    Deus vs Minelab

    Can anybody give me any info regarding how Deus stacks up to Minelab? The Deus Ads are very interesting, but I would prefer to hear from experienced detectorists who have used both before I make a decision to buy or not. I have used a Minelab XS Explorer for many years, and have been very...

    Question on the "Swingy Thingy"

    I just saw the "Swingy Thingy" on ebay, item no. 290296749975. It is supposed to make your detector easy to handle after several hours of detecting. Has anybody out there used it, and if so, is it all it is cracked up to be? If it works, it sure would be a great help to me as, at my age, my...

    NEODYMIUM IRON BORON MAGNETS--ANY GOOD?

    I have seen these magnets advertised on ebay, supposedly to help when detecting. They are supposed to be very powerful. Has anybody out there used these things, and if so, have you found them to be of any value while detecting, and if so, how? I am not an expert on magnets or electronics, but...

    ANY GOOD DIGGER RECOMMENDATIONS? I'M

    I'm currently using the GATOR digger, and have been using it for quite a few years. It's a great digger, but it only measures 9.5" from the top of the handle to the tip of the blade, and it's starting to dull. Many times I have wished that I had a longer and sharper digger for those deepies, and...

    NEW JERSEY SHORE QUESTION--I FINALLY GOT

    my Excalibur and am itching to try it out! Was wondering if you N.J. shore guys/gals can suggest any good beaches to give it a try at. I used to hunt A.C. with my Explorer XS, and did fairly well, but I stopped going there after they replenished the beach a few years ago. Has anybody out there...

    Excalibur Coil Questions--is a loose cover normal, and

    I just purchased an excalibur on eBay. It like new and appears to be in excellent condition, but I notice that the coil cover is fairly loose and I'm afraid that it might fall off from wave action when detecting in the surf. Is this normal for the cover to be so loose, and if not, is there an...

    I notice that Kellyco. is offering, as a "freebie" (of course, we know there is no such thing!) the Automax pinpointer if you pay the $14.95 for "shipping and handling" when you buy a new detector--oops-there goes the "freebie"! But my question is this--does anybody out there use the Automax...

    QUESTION FOR EXCALIBUR USERS

    Since I enjoy beach detecting, I am contemplating purchasing an Excalibur (I am presently using the Explorer XS). Since there are two models, the 800 and the 1000, I was wondering if there are any advantages to purchasing one over the other. I have read that the only difference between the two...

    QUESTION FOR EXPLORER XS USERS WITH WOT COIL

    If you use an explorer xs and use the WOT coil, I have a question for you. I recently received a WOT coil, but have not used it as yet. I presently do beach detecting using the standard 10" explorer xs coil, and I have been very happy with it, as it is not unusual to find coins at 12+ inches. My...
