    Excalibur 800 Died. Where do I send for repair?

    My Excalibur 800 started to chirp every 15 seconds. Then the threshold would continue to increase on it's own. I could at first adjust the threshold to control it but the it had a mind of its own. Then it just died. I only had the coil in the water when this happened. The control box didn't get...

    Lesche Tool Broke, has this happened to anyone else?

    I was digging a grass plug and began to pry it out. The ground wasn't all that hard and look what happened. I can't believe this thing broke like this. Good thing I had a new spare in the van. After replacing I dug a wheat penny. Does anyone know if there is any warranty against breakage on...

    Exploreer XS shuts down on me, WHY? Does this happen to you?

    I have an Exploreer XS and bought it new about 4 yrs ago. For the last two years it will just shut down on me as I am detecting. Battery is good at the time and even has half of the battery left. I have even changed from the rechargeable battery to alkaline batteries to see if this was the...

    A co-worker who doesn't detect asked me if I had an extra detector he could use. His brother had bought an old hotel and tore it down to build a new pharmacy. We went to the site and I showed him how to use my old Minelab Sov. while I used my Exploreer. It was fun to see his face when he...

    Explorer XS troubles! Has this happened to anyone else?

    I have been getting frustrated with my XS lately, has anyone had their machine just turn off on its own before? At first I thought it may be the battery but I switched batteries and it did the same thing. When I try to turn it back on, it tells me to reset. So then I have to press the power...
