    What detector am I using!?

The coil says amphibian 2 on it, and it is a whites detector. I had thought it was a surf master 2. Does anybody...

    Excalibur 2, is it the same as Excalibur 1000?

    I've just sold my explorer se so I can buy a newer underwater detector to use alongside my surf master 2, and the obvious choice seams to be a second hand excalibur. I've seen adverts for Excalibur 1000 and Excalibur 2. Is there a difference, how much should I pay for it second hand and is...

    Explorer SE is very impressive

    I have recently bought a Minelab explorer SE. But since then the tidal times have been wrong for ideal searching. Despite this my son and I found a silver six pence from 1813 on our first search which amazed me! Today the weather was terrible, and very windy. We had decided to go metal...
