    Detector Rack?

    Has anyone constructed a stand or rack to safely store detectors? I keep my EX II under my bed and my son's detector as all over the place. My wife wants to kill us both. So, I'm wondering if any of you have thought of a nice neat way to hang, lean or lie, your detectors, similar to say, a...

    Classic IDX Question - Technical

    Hi all: I recently purchased a used Classic IDX and last night replaced the corroded box screws with stainless ones. After getting in the last screw, I turned on the detector and the thing sounded scratchy and very noisy (via the speaker). After fooling around with it for a while, I...

    Air Testing the EXII

    I was running various targets past my new (used EXII) and I noticed that the cross hairs like to jump a bit and the tone is a bit less than uniform even with good targets like silver dimes and musket balls. Yet, when I ran the same targets past my X-1 probe the cross hairs locked on and the...

    Bounty Hunter Pioneer EX and a shocker!!!!!

    I sent my Minelab Explorer II upper shaft to Ralph at Sun Ray (boy, what a nice guy) for probe installation, so I didn't have my detector for the weekend. That said, I took my 10 year old son and his friend detecting a couple of blocks from my house, outside of Boston. My son was using his...

    Nice suprise

    Are there size differences between the stock coils on...

    ...the XS, EXII and SE? My EXII has a 10.5 inch, but some tell me their machines have a stock 8"?? That doesn't sound right to me. Mike

    Question re EXII Std 10.5" coil

    I went and bought a coil cover for my new (used) EXII 10.5 coil and then realized it came with one one it I was tripped up because the cover has a bead of black silicone around it. Is this a factory thing or did a previous owner apply the silicone? I ask because I'd rather simply take off...

    Question re: Iron Masking

    Are Iron Mask and Discrimination two different modes? In other words, if I choose Iron Mask, am I not discriminating? Or, do they both run at the same time? If the latter is the case, how the heck does that work?? Help?! Thanks Mike

    LEJERMON HARNESS FOR EXPLORER?

    Anyone use this? I've got arthritis in my shoulder and am wondering if this thing works. Also, does it do anything bad to the detector, eg. wear-wise? Many thanks, Mike

    Ex2 Coil-end cable connection

    OK, so I got my Explorer II and was inspecting the seach coil. I noticed that the coil cable connection into the coil wasn't completely tight so I tightened it about (1/4 inch turn) by hand (no tools). Not much, but it turned. The washer between the cable plug and coil can still be turned...

    New Explorer II user

    Hi: I'm awaiting my Ex2 in the mail and am wondering if anyone might have a "simple" effective program/tip, whatever--that might help ease the learning curve? I'm fresh off a Shadow X-3 that has two knobs. I've heard many stories that learning the Minelab is like chewing on tinfoil... Many...
