Title: new detector ? Post by: Mrmayo on June 14, 2013, 09:43:09 PM looking for some advice on what is the best detector i should buy for using on beach and field, thanks Ceri.
also in about the 600 pound range (second hand ). ??? Title: Re: new detector ? Post by: Neil on June 14, 2013, 11:50:07 PM The simple answer to this mate is a Minelab Explorer II - quality on both the beach and field. You'd pay about £350ish second hand - cost £1100 new a few moons ago.
Welcome to DW by the way. Cheers Neil Title: Re: new detector ? Post by: Chef Geoff on June 14, 2013, 11:53:04 PM Or if you wanted to go one better then you could get an Explorer XS ;)

Title: Re: new detector ? Post by: alun on June 15, 2013, 12:39:39 PM I got a explorer 2 for sale @ £450. very little use in top grade condition.
Reason for sale is that it was my mates brothers who unfortunately is no longer with us. Title: Re: new detector ? Post by: nobby on June 15, 2013, 01:19:59 PM For 600 you could get an se pro or an etrac at a push

Title: Re: new detector ? Post by: alun on June 16, 2013, 01:14:36 PM Explorer is not that difficult to get to know, its the same with any new unit they take time to get use to.
Horses for courses really. I prefer my whites dfx 300, but after saying that I used a mates Minelab CTX 3030 the other day and thats in a league of its own. Expensive but it pulled good finds out of a pasture land I have permission for which my DFX missed. Good luck buddy Title: Re: new detector ?
