at 1.782 kHz frequency, which is doggone low frequency. It was taken to Padre Island, to be tested in the shore of the water and sand. I have it as well. I have the 1974 Whites Factory schematic, and am sticking it here. I had Carl Moreland search Whites Electronics for the early George Payne factory schematics, and he said he could not find any. I think Ken White Sr, had them all removed and destroyed, after George Payne left Whites Electronics employment, and opened his own metal detector business. I fact I know that for a fact! But a former Whites Electronics engineer, was trading factory schematics with myself before he died. He had worked at Whites Electronics back then, grabbed some of the VLF schematics, before they were destroyed by Ken White Sr...So here above, is the 1974 Whites Electronics factory schematic of the machine that would be taken to Padre Island, and tested. It runs at the low frequency of 1.782 kHz frequench... The schematic even has the Wave Forms depicted on it and I enhanced it for extreme clarity...Well, it is not featured below it is above this information. It is called CM5, for Coin Master 5... But in 1975, it was officially released, and was called Whites Electroics V Supreme.
It was tested, and slightly modified. I have this 1974 schematic which was slightly modified, and am sticking it here right below again... That is if it will let me post it here. It is marked PATENT PENDING, which means a submission for a patent was issued to the Patent Office... Now in the meantime, an model was being tested at Padre Island......I am going to look for that Padre Island test, and If I find where I stored it, I will stick it in this posting!!!!! Yippkie ki yea, it is right below.......

Now the test, on Padre Island, I have it as well. It is dated 1975, so not quite sure which revised model ROCKY LaGaye used in the test. But Ken White Sr, sent the test to me. I enhanced it, and stuck it into a .Pdf file, and I got it
here today, for all of you guys to read. Now Rocky reported, "It is SO SENSITIVE it even FINDS the SMELL of GOLD"........Not that is sensitive, the smell. BUT, unfortunately while finding the GOLD, it also found the SMELL of vintage iron all over that area. It even found the smell of DISSOLVED iron from the old Spannish treasure ships. That was the goal, the Spannish Treasure Fleets, finding the gold in those treasure fleets you see, but it went way beyond the gold,
and found doggone everything........ Very very very sensitive and found everything...

Now up in Oregon, a guy, bought one of the 1975 Coin Master V Supreme 1.782 kHz frequency, and took it to some old parks, and son of a gun he was pulling up old coins from the depth, all over the place. HE loved it, and fortunately
for him, there were no Spannish dissolved iron in those old parks.... His name was Allan Cannon, he worked at first for Compass, then went to work for Garrett, then later returned to Compass. Charles Garrett was not thrilled with Allan
Cannon buying the Whites Coinmaster V Supreme and finding coin after coin and ranting and raving over the machine....... Now somewhere, in a file on Allan Cannon, I have what he said about the CM Supreme of 1.782 kHz frequency. Not sure right now where I put it. It is snowing like crazy here, supposed to be 17 inches of snow in town, not sure what I will get way up here north of town.... Going to get ready to go out shoveling again, is a bit dark now, but as soon
as it lights up, out I go with my snow shovel......

Here's a cleaner version of the CM5 schematic:

We got from 30" to 36 inches of snow, just got our drive way out to the country road cleared so NO MORE SNOW BOUND is MELBETA!!! My snow plow would not work right, dug the snow to it, cleaned the hood so I could open it, an Carbureator spring is missing on the Idle Return area.... Will drive in to the Chevy dealer tomorrow, to see if the dealership has any in stock.

Had a bit of time now that the snow stopped, and got the yard and driveway opened up so our son, who teaches the air force ACADEMY Cadets can come out tonight... I just stuck in the flash drive, which I keep Whites machines on, and found the test materials that Rocky LaGaye performed. Will attach it below now. Very very interesting reading, and it was the FIRST Supreme model that he tested at 1.782 kHz frequency. Let me know how you liked it, it is good to read, but I appeased Rocky by securing it years ago... Ken White SR sent it to me when he got if from Rocky LaGaye...

And Whites Electronics gave me the sales brochure as well back in 1975......I set those two brochures to go below this area, but for some strange reason unknown to me, they went up at the top, Well at least they are in the posting...

And Rocky LaGaye "death notice", got it as well. Going to try to put it right below now... Well that at least worked!!!!!!!!!!
