    How come Minelab gets 5 boards, Whites - 3, Fisher - 3....

    and Garrett only gets one? The Ace series is insanely popular, so there is no shortage of Garrett users out there. Are their high end detectors just overlooked for some reason? What gives?

    I just wish Garrett's weren't so heavy....

    I gave serious consideration to Garrett's lineup of detectors before going for the lighter F75 LTD, but the weight of Garrett's top of the line detectors concerned me. I own an Explorer SE, which I feel is heavy, and it's only 3.7 pounds without the battery. I'm not sure how much heavier it is...

    You were right, the 10x12 SEF is a winner

    Went relic hunting today and I have NEVER dug deeper holes than I did with the 10x12 SEF. I dug an old fork at about 13", miniballs at 9-11", etc. Don't have pictures yet, but I was finding some really deep stuff. I tried out the 15x12 SEF and although I'm sure it would go even deeper, it's...

    Planning on getting the 10x12 and 15x12 SEF coils.. should I get the pro coil instead?

    Hey everyone, I was initially planning on selling my Explorer SE but I've decided to upgrade coils instead... that should get me to go a little deeper than I'm currently getting. I was tempted by the new Fisher F75 LTD, but I don't want to drop $1250 on a detector. My question is... should...

    Help! Can't decide between Sovereign and F75 LTD.

    Hi again, I think I've narrowed down my choices to the Minelab Sovereign GT and the Fisher F75 LTD. I currently own an Explorer SE, and after failing to detect a buried 8" mercury dime the other day, I realized that I wanted to get something that has a bit more raw power. I hardly ever use...

    Coinstrike and mineralized ground?

    Hey everybody, Explorer SE and Tesoro Eldorado user here who is currently looking for something else. The slow recovery speed of the Explorer has bothered me for some time, and the depth on the Eldorado leaves a lot to be desired (probably due to my ground). The last straw today was when the...

    Is the F75 LTD really "useless" in the city?

    I've been interested in this detector, primarily because of the depth capabilities, but I've read a couple of reports where people simply couldn't hunt certain sites because of EMI interference. I do a lot of relic hunting but I don't want to give up my ability to hunt coins in the city. If...

    So is the Fisher F75 LTD good?

    Hey guys, I'm a Minelab Explorer SE user and I have been toying with the idea of selling it and getting something else. I hunt in a lot of trashy areas and the slow recovery speed really does become an issue. I've read a lot about the F75 LTD. There are a lot of negative reviews of it on...

    Anyone ever compare the depth of a Sovereign against the Explorers/E-trac?

    Just curious. I've read so many stories about the Sovereigns depth potential, but I know the Explorers and E-trac do well on depth as well.

    Musketeer vs Sovereign GT?

    Hey everybody. Long time Explorer SE / Tesoro user here who is thinking about selling the Explorer and getting another Minelab. I was initially looking at the E-trac, but I realized that I really like detectors that don't have pages and pages of settings to go through. I like the old...

    How much do you think I can get for my Minelab Explorer SE + Sunray probe + 8" coil?

    I haven't put this up for sale yet, but I'm just trying to get a general idea of what the market price for this combo would be. I bought the detector back in early '08, used it less than 20 times, and I have added a Sunray X-1 probe and I have a Minelab 8" coil as well. The only cosmetic issue...

    What coils should I get for my Tesoro Eldorado uMax?

    There are quite a few out there, but I have no idea which ones will work best for this machine. The stock coil is concentric, I believe... should I invest in a widescan coil? I'm used to these because of my Minelab. I might lose some depth, but I'll cover more area. Is the 11" widescan a good...

    Just bought a brand new Tesoro Eldorado uMax!

    I was shocked to find a dealer who still had a brand new one on his wall. He didn't let it go cheap, I basically paid full price, but after learning that Eldorado's typically go for $300 or more used, I decided that for a little more, it is worth having a brand new unit. I won't have to worry...

    Sorry to ask a dumb question..... Sunray X-1 Probe

    I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Explorer SE and Sunray X-1 probe and I suddenly became confused while looking at a picture of the probe online. How does it connect to the actual explorer? In all the pictures I've seen, the coil connects into the front of the control box and...

    Just ordered my Explorer SE! .... did I get good stuff?

    I got the Minelab Explorer SE with the X-1 probe and Sunray X-8 coil. I am starting to have my doubts about that choice of coil. Is the Minelab 8 inch coil better? I've heard great things about the Sunray. I took the advice and held off purchasing the X-12. I think the stock coil will get...

    Sunray vs Coiltek vs EXcellerator for a beginner on a budget

    Hi, I am about to purchase my Explorer SE. I have read that the stock 10.5" coil is not the best coil to start off with. I am thinking about buying two aftermarket coils, an 8" and a 12". Should I go with the EXcellerator (detech) coils on Kellyco (which I will get at a good discount if I...

    X-1 probe installation?

    How hard is it to install the X-1 probe onto an Explorer SE? I plan on buying the probe with the upper mounting already attached. Is it complicated to install the rest of the equipment?

    Deepest depths from the explorer?

    I am about 90% certain I will be purchasing the explorer soon. Just a few quick questions: what's the deepest target you've reached with your explorer? Is the machine good in highly mineralized conditions such as the southern california desert? Opinions welcomed. Thanks

    EXcellerator coils - The Real Deal or Hype?

    Well, I am thinking about getting a Minelab SE, but I have a question about the EXcellerator coils sold at kellyco. Are these really "that" good? Has anyone experienced the "20-26 inch depth on coins" that some of the coils are advertising? I think the 18" coil claims this. Are these...
