    Explorer nut and bolt help.

    Hello. I've just purchased an extra coil for my Explorer XS (detech 14"). Upon receiving it I realized that the black plastic bolt I use for my stock 10.5" and 7.5" Minelab coils is too big to enter the Detech coil. I just wanted to test it, so I used a metal bolt and a wingnut. It worked fine...

    Explorer pattern and settings

    Hi, now I am more confused with my XS... I understood that saving/load patterns would save and load only disc. patterns, and saving/loading "settings" was for saving or load different settings as sensitivity, audio options, recover options, etc. But I just realized that when I save a setting, it...

    Silver Sound

    Hi. I have a question about what is supposed to be the "silver sound". Or am I mistaken? Being using the explorer XS for about two weeks but no silver found yet, but doing airtest I got exactly the same sound (high pitch), the same crosshair position and the same ID for a clad quarter thann for...

    Problem Mounting 8" coil on my XS

    I'm having some difficulties to install a Minelab 8" coil on my Explorer XS. Problem is the cable of this coil seems to have a bit more diameter than the cable of the stock 10" coil, then it is a pain to insert it in the slot of the lower stem. Even when I succeed after applying a lot of...

    Explorer rechargeable battery pack

    Does anyone know if an Explorer rechargeable battery pack (9.6v, 1500mAh) that does not keep the charge very well can be re-fitted with new AA rechargeable batteries? I know you can use these batteries in the AA battery pack, but I was wondering if it is possible to fix the rechargeable pack...

    First week with Explorer XS

    I'm trying to learn the Explorer XS and I think I've learned a lot in this forum (but I know this is a long way). Well, one week hitting a couple of local parks, this is the result until this moment: 32 clad pennies 9 clad quarters 16 clad dimes 1 clad nickel 8 pieces of junk (the one that...

    Pinpointing w/ Explorer 10" coil.

    Hi! I am a new user and really having a hard time pinpointing with the 10" coil. I can pinpoint pretty good with the 8" coil, however not much luck with the bigger coil. Can anyone tell me if, using the pinpointing function until I get the exact point of maximum sound, is the target suppose to...

    Question about XS lower rod

    Hi, I would like to purchase an extra rod for my explorer XS in order to have both the 8" and 10" coils permanently installed on rods. I've heard that one should look for a better rod than the original XS one. If this is true, which rod would be the adequate? The Explorer II one? Thanks.

    Question about an Explorer XS

    Hi! I just bought my first Minelab detector, an used Explorer XS. It looks in good cosmetic condition and seems to work good except one thing that maybe is normal or maybe not. The threshold sound is fine when I turn the detector on, but after some time detecting it becomes like a broken sound...

    Explorer and Sunray x-1?

    Hello. I've been reading that if one wants to purchase a Sunray X-1 probe for the Explorer XS, it has to be purchased with an upper rod. I was wondering why, it is so difficult to install the probe on the rod? Does it involve anything else than affixing the probe's control box to the upper rod...

    Do I need the 8" coil?

    Hi, everyone. I just bought my first explorer, an older XS that comes with an FBS 1050 black coil, and I was wondering if I would need to get an 8" coil as well, or if it would be redundant. Thanks!

    Need help with discrimination issue.

    Hello, everyone. I have what I think may be a problem with my tek 4000. In the places I search I really don't care much for jewelry or nickels, so I use disc. in 80 (supposed to be dimes, quarters and up). Now, I know that sometimes flat cans, large washers, bottlecaps, etc, may give a...
