Garrett Electronics Announces Acquisition of White's.

Garland, TX, October 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Garrett Electronics, a design and manufacturing company specializing in sport and security metal detectors, announced the acquisition of certain assets of White’s Electronics.

White’s founders, Kenneth and Olive White, built their business the same way Garrett’s founders, Charles and Eleanor Garrett, did, by innovating and committing to producing high quality products in the United States. White’s current principals, Kenneth R. and Mary White, are choosing to fold the White’s legacy in with Garrett Metal Detectors as a way of extending their “Made in the USA” tradition....

Here is a request for help I received.  

Hello my name is XXXXX I was referred through a person named Keith to the website that I have found your email on about a lost ring that was lost about three years ago at a boat and dock in Fort Pierce Florida the problem I’m having is this dog is being closed from October 19 until June 2021 to build a cruise ship port I’ve had a few people that I have talk to you but I need somebody that can dive with a good metal detector I had somebody go out earlier this week that had diving gear but not such a great metal detector and I unfortunately did not have any luck I was wondering what your thoughts may be on this if you can I would appreciate a opinion on what my options are ? 

This ring is very valuable to me because two people that passed away I incorporated a V ring to make it a thicker gold along with a diamond earring incorporated into the ring from a family member that passed away I was at the boat and dock in December and was getting drinks out of the cooler and it flung into the water.

Lost Ring.

Location.

One experienced diver took a shot at it and came up with only a lot of junk.  Time is quickly running out. but if you want to give it a try and really jump on it, I'll try to get you the email as soon as I can.
