    How Does the XS Compare in Depth with

    the GT, Explorer II, and SE (SEPro)? I just purchased a XS with the last update installed. I'm curious how it compares to the other top Minelabs (not just in depth). Any comments? Thanks, Badger

    Tejon Better Than Nautilus IIB - What Do Think?

    I've been at detecting a little longer than dirt has existed on planet earth. I've owned them all (almost) and now I'm thinking back to my Tejon and Nautilus IIB. Which one was the better coin machine? It's been so long I don't really recall anymore. Actually it doesn't take me very long to not...

    Good Times with Tesoro

    My first Tesoro was the DeLeon. I purchased it not too long after they came out with that model. I dug more coins and relics that year that any of my other years doing this hobby (I started detecting in 1968 with a Whites CoinMaster IV). I was one of the first to dig Western Michigan's lost...

    Back to the GT

    I sold my GT to try a used Explorer II. Well, we all make mistakes, right? Did Minelab really make the Explorer? I would say piece of junk but I don't wish to offend anyone. Anyway, I've sold the Explorer and a new GT is on its way:super: Badger

    Questions From a NEW Explorer II Owner

    I have an Explorer II coming to me very soon. Questions: 1. What coin depth can I expect from using the factory settings in mild Michigan soil? 2. What settings would you recommend I use for mild mineral but trashy soil? 3. Is the 6 inch coil a good idea for the ExII ? Thanks

    The Minelab Sovereign GT Gets Poor Depth

    My Silver uMax Arrived Today and

    I took it to our local school for a little test. Not bad, within 30 minutes or so I dug about 7 coins and one was a 1946 wheat. The wheat was as deep as the indian pennies and merc dimes are around here. From the scale on my digging tool the wheat was near 6 1/2 inches deep. I wasn't too...

    Headphones, Not To Beat A Dead Horse, BUT

    what exactly makes expensive headphones better for single tone pitch Tesoro detectors? I could maybe see them for detectors that have all those high and low tone pitch sounds, but how are they better for the singles? What I have found with all my Tesoro detectors is the good targets just...

    Are The Multi Frequency Detectors Really Better?

    This question has bugged me for a long time. I just watched an online video that basically communicated this message: Buy our expensive multi frequency machines or you're going to miss lots of good finds. How bout it? Are those BIG bucks multi frequency machines getting better depth than our...

    Silver Sabre & uMax Questions --- "hot" Machines?

    Greetings! Here's my questions: What is the main difference(s) between the original 1983 Silver Sabre and the Silver Sabre II ? Also, do the older Silver Sabres get the depth of the new Silver Sabre uMax? And lastly, are there really "hot" individual detectors that go extra deep? I mean...

    Original Silver Sabre or Tejon?

    I was just checking the various detector writeups online and came upon a website that claimed that the old original Tesoro Silver Sabre is superior to the new Silver uMax. Another site claims that the Silver uMax fitted with the 9x8 concentric web coil can beat the "hot" Tejon with stock coil...
