    Can Impact use AA Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries?

    Does anyone know if one can use rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries in the Impact? I know some are labeled as 3.7 volts. Probably the Impact uses 1.5 volt batteries?

    Here's a nice video on the Impact

    Video on the Impact with some different settings and how it picks up a coin with a square cut nail and a 3 ringer bullet with the nail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kP0VU2oyMA

    You guys who have used Explorers and E-tracs, a question

    In a side-by-side comparison of the Explorer SE and E-trac, do you think both detectors are pretty much neck and neck as far as depth and hunting in trashy places? or does one outshine the other? I detected with a friend who has an E-trac this morning and I used my Explorer SE Pro but didn't...

    Thomas Dankowski's article on target masking. Excellent read.

    In March of the year 2000, Thomas Dankowski wrote this rather revealing article on masking of targets: Thomas Dankowski's masking of targets In it, he explains how something as simple as a staple above a coin in the ground can completely mask the coin from being detected. He's not talking...

    Anyone here us the XP G-Maxx 2?

    I realize this is the XP Deus forum but, well, anyway: If you do use the XP G-Maxx 2, what are your thoughts on this detector? Where does one purchase it? Where does one send it if it needs repaired?

    Took my newly repaird XS detecting

    I was going super slow over an area I've gone over a gazillion times with other detectors. I know it's not much, but I'd take it any day over memorial cents or nothing. Interesting that my threshold is totally silent until I get to 7. My SE Pro does the same thing but until it hits 8. Funny I...

    Just got my XS back from England for repair

    They did a great job and quick turnaround! Now where on earth did Iput that 1/8" male to 1/4" femail adapter for my headphones!? I have one but it has too large plastic. The rubber battery lid keeps me from being able to insert the 1/8 all the way in. Oh the inhumanity!

    Years ago Met up with some here in Illinoise

    Years ago Met up with some from here on the Explorer message board. I drove to Illinois to meet them. I used to post a lot here years ago and was bemoaning the fact that I wasn't finding anything like what was being posted here. So these guys who were really really good with the Explorer asked...

    Fors relic or Impact coin?

    I'm curious if the Impact does better at sniffing out coins in iron than the Fors? Are both machines just as deep?

    Threshold question on Explorer SE

    Sometimes when I'm detecting I completely lose my threshold sound. Only when I stop swinging it returns. If I'm swinging while I don't hear a threshold, will I be losing out on some deep coins?

    How many still use their Explorer XS?

    I recently sent in my Explorer XS to have the top part of the brain box replaced with a new one due to a Minelab repair shop breaking the plastic that holds down the top part. This happened years ago so I bought an Explorer SE. The XS just sat there. I hope to get the repaired XS back soon. I...

    Took Explorer SE out for a couple hours today

    Part of a pocket watch, a toy gun, an old compact with ruje (or however the heck you spell it) still filled. Possibly part of a lock? Don't know. One Merc, rest modern coins. Mosquitos ran me off a farm today. They nearly carried me away!

    Anyone here use the Minelab PRO-FIND 25 Pinpointing Probe?

    How far away from the coin in the hole will it detect the coin? If a coin is still buried at an inch under the hole in the dirt?

    Some of the square cut nails I have to detect around

    One of the nails I detected tonight. There are many smaller square cut nails as well. Maybe they are worth more than coins? :surrender:

    XP DEUS in iron nail infested yards?

    On this property I've detected on, it goes back to around 1820. Problem is the yard is littered with old square cut iron nails. I mean they are everywhere! The former owners before me moved here in 1920 and tore down the original home and scavenged the wooden beams and whatever else and built a...

    How does one know when battery pack is fully charged?

    I got my new Explorer SE Pro the other day. Instructions say to charge the batteries for 18 hours the first time you charge them. I charged them overnight for 19+ hours but the red light stayed red on the charger this morning. Is this red light supposed to go off when the batteries are fully...

    Just received my Explorer SE Pro . . .

    I was going to town and saw the uber cute postal carrier girl and got her to stop. I asked her if she had a package for me. She said "Yes" with a sly grin. She handed me my package of my new Minelab Explorer SE Pro. I said "Thanks!" As I was pulling away, I glanced to see if she was looking at...

    AT Gold vs. AT Pro or Max

    Hi friends, I've never owned a Garrett though I used a friend's 2500 once. I'm curious about the AT Gold for coin shooting in an area where there are tons of old square iron nails verses the AT Pro. Or is there a better Garrett than the Gold and Pro for coin shooting in such a condition of...
