Finally FINALLY, after many a fortnight, I treated myself to a day of detecting, Even got the wife to go also. We dug a few coins. She used The predator lll, and I used the Ex ll. It has been so long since I went exploring I am having to re-learn my machine. (But it comes back fast) So how is everyone? Its been about 2 years since I last posted on this area. Any new stuff for the Ex ll? Mines all stock except for the add-on pin-pointer. Can these units be sent back to the factory for updates in programming? Have any of you heard of the ExllEm emulator program, and are there any updates to same, such as zip files and such. Also the last time I researched the Joey coil was a good investment, never got one though. Any good recommendations over the stock coil? Well I hope you all have a closet full of finds. Hope to be posting more soon. Happy hunting!
