About White's Metal Detectors

White’s Metal Detectors of New England is the largest full-service metal detector supply company in New England. Our wholesale business serves more than 100 stocking dealers who sell White’s products in their stores throughout the six state region. Our retail business offers a wide selection of White’s metal detectors and accessories including:

Paul White began building and selling his own metal detectors in Framingham, MA in the 1970’s. He turned his hobby into a full-time career in 1978, when he was hired by a local White’s distributor in Wakefield. In 1985, Paul assumed distribution for all of White’s products, and White’s Metal Detectors of New England was born.

Paul successfully grew the business until his passing in 1992. From there, his son Mike took the reins and developed White’s into the regional leader it is today. After operating out of small storefronts in Newton and Watertown for 13 years, White’s moved to a new, 4,500 square-foot facility in Framingham in December 2008. Our large showroom and warehouse are located in the same building, allowing us to offer customers unparalleled service, selection, and convenience. White’s of New England carries a wide range of products: from beginners models for causal treasure hunting to more specific target identification tools to highly precise dual frequency metal detectors.

Our family has been standing behind White’s products for over two decades. As metal detection technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, we have consistently helped customers select the right product for them and get maximum use and enjoyment out of it. Hobbyists can now buy a detector that automatically identifies an object’s metallic qualities and depth underground. This is a far cry from the cryptic “beep” that hunters had to interpret back in the day, and it is the type of innovation that makes detecting more rewarding all the time. Founder Paul White might not have imagined such advanced technology to be possible, but we know he’d be thrilled to use it and help others do the same – just as we do, every day.
