    Deus vs Minelab

    Can anybody give me any info regarding how Deus stacks up to Minelab? The Deus Ads are very interesting, but I would prefer to hear from experienced detectorists who have used both before I make a decision to buy or not. I have used a Minelab XS Explorer for many years, and have been very...

    HAS ANYBODY OUT THERE USED THE HUGE EXCELERATOR II COIL

    on their Explorer? I recently came into posession of the HUGE (almost 17" diameter) Excelerator II and would like to hear some feedback on this coil. I intend to go beach hunting with my XS in the near future, and I was wondering how the Excelerator II performs vs the standard 10" Explorer...

    I BROKE MY LOWER SHAFT ON MY EXPLORER XS AND

    I broke my lower shaft on my explorer XS (beware of those revolving doors at the Atlantic City Casinos!) and I'm wondering if anybody out there can recommend a dealer who carries the lower shaft. I emailed Kellyco and called Joe Demarco but neither has given me any response. Any help would be...

    Question on the "Swingy Thingy"

    I just saw the "Swingy Thingy" on ebay, item no. 290296749975. It is supposed to make your detector easy to handle after several hours of detecting. Has anybody out there used it, and if so, is it all it is cracked up to be? If it works, it sure would be a great help to me as, at my age, my...

    QUESTION ON ANDERSON SHAFT EXTENSION FOR EXCAL

    I'm considering purchasing a straight shaft for my excal 1000. I've noticed that there are several offerings on ebay. Most are in the $70-$80 range. Also listed is the Anderson Shaft Extension item no. 200165531946, which, according to the seller, is attached directly to the S rod and uses the...

    NEODYMIUM IRON BORON MAGNETS--ANY GOOD?

    I have seen these magnets advertised on ebay, supposedly to help when detecting. They are supposed to be very powerful. Has anybody out there used these things, and if so, have you found them to be of any value while detecting, and if so, how? I am not an expert on magnets or electronics, but...

    SO YOU THINK THE SE IS BETTER THAN THE

    Explorer XS? I have the older model Explorer XS (the one that takes the 1/8 inch headphone plug-in). Recently I was at the Jersey shore and was amazed (again) at the depth of which I was finding coins. I did not find anthing more than clad, but the depth at which I was finding some of these...

    ANY GOOD DIGGER RECOMMENDATIONS? I'M

    I'm currently using the GATOR digger, and have been using it for quite a few years. It's a great digger, but it only measures 9.5" from the top of the handle to the tip of the blade, and it's starting to dull. Many times I have wished that I had a longer and sharper digger for those deepies, and...

    NEW JERSEY SHORE QUESTION--I FINALLY GOT

    my Excalibur and am itching to try it out! Was wondering if you N.J. shore guys/gals can suggest any good beaches to give it a try at. I used to hunt A.C. with my Explorer XS, and did fairly well, but I stopped going there after they replenished the beach a few years ago. Has anybody out there...

    Excalibur Coil Questions--is a loose cover normal, and

    I just purchased an excalibur on eBay. It like new and appears to be in excellent condition, but I notice that the coil cover is fairly loose and I'm afraid that it might fall off from wave action when detecting in the surf. Is this normal for the cover to be so loose, and if not, is there an...
