at least for those of us who used it, liked it, and promoted it. White's could have done a little better job in the marketing department for the M6, as well as many other models. Concentrated too much on the higher-end detectors.
When I was mainly using and promoting White's products the M6 didn't replace my MXT Pro when it came out, but it was a regular-carry detector with the 6½" Concentric coil mounted full-time. Most of those i loaned it to to check out told me they really liked the simplicity and field performance. The bulk of that was in various urban-type Coin Hunting sites, and that's the market the M6 was targeted at.
Glad you found a spiffy new-in-the-box specimen. Just don't let OregonGregg sneak into your closet and swap it for a somewhat ghost town dirtied specimen..
