    Would you believe it!!!:ukflag:

    As I was walking through the harbour the other day with my SE Pro to start detecting a man came over and asked if that was a detector I was carrying, I said yes it was and he asked if I would mind looking for a wedding band they had lost a couple of days before. We went to the area which is...

    Gods:ukflag:

    The Gods have been at it again. I think my punishment is to clear all the beaches round here of fishing weights Went down the beach the other day, result 6kg fishing weights and lots of old copper lures and 31p in change. I got my own back I took 75kg to the local tackle shop which will pay for...

    Beach coil:ukflag:

    I am thinking of upgrading my well worn SE Pro for a 3030. Nearly all of my detecting is done on beaches as there are nearly 400 beaches within about 1.5 hours drive, which coil would be the best to use down the beach, it needs to be very solidly built similar to the coil on my Detector Pro...

    Any ideas Battery Pack:ukflag:

    When I put the battery pack in my SE Pro the other day and switched it on nothing. If I moved the battery about it would work but when let go it would switch off again, tried this a few times it now works. I have checked the springs in the bottom of the battery slot and they seem to be fine. Any...

    SE PRO Problem:ukflag:

    I have had an SE Pro now for a couple of years, over this time I have had several problems with the battery pack. It has been sent off and repaired twice.

    Beach find rock!:ukflag:

    Can anyone help. I was out detecting and found this rock glinting in the sun and I thought that was what was giving the tone but when I tested it there was no tone. I assume it is fools gold but the rock is very heavy for it's size but does not give a tone on the probe. Any ideas as to what the...

    Battery pack:ukflag:

    Happy new year to all Forum watchers. Question. Somehow I think the battery pack on my SE has fried, will it be possible to remove the batteries in the pack and charge them in my 2500mah charger, I use 2500mah rechargables in the other pack and they seem to work quite well. Seems a daft question...

    ATX COST:ukflag::sadwalk:

    Very disappointed. The price of the ATX in Britain is about $3,000, a lot more that I was expecting, so there is no way I shall be buying one. It would be nice as we have hundreds of beaches in a small area and we get quite a lot of rain so it would be perfect. I shall just have to try and find...

    Question?:ukflag:

    Just before my Explorer SE Pro crashed it played a series of tones for about 3-4 seconds, then about 4 lines of text came up on the screen, before I could read it the machine switched off. Does anyone have any idea as to what it would have said. Thanks in advance.

    Miracle's still happen!!!:ukflag:

    Down the beach last week there was a very light shower, I got out of the rain but when I tried to switch the Explorer SE Pro back on again, NOTHING, even after checking the rubber seal on the battery compartment twice before going out there seemed to be damp on the terminals. Put in the spare...

    ATX:ukflag:

    The ATX has just come out at the right time. My Minelab Explorer Pro has just died, don't think I shall even try to get it repaired. I was not over impressed with the machine and don't think it was as good as the hype suggested but I treated myself to it when I retired. I was down the beach the...

    Long haul detecting:ukflag:

    Well that was a long way to go for a few days detecting. The field was ploughed for the first time in about 50 years, the farmer was pleased to let me detect. The only finds were lots of Victorian and George V & VI coppers that were very worn, a top off a 2 gallon Pratts spirit can, a small...

    Another hard day at the office!:ukflag:

    The weather is now getting warmer in Cornwall so I thought I would spend the day detecting. It was very warm and children were playing on the beach in their bathing costumes, in February, never seen that before. Not masses of finds only modern coins, as a lot of sand had been washed in onto the...
