Let's slide some hints to Minelab...What improvements or features would you like to see in an Explorer 4:clapping:

My vote is for a chest mounted version. Years ago, I noticed that you could purchase such a version thru Jimmy Sierra. I owned a White's Spectrum, not a lightweight, which one could mount on your belt with a conversion kit. So there you are swinging a coil only. What a blessed relief. Hours of virtually weightless detecting.

I should have mentioned that the Jimmy Sierra chest mounted version was for a White's detector.

The electronics for both the Explorer and ET are archaic. Compare what that machine does to one of the newer cell phones. Doesn't even have to be an I-phone. Gps, camera, phone, text capability, and tons of apss and a expandable memory. Don't know what it would take to get an electronics engineer from one of the cell manufacturers, but a consultant on a new design of the internal electronics is sorely needed...by all the manufacuters, not just ML.
Immagine a camera, movie and still, located in the control box next to the shaft. Want to take a picture of your detecting to share? Push the button. jim
