    NEL Coils for Explorer?

    Has anyone tried the NEL coils for Explorers? They look great! The one I'm most interested is the NEL Hunter, 12.5X8.5 DD. The factory specs have its weight at 490 grams. Converted, that's only 17.28 ounces! That's light for a 12 inch coil! I inquired if that included a coil cover or not...

    2 FBS Explorer Coil Weights and Opinions

    As mostly a water rat, I know BBS. FBS is new to me and I recently acquired an older Explorer XS, in search of the perfect beach/land machine for me and my style of hunting. I prefer lighter machines and modified the XS to a Whites S-Rod and powered her up with a rear mounted Excalibur pod...

    Kind Of A Dumb Question, but...

    Would a 28 frequency FBS coil work on a 17 frequency BBS machine? The obvious answer is no... but then why not? I could see the other way round not working because the BBS coil could not handle the FBS frequencies. Has anybody tried?

    Coil Weights?

    I've been researching coil weights and get different numbers. Does anybody know weight in ounces of the following Explorer coils without coil covers? Numbers without the coil covers would give the true weight of the coils. SR X-12 12X10 SEF ML Pro Coil

    Which coil would be Better at Wet Salt Bach?

    The 12X10 SEF or the ML PRO Coil? If these 2 are a toss-up, then I may want to buy a Pro Coil for the slightly lighter weight.

    Best Coils For My XS?

    I have a modified XS on Whites rod with 12X10 SEF coil. I also just got a set of Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones and to me they seem a match made in heaven with the XS! More so than on my other machines. If I wanted to use my XS for all-round land hunting from mountains to sea, which extra...

    Has Anyone Done an ATP salt beach test...

    comparing the depth of the ATP to other beach machines on gold rings in wet salt sand? The W&E Treasures ATP field test posted on this forum, tells of 2 nice gold rings found on salt beaches with the ATP! It mentions running high sensitivity with manual GB adjustments in the wet salt sand. My...

    SOVEREIGN XS Meter MOD

    Several here convinced me to keep my used Sovereign XS with Coin Search coil. Everything works perfect, only the external speaker volume is muted as something must be wrong with the speaker. I had the option of returning the machine for a refund, but have decided to keep it and will have the...

    More Sovereign XS questions...

    Since so many praise the XS, I guess I'll keep despite the low external speaker volume. Other than that it seems to work very well. It came with the Coin Search coil and a non-numeric meter with an expanded and normal range. Whatever those are? I unhooked the meter and am using a Whites...

    Help with SOV XS...

    I recently purchased a used Sovereign XS. It seems to work, only the external speaker has almost no volume. Even with volume at max. When I plug in headphones, they have great volume and the volume adjust works perfect. But the external speaker reports very low- like volume were set to...

    Looking for a FAST Salt Beach machine...

    I'm in Washington State and want to hit our Pacific Ocean beaches from Washington down to Oregon, in search of possible shipwreck coins. The beaches are vast, so I want to be able to cover some ground in wet salt sand. I have an Infinium PI, custom Excalibur and custom Explorer XS. But all of...

    Where can I get...

    a hip/belt mount plate for my CZ70 PRO? The one with 3 holes in a triangle where electronics housing pins slide in. I also posted in the Classifieds Forums here, but figure this might be difficult to find? Thanks for any leads. I want to mount my CZ on the Fisher chest harness and swing the...

    What Does CZ Stand For...

    now that the old Fisher is gone? I recall reading years ago in a copy of Fisher World News, where someone asked what CZ stood for? The response was that it was a secret and would not be revealed by Fisher. At the time I thought that was rather silly and made me think of my family history-...

    XS Phones...

    As was suggested, I think I'm going to get a set of SunRay Pro headphones for my XS. I read the glowing review of the phones and feel an FBS sound machine deserves quality phones. My XS is modified on an S rod with 1/4 phone plug mounted on the backside of control housing. So I favor a 90...

    Mono Coils a thing of the Past?

    Seems like many of the new Hot machines all have DD coils now. The G2, T2, ATPro, AT Gold, Xtera 705... With today's technology will mono coils be a thing of the past? The new DD coils cover ground better while seeing less of the mineral matrix. As an example the new Garrett blunt-nose 11"...

    XS Coil?

    I'm trying to find my right-for-me land/beach detector and am comparing my XS to others. It is modified on a Whites rod with 1/4 plug, 1600 Excalibur battery pod and with 10X12 SEF. There is no doubt the XS is tougher to learn, but I like it. What would be the best all-around use coil/size...

    GTP 1350 DD coil ?

    Has anyone tried the newer Garrett 8.5X11 blunt-nose DD coil on the GTP 1350? That same style coil works very well on my ATPro and I'm wondering if that coil would bring the GTP up a notch performance wise? I'm surprised how deep the GTP hits with the stock elliptical mono coil and just have...

    CZ70 PRO in the Closet?

    I just bought a clean used CZ70 Pro from the classifieds forum here and it seems to work well. Just how good is this detector as an all-around hunter, compared with today's newer technology machines? DD coils seem to be the way now, and using the CZ 8 mono does seem different (coverage wise)...

    AT Pro Headphones?

    What would be a good set of aftermarket all-around use land headphones for AT Pro?

    ATP vs G2?

    Does anyone have both machines? How does their all-around field performance compare? Depth, stability in hot/trashy ground, on coins, wet salt beach, nuggets. I realize most here on this forum will favor the ATP. But how does the G2 compare? I'm planning a first trip to England and want to...
